The Rock did say that his WWF (which is WWE right now), contract was up in 2004 in this interview because this was 2001 (when it was still the WWF back then). I don't think he knew he was going to keep making movies for as long as he did, originally this was just something he was doing on the side in addition to what he was already doing in wrestling, but The Rock's movie schedule didn't allow him to have time to wrestle, so he just decided to retire and do movies full time instead.

Look at Big Ramy in bodybuilding, he's the biggest most jacked guy on the planet, and is anything but an alpha. You have to remember The Rock was always on testosterone as well. You have to remember there's never 1 reason for really anything in life, it's almost always going to be some combination, not one specific thing. I agree with the other guys statement a little bit, The Rock has learned to be more comfortable in general, but that Howard just made very uncomfortable here, which is something he was good at.
