The Rock has to bounce back and forth because he plays both the WWE and Hollywood on each other to keep his career afloat. If a movie bombs he can go back to WWE and tell Hollywood the publicity will boost the next one, if a movie does well he can go there as a movie star and get a gigantic payout for relatively little effort compared to movies. Hogan and Flair both hemorrhage money and have children with similar spending habits. Sting funds the utility system of a random village in Africa and comes back periodically for a quick million to keep it going.
Austin made it, made it out alive and anything he does for a real extended return is just going to tarnish him more than shine.
