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 Phil L. asks: I LOVE the Legends of Wrestling shows, and am glad they're part of the WWE Network lineup. Any chance they'll start doing more, now that the Network is up and running?

PWTorch columnist Sean Radican answers: I think there's a chance we could see more of the Legends of Wrestling shows added to the WWE Network in the future. They badly need more original content and this particular series would be relatively cheap and easy to produce in the studio. There seems to be a moratorium of sorts on original content right now, but I think that will change in the near future. If consumer feedback from customers that have let their subscriptions lapse shows that they were displeased with the lack of original content, WWE will have to do something to address that.

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: Unfortunately, it seems like the idea of adding more original programming is on hold right now while the Network struggles to gain traction amongst WWE fans. I too enjoy the Legends of Wrestling roundtables and the one thing the show has going for it is it would not be very costly to produce new episodes.

PWTorch reader Uzoma I. asks: Roderick Strong has been in Ring of Honor longer than anyone has. He's the second Triple Crown in the company's history by being a Tag Team Champion with Austin Aries, World Champion, and Television Champion. Knowing this makes me ask this: If he decides to end his long ROH run, where should he go to? TNA or WWE? Thank you, PWTorch, your AskPWTorch section is still the best!

PWTorch columnist Sean Radican answers: I think Strong should go wherever he can make the most money at this point in his career. He isn't considered old yet, but the window for WWE to consider signing him will close in the next few years most likely. Strong has been in TNA before and it didn't end well for him the first time around and, with TNA's future up in the air and a new TV deal with a new network likely to leave the company with less financial flexibility, I have a hard time seeing them signing Strong for more money than he can make working the independents. Strong isn't under contract to ROH right now, so if WWE decided to sign him, he could go right away. Strong is good in the ring and would be a solid undercard talent for WWE. I wouldn't be surprised if WWE considered for a role as a trainer at NXT at some point if they don't sign him as a wrestler. I don't think it's a matter of him ending his ROH run, but it's more a case of Strong having the right offer come his way before he leaves ROH and the independent scene.

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: Strong has appeared in TNA previously and has participated in WWE's tryout camps in the past. It's difficult to recommend anyone going to TNA given its tenuous prospects for the future. His style may fit better in TNA, though. Obviously, given his talent, it would be interesting to see what he'd accomplish in WWE.

PWTorch reader Uzoma I. asks: Seeing how indy stars are (or have) thrived on the current NXT and the heavy focus on the wrestling has me asking this: While I don't mind that he's back in TNA and he doesn't plan on going back to WWE, how would Low Ki fare on NXT compared to when he was on Season 2 of the original version?

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: It's an apples-to-oranges comparison, as the current version of NXT does not resemble at all the incarnation of NXT in which Low Ki participated. Since he won the NXT competition the season he was on, it's not like he was unsuccessful in that version. Sure, he didn't get a big push when he got to the main roster, but on the NXT program, he let his personality shine a little bit. With the talent currently in NXT, I'm sure Low Ki would have some good matches, but beyond that, I couldn't say. He's 35 years old, so there's not much chance he'd end up in NXT now anyway.

PWTorch columnist Sean Radican answers: Low Ki doesn't have the personality to fit in well behind the scenes in WWE, so he wouldn't fit in well at all if he signed and went to NXT.

PWTorch reader Hollie S. asks: I've read different articles regarding Seth Rollin's future in WWE. While he is Mr. Money In The Bank and routinely wins on "Raw" and "Smackdown," I've seen what happens to people like Damien Sandow, Dolph Ziggler, etc. - wrestlers who are talented in ring and on the mic, but are not considered main event material. Not even sure what happened to Damien Sandow as he was a previous MITB winner, lost to Cena and then his career (in WWE) has been circling the drain. I think Seth Rollins is tremendously talented - he and Dean Ambrose are the best on the WWE main roster, but I am concerned his future booking will be weak. Will he have a successful cash-in? Is he a future WWE Heavyweight Champion? I think and hope so. Your thoughts? Many thanks!

I think Seth Rollins is tremendously talented -- he and Dean Ambrose (imo) are the best on the WWE main roster, but I am concerned his future booking will be weak. Will he have a successful cash-in? Is he a future WWE Heavyweight Champion? I think and hope so. Your thoughts?

PWTorch columnist Greg Parks answers: I wouldn't worry too much about the push of Rollins. As noted by Wade Keller in his WWE Roster Evaluation (featured on the VIP website and PWTorch Newsletter last month in both text and audio formats), Rollins has the right people behind him backstage. That could always change, but Rollins stands a pretty good chance of having a bright career in WWE. The cash-in is interesting because if he is to succeed, I wouldn't think he does it before Wrestlemania. And even if he does cash-in and lose, I wouldn't assume then that he'll end up in the same position as the Zigglers and Sandows of the world.

PWTorch editor Wade Keller answers: The fact that he carries the MITB briefcase has little to do with how he'll be pushed. It's not like WWE decides whether to push someone or not based on whether they have the MITB briefcase. Vince McMahon decides whether he wants to push someone based on whether he thinks they're worth pushing. The key here is that if he is high on them one month when they win MITB, it's no guarantee he'll be high on them six weeks later. That said, Rollins is very highly regarded and Vince didn't push him on a whim. Rollins is part of the top tier core of the company and is going to be protected to a certain degree - not as much as, say, Roman Reigns, but he's in no danger of falling down the depth chart like Sandow and Ziggler.
