Same reason Steve Austin doesn't? Ste Austin doesn't wrestle because a simple bump to his neck could paralyze him. Big difference.

Making movies is his job. If he gets hurt wrestling, then he won't be able to do his job.

The reason he tells John Cena to 'bring it' or tries to imply that he'll wrestle John Cena is because the Rock's a coward!
Only a coward threatens to fight someone knowing full well they won't really do it!
COWARD!!!!!!

Because he doesn't have to Exactly. If I ran a large movie studio and signed Dwayne Johnson to headline my next project, then found out that he was going to compete in a match - I'd be pretty upset. The chance that he could suffer a severe injury would halt production on a project that I've already invested millions of dollars in. I wouldn't want to risk that. My "actual" job is an insurance broker. I don't claim to know the ins and outs of the policies placed on movies but I can only imagine they restrict him from participating in events outside the film that could jeopardize the production. Also, if you're The Rock..why would you want to risk your well being? The man makes millions of dollars doing something that requires not nearly as much effort. He also seems to be having fun doing what he's doing. Besides, why does he even NEED to wrestle..this "promo war" is extremely entertaining. The Rock was always well known and loved for his skills on the mic anyway (not that he was all that bad in the ring)..so why not do something that shows off his strengths? I for one, do not need the match.

Why?
Because for one film he earns more than he would in a year of wrestling. Hell, he probably earned more for The Other Guys than he would in a month of wrestling.

Why? Because he's already earned millions of dollars in movies, and maybe he misses the live-energy of the crowd. Maybe it's because of exactly what he said last night. It's in his blood, Cena calling him out insulted his family heritage, and he has to do something about it.

I think at this rate The Rock's going to end up special guest referee in Cena vs. Miz.

Because he doesn't want to? Why would anyone who is making millions in Hollywood need to do it? The only reason he would wrestle is because he wanted to... he obviously doesn't. I'm sure his knees are still not great, and he knows just like every other wrestler that anything can go wrong when you step in the ring. The steps you take walking into a body slam could very well end up being the last steps you ever take.
Don't complain that he's not wrestling, be grateful that he's letting you relive a great character from another era for a few months.
