However, the difference is, if Rock is making movies for 5 years he will have made more money than anyone else in the history of pro wrestling (except Vince), and will have no reason to go back, at least on a regular basis.

I think there is something to be said about the desire wrestlers have to hear that big pop from the fans, and perform in front of a live audience. But in his position say when he's in his mid 30s and and has north of a hundred million dollars in the bank (maybe more), why bother risking your health? Yeah I could see him doing a month long program form time to time, but I dont think he'd be like Hogan, coming back to be a regualr characetr on TV every week. He just doesn't need it.
He may not need to. But I think he really loves the business. Realistically, he doesn't "need" to do it now. But he does make appearances and it wouldn't surprise me if he came back down the road. Granted being in a wrestling ring is always dangerous, but his style is far less dangerous than some.
