Is Ron Simmons in the WWE Hall of Fame? If he is not do you think he will ever be? I mean he was the first ever black World Heavy weight Champion.

He is not in now but I could see him getting in down the road.  Simmons definitely broke a barrier.

Are Murphy and Scott Steiner still with TNA?

Scott Steiner is.  He has been working the Ring Ka King project in India.  Murphy isn't on the active roster any more.  TNA decided he needed more seasoning.

What about this: if Chris Jericho had won the Royal Rumble, he announced the championship he wanted at WrestleMania was The Undertaker's streak?

That would have definitely been interesting and I wouldn't have had a problem if they had gone that route with Jericho.  They could have told a great story about him not being a full time guy and he came back specifically to beat The Undertaker and end the streak.  It would have been cool.

What is Mick Foley's current work status with WWE? Is it Royal Rumble and out or a longer term? If he is slated to stay longer, I think I have a great angle for him. At the Rumble, have Cena beat Kane clean and have Kane destroy him afterwards. So Cena approaches Foley to be his "hardcore mentor", and Foley is hesitant for a few weeks while Kane wreaks havoc. Finally Foley agrees to help Cena, setting up vignettes with Foley bringing back Cactus Jack and Mankind to help in his training with the match at Wrestlemania as a hardcore match of Cena vs. Kane. Have I been smoking too much of the "dream pipe", or does that sound like a great angle?

Foley is associated with WWE now but it's clear his days of being an active regular wrestler are over.  He has gained a lot of weight, is older and can't even put on his right sock and shoe by himself.  His years of abuse on his body are taking their toll.  Cena is taking on The Rock at Mania, no way they do him and Kane.  As for the dream pipe, only you know what you do in your free time.

Who wins in a dance off between Rikishi, Brodus, and Akeem? And would the ring collapse if they did?

Akeem loses for sure.  He had the least rhythm.  I think Brodus actually edges out Rikishi, due in part to having better back up dancers.
