What would you pick for worst WWE & WCW pay per view of all-time?

Ordinarily I don’t like these kind of questions but two jumped right to mind: The December To Dismember and NWO Souled Out shows. They were terrible.

What are the chances that we can see Brock vs Rock headlining this year's WrestleMania?

Almost nil. After Rock got hurt in his WrestleMania match with John Cena, he had to take into account that he has a successful acting career and getting hurt doesn’t fit into the plans.

Does Eric Rowan = Luke Gallows?

Not yet but down the road, it could happen. I hope WWE gives him more of a chance than they gave Gallows.

The Royal Rumble has long been my favorite gimmick match in wrestling. I would, however, like WWE to announce the majority of the participants several weeks prior to the event or even hold qualifying matches for entry. Also, give each announced entrant a short promo to say why they are going to win. I am ok with a couple, maybe 5, surprise/returning entrants. The great thing about the Rumble is the uncertainty of who is going to win and earn a title shot. When a midcard wrestler is announced the week prior, or not at all, and doesn't proclaim imminent victory, it basically eliminates any thought of that superstar from contention thus watering down one of WWE's biggest matches of the year. I know they think the Rumble sells itself, but what would you do differently to build this match? 

First off, let’s be realistic, there are only a handful of people that have a legitimate chance to win now as it is, so that isn’t an issue to me. It would be nice to do qualifiers and all, but the roster is kind of thin for that now. And the planning process isn’t always done far enough out to do the things you would like to see. Don’t get me wrong, I think you have good ideas but the way the process is run today, with things changing all of the time, it doesn’t bode well to that kind of long term planning.

What are your thoughts on Baron Corbin? He certainly has the look, but seems a working progress in regards to ring work with all these shorter matches. But I can see him successful in the future on the main roster.

I think he is making progress and I would like to see it continue. He has a chance, for sure. I like what I see so far.
