He was booed heavily in his matches against Hogan and Brock

Yes, a lot of people resented The Rock for going to Hollywood and doing movies, or should I say they resented that he was successful. Lots of Wrestlers during the peak era tries transitioning to being movie stars, Rock was just the only one that actually made it.
He started appearing on WWE TV less and fans got pissed. Wrestling fans were just scorned like their girlfriend had left them, because at the end of the day everybody knows the Rock could have wrestled for another decade. Didn't help that him being gone (along with Austin) led to HHH dominating the main event scene.
Because his character had gotten stale as a face.
Then he came back in 03 and crushed the buildings with an all time great heel run.

Race to Witch Mountain - $50 million budget/ $106 million gross
Planet 51 - $70 million budget/ $105 million gross
The Game Plan - $22 million budget/ $147 million gross
The Tooth Fairy - $48 million budget/ $112 million gross
Faster - $24 million budget/ $35 million gross
Those are the five movies he made before coming back to WWE that he had a headlining role in. The only one that bombed was Faster, which was a low budget R rated revenge flick. Every other film he did turned a profit. The problems with his movies weren't that they weren't making money, the problem was that most of them sucked and were bad family movies.
Those are not great numbers

Most likely Triple H was, The Rock was coming back in 05 but he had something to do with the WWE not resigning
