PWTorch reader Michael of Queens, N.Y. asks: I love the Dean Ambrose-Seth Rollins feud, particularly the steady rise of the “lunatic fringe” (besides that nickname). With Ambrose potentially chasing Rollins, is it possible that Creative can keep it going through Mania 31, where you would then have Ambrose chasing Rollins chasing Reigns for the final three months of Seth's briefcase reign?

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: I think it might be difficult to do that, just based on how many hours of TV and PPV stand between now and WrestleMania. You could see a Rollins vs. Ambrose match at Battleground and Summerslam, so that means you've already done two major singles matches involving the two, and you're still seven or eight months away from Mania. The way it could happen is if WWE teased an all-out feud for maybe a month, but then had the guys go their separate ways into other feuds, meeting up a few months before Mania to start the hype for that show. But with Ambrose's promise to be everywhere Rollins is in preventing him from cashing in the briefcase, and given how intense the feud has been so far (which wouldn't make sense for them to start feuding with other people), I don't see it working out that way.

PWTorch reader R. Jack asks: Is a loss by the “unstoppable” Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31 too soon? Since he beat The Streak, he hasn't wrestled a match. I only see him wrestling three matches before WM 31; two for sure, in Summerslam and the Royal Rumble. Would it make more sense for you if he kept his domination going through until WrestleMania 32?

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: I think it really depends on if WWE has a hot wrestler who will benefit greatly by beating Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31. Roman Reigns is the rumor, possibly winning his first WWE World Title against Lesnar at that event. At this point, the trajectory for Reigns makes it likely that will happen. If he runs into some speed bumps in the meantime, whether it's injury or not being booked well or he levels off, then you could make the case that WWE should hold off on his big win. Even then, you'd (hopefully) have someone like Daniel Bryan who could benefit from a win over Lesnar at Mania. I feel like if Lesnar is champion going into Mania, he really has to lose there, or the night after, as I don't think WWE is going to have the title on him longer than they have to because of his schedule.

PWTorch columnist Sean Radican answers: Lesnar is a part-time talent and it's best that WWE utilize him in a way where someone that's on the roster full-time will benefit. The ideal scenario going forward if Lesnar ends up getting the WWE World Championship would be for Lesnar to beat John Cena for the WWE World Championship at SummerSlam, add more dates to his contract, and plow through more opponents while boosting the number of Network subscribers tuning in to watch his title defenses live on PPV. At the same time WWE's handpicked successor to John Cena, Roman Reigns, needs to continue to get over and cement himself as a top tier player in WWE. If Reigns is ready by WrestleMania XXXI next year, he should absolutely go over Lesnar.

PWTorch reader Morgan asks: Keep up the great work. I never miss the "Ask PWTorch" segments. I am curious about the term "drawing money." I understand what it means and how it is measured. But before quarter-hour TV ratings and merchandise sales, how could promoters tell who was actually drawing the fans out to buy tickets? Is it always the main event? Don't some come to see other wrestlers on the card even in spite of who is in the main event? Some specific examples would be great.

PWTorch senior columnist Bruce Mitchell answers: Some simple examples: Shows with Bruno Sammartino in the Northeast or Ric Flair in the Southeast drew more at the time generally than other shows from the same companies at the same time. Main eventers had to show that ability consistently if they wanted to be paid main event money.

PWTorch reader & VIP MEMBER Booker G asks: Possibly a naive question, but does Dixie Carter now regret having ever gotten involved with TNA wrestling?

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: Owning a wrestling company has made Dixie Carter into a TV star. I doubt regret is even on her mind. Plus, she was able to keep a lot of good, hardworking people employed who would've otherwise lost their jobs if TNA had gone under and Panda Energy not invested. Given what we've heard and read about Dixie, that alone could've made it worthwhile to her.
