Answer
Hi Billy.  Thanks for the question.

1.  HBK:  I could see him getting one last run with the title.  However, he's said in the past that he doesn't want the title, since he doesn't work a full house show schedule, and it's important in promoting those events that the champion will be there.

Mysterio:  Possibly, but I doubt it.  He's kind of ruffled some feathers with WWE management after he failed a Wellness exam, and then criticized WWE's testing policy.  Also, his size hurts him.  Vince McMahon has always favored taller, muscular wrestlers, and a lot of fans have a hard time taking Mysterio seriously when he wrestlers the bigger guys.

Big Show:  I doubt it.  He's over with the crowd, but he's not really a guy who's going to sell a lot of PPV's.

Jericho:  Yes.  Other then Randy Orton, I think he's the top heel in the company right now.  He's a great wrestler, and he's great on the mic.  I would be surprised if he doesn't get another shot.

Rhodes:  Too early to tell.  He's come a long way, but we'll have to see if he has what it takes as a singles wrestler.  He's over as part of Legacy, but being on his own might be a different story.

2.  Well, I'm not in the lockeroom, so I will have to speculate on this, lol.

From what I've heard, Batista is the biggest pain.  Supposedly, he's full of himself, and has a major attitude.  He's been rude to other wrestlers in the past, including making inappropriate comments to Diva's.  I've also heard he isn't exactly the most friendly guy when it comes to dealing with the fans.

I've heard The Undertaker is a lockeroom leader, and is willing to help out anyone.  He's definitely well respected among his peers.

3.  Any year now, I'm guessing.  I think it all depends on his schedule, and whether he's willing to make an appearance or not.

4.  Yes to all of them.

Kane has been around a long time, and has one of the best gimmicks ever.

Cena's run the past few years speaks for itself.

Edge is one of the best heels in the business, and he's pretty much done it all.

Mysterio is one of the best cruiserweights ever, and one of the most successful in WWE.

The Hardy's as a tag team should get in alone.  I think Jeff would make it as a singles wrestler, with Matt maybe on the bubble.  However, I would take Matt over some of the current Hall of Famers.

Thanks again for the question.  Let me know if you have anything else.

Have a great day!

Dave
