I don't think they'd dump him either, I'm just wondering if people think they should dump him.
Yes he brings in money, but do you think he is detrimental to the company? Every time he returns you know they are going to make it a big deal, push him into the main event right away so they can take full advantage of the spike with a nice buyrate for the ppv, but think about it, that Main Event Spot he gets means someone else, someone more "deserving" (debateable, I know) gets pushed down. If he returns to say Smackdown, Benoit will go right back to Mid-carder, same with Angle unless he is champion at that point, if he returns to Raw Jericho will get pushed out of that Main Event spot.
I don't think they'd dump Rock in a million years, he's too much of a cash cow, but it's still interesting to discuss it, personally I think it might be better for the product if they'd dump him.
