Pro Wrestling Torch was established in 1987 by Wade Keller. One of the primary traits PWTorch has been credited with over the years is assembling the best and most diverse staff of columnists with broad knowledge, but also areas of specialty where they have a particularly strong grasp of history. Every day PWTorch.com presents that team of writers answering your questions, some of which are fact-based and others of which are opinion-based. Either way, we've got you covered with Bruce Mitchell, Pat McNeill, Sean Radican, Greg Parks, James Caldwell, and Wade Keller. Collectively they have over 80 years working for the Torch, writing about wrestling and studying industry history and trends.

If you have a question you'd like us to respond to, send your question to askpwtorch@gmail.com. I, along with the Torch staff, will address you questions in this feature and also the “Ask PWTorch: All-Star Panel” edition which is also published most days here at PWTorch.

PWTorch reader Jeff from Michigan asks: Does Bray Wyatt have to win at WrestleMania so he doesn't look weak in a loss against the Undertaker who is so much older than him?

PWTorch assistant editor James Caldwell replies: You could put experience, size, and 21 WrestleMania wins in Taker's column, while also putting youth, freshness, and fearlessness in Wyatt's column. But, WWE tried to eliminate as many of those "discrepancies" as possible in the build-up, putting the focus on the supernatural and mysterious nature of the feud. So, I don't think Bray needs to win if they tell a good story based on the build-up. (And does Taker need a "losing streak" with back-to-back Mania losses?) I just think WWE needs to make sure Bray has something to play with from the Mania match to make sure the audience still takes him seriously and doesn't start seeing him as full of empty threats.

PWTorch reader Phil M. asks: I know Zeus did not have a long WWE run, but I would say it was impactful. Will he ever be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame?

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: Unless it's for their yet-to-be-established Movie Wing of their HOF, I don't see it happening.

PWTorch columnist Sean Radican answers: My guess would be there's very little chance of that happening unless they're running really low on people to induct into the WWE HOF.

PWTorch editor Wade Keller answers: What exactly was his impact? No way. Koko B. Ware and Vince McMahon’s limo driver are arguably more deserving.

PWTorch VIP MEMBER Cody B. asks: With Brock Lesnar re-signing with WWE, do you think he will ever wrestle on Raw or at least make an appearance on Smackdown?

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: It really depends on how many dates Lesnar has signed on for, and there seems to be conflicting information about that right now. If the dates are as limited as they are now, then I believe his matches should be kept on PPV. WWE's PPVs, or "special events" now that they're on the Network, feel less and less special with each passing month. Keeping Brock as a special event attraction would make them more important.

PWTorch editor Wade Keller answers: As fir Raw, if he has more dates than his last deal, he probably should wrestle on a very special edition, like up against Monday Night Football’s first game. But otherwise, his value is as a special attraction who isn’t wrestling on TV regularly and being taken for granted. As for Smackdown, if ratings were taking a huge hit from NFL Thursday or something, I suppose there’s chance, but I doubt it - certainly not more than once a year.

PWTorch VIP MEMBER Rick from the U.K. asks:
I've been a VIP subscriber now for about 6 years and I really enjoy your VIP audio shows and your Daily Hotline. Here's my question: If Reigns turns heel at WrestleMania and aligns with Paul Heyman to get the win over Lesnar, doesn't that make the Undertaker loss last year pointless. If Lesnar losses the title, but Reigns doesn't win clean, then I feel like it takes a lot away from Taker essentially passing the torch to Reigns via Lesnar. I just wanted to hear your thoughts.

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: I would tend to agree with this. However, since Lesnar beat Taker, many things have occurred that perhaps WWE didn't plan on at the time of Lesnar's win over Taker, including the lukewarm response by fans to Reigns and Lesnar re-upping with WWE for three years. Those happenings may have led to a change in booking that, in hindsight, could make the original plan of Reigns getting the "rub" from Lesnar after Brock's win over Taker, something that's not in play anymore.

PWTorch editor Wade Keller answers: There are a number of scenarios where it could still count. Heck, I think Lesnar is stronger today after beating Taker than had he lost. That gave Lesnar a certain stripe on his proverbial uniform that can never be taken away, even if he were to lose to Reigns. If he beats Reigns, he has his own special new streak of sorts going on. Lesnar beating Taker gave Lesnar an aura of being a legit top top level guy WWE was invested in, even if for the short run, versus being an ex-UFC guy WWE hired to just put over their in-house legend. So they already got something out of it. If Reigns loses, though, but Lesnar goes on to be a huge babyface draw on big events, then the Lesnar win also wasn’t all for nothing.
