Since it's looking more and more like Nash will be returning to the WWF sometime this month - do you think Hall will join him? And if so, how long will it take?
Personally, I could see Hall returning in time for Wrestlemania...

Well, between his constant drinking problems and they way he rubbed Shane the wrong way this past summer, I'd say it's pretty slim that we'll see Hall in the WWF any time soon. And personally, I can't see what they'd do with Hall anyway outside of teaming him up with either Nash or X-Pac. As if the Tag Team Division in the WWF wasn't bad enough.
I don't want to see Hall back before he's cleaned up. I only liked him wrestling-wise when he was Razor Ramon. And I don't think that will be happening since most everyone knows him as one of the Outsiders.
But I do want to see the return of Konnan. NOT K-Dawg. NOT the rapper/wrestler who had the way too long music video. I want to see the return of Konnan when he was just Konnan, wrestling up a storm.
I also want to see Jerry Lynn too. I mean, last time he was on a major show, he was at WWF New York going "WHOOP-DEE-DOO" to Jim Ross. I hear he's rehabing a knee, so I hope when he's done with that, there's a slot for him to shine in (maybe for the Cruiserweight division?).
...Some fear the Pink... ...But many fear....THE MOUNTIE! (He's handsome, he's brave, and he's strong, you know)
I also would like to see Jarret. Unfortunatey he napalmed his bridges behind him. Pissing of Vince and SCSA at the same time was not the best decision. If JJ and Vince could work things out though JJ would be the person to bring back respect for the IC title and would make a good world champ too.
Now THERE's a guy who has no business NOT being on TV. I wish Vince would bury the hatchet with him and get 'em back into the fold - he could only do good things.
My vote is for Firebreaker Chip. JJ would be great. I couldn't wait for the first time he would call Vince "slapnuts" or "slappy". Howzabout the re-formation of The Midnight Rockers. Vince is in dire need of tag teams... ;-)
"-He's Touching Me. Batman is touching me. I'm dead, aren't I?-"
People I'd like to see come back within the next few months:
The Hardyz (actually, I want Lita to come back and for the WWF to send the Hardys to some school to re-learn the crispness of wrestling)
Chris Benoit
Rhyno
Chris Kanyon
DDP
Hogan (just so he could have his ass handed to him by the upper echelon, FURTHER CEMENTING said echelon)
Goldberg (see Hogan)
Val Venis
D'Lo Brown
Jeff Jarrett
Sting
[note: Not in order of favorites, just a list]
---=---:---=--- [Look up a line] Wow, that belt looks like crap... I'll take it and carry it around for years and see if people can take it away from me... What? What was that? You mean even THIS belt doesn't matter! What? I'm insulted! Get away from me you... you... defiler!
Put my name in the "Kanyon" category. I never get tired of the guy... hell, I was impressed with him back when he was a tag-team jobber dressing like a construction worker or something.
I'll never get the image out of my head of somebody fleeing the Nitro set in a rented car, pulling out through the security gate... and a moment later, waaaay off in the distance, juuuuust being able to see Kanyon run out and Kanyon Kut the security guy for no reason.
That barely-audible "BAAAAANG" made me laugh until I teared up.
Kansas-born and deeply ashamed The last living La Parka Marka: He drove the hummer!
The next person to return and get more than an average push will be Benoit. After that Rhyno.. I expect Benoit to walk in just before WM and challenge someone just to prove them wrong. Rhyno will probably come out of the crowd to gore!gore!gore! someone.
As for people 'unsigned' by the WWF: Most probably Nash.
Guys like Val will get a nice push to remind you they are back, but after that go back to the interchangeable curtain jerker level along with most of the wrestlers.
I actually cannot think of anyone yet unsigned who I really need to see and who I think can make a true impact right now. Ok, sorry..Jarrett would be great. Other than that *shrug*
Imagine this is some funny signature. Then I will imagine you compliment me on it.
Who do I think will be back next? Nash, unfortunately.
Who would I like back? Damn right I'll hop on the badwagon and say THE CHOSEN ONE Jeff Jarrett! I'd also like to throw in pretty much all of the cruiserweights that they released from the developmentals about a month ago. I'd really love to see Elix and Kid Romeo, if for nothing else but Elix'z theme song "Who's Primetime, I'm Primetime!"
They gotta bring these back!!!: "talk to the hand because the man don't understand." - "The Crippler" Chris Benoit "...and that is the LAST WORD." - "The Big Nasty" Paul Wight and of course: "Don't hate the playa...HATE THE GAME~!" - WCW World Champion Booker T
Who do I think will be back next? Nash, unfortunately.
I'd bet my sweet bippy that Nash will be back soon. Why? Because Jim Ross has said that X-Pac (who is the LH Champion) is at 100% and is ready to return at any time. The WWF has always shoved X-Pac down our throats, and he has a belt, for cryin' out loud, and he's still not back? It's because they're bringing him back with Nash and possibly other Cliq members. Also, remember a few months back when X-Pac was talking on the phone in Regal's office, griping to the "mysterious person" on the other end of the line that he had been getting no respect? Who do we think that personw was? Nash, of course. And as to the Diesel gimmick, I think they will call him Diesel when he returns, because the other Royal Rumble returns are old WWF gimmicks. They're just setting the stage for the Diesel push.

At last! The Blade Runners repackaged~!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT THE DIESEL PUSH! ... :'( Waaaaah... LOL

BrewGuy, JohnPi, Spiraling_Shape, DrOp, BobHollySTILLRules, and Mike Phoenix correctly predicted the return of Val Venis.
Additionally, Super Shane Spear and Mike Phoenix both selected the Hardys (though we'll see if they're truly back, or if they will wait until February to return in full).
No one predicted the return of Mr. Perfect, Goldust, or the Godfather - especially as more than one-time characters.

I know that the Ross Report should always be taken with a grain of salt, but when he says that Steve Blackman's prognosis is not good, I have a feeling we may never see "The Lethal Weapon" wrestle again.
Other than the obvious [Rhyno, Benoit] I would like to see Al Snow back in the ring. If Tazz was able to use Tough Enough to get a semi-push, why not Al?
Since we get to do these less often these days*...alternate thread title: Shaul long, Farewelsh, Auf-livergrey, Some Guy *My thoughts and prayers are with these superstars and divas in these tough economic times.
