I thought they already placed him in their Hall of Fame.
The Rock quietly retired

Change is inevitable...
1. Rowan knows where the bodies are buried.
2. If Cokeboy threw 20M at Rock he'd come back. Brock is rumored to be getting ~10, so Rock shouldn't even pick up the phone unless VKM is willing to shell out an entire movie salary for him, and rightfully so. Rock has transcended the squared circle and commands one of the highest salaries in Hollywood.

he really only wrestled a full year for 4 years(97-2000). thats crazyIt just dawned upon me that The Rock basically had a very short wrestling career. He wrestled full time from 1996-2002 which is only 6 years (and if you want to count his matches in 2003-2004 then that would be 8), but he was able to accomplish a lot in the wrestling world and make an impact in that small time and many people consider him one of the GOAT. Not bad.
Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
1) The Rock is already making 20+ million per film and that's not including any sort of any bonus based on movie sales.
2) Even if he wanted to, movie studios have clauses in their contracts which control certain outside activities that could injure their star.

What you see, is what you get
Rock is almost 50 yrs old at some point you got to call it a career. Rock been getting them Hollywood checks since 2001. We all know the grass is greener with those Hollywood paydays instead destroying your body for 500K a year.
I rather Rock gracefully bow out than whore himself out past his prime every year for a big payday or come out of retirement to do some fukkery in on a Saudi show.

The rock left before he broke his neck in the ring in the midst of his prime & took a chance in Hollywood & made it.
Came back with more bargaining chips & made more bread wrestling the few matches he did than a majority of the roster wrestling 300+ days.
Goofy wrestlers in today's industry don't know how to market themselves & then wonder they they gotta wrestle in a bingo hall with 40-50 people in attendance.

There’s no such thing as retirement in wrestling, music or movies.
He’ll be back sooner or later. No timeline on his in ring return, but guarantee he’ll have a match or two.
Didn’t goldberg retire in front of his wife and kid like 3yrs ago? And he’s already wrestled a handful of times since.

Ain't everybody got the leverage The Rock has lol.
Austin and Rock are two wrestlers who I fully believe when they say they are done for good. If Rock ever were to come back, it would be because he really had the itch.
But he and Steve you can tell are content AF.
