I'd like to see them get every living former WWWF/WWF/WWE Champion in one place at one time to take a picture together at wrestlemania, before any more die off. It would be really cool to see everyone living from Bruno to Bryan all together.
Who would be the hardest to get? Other than Jeff Hardy and Angle. I guess Warrior?
Still it would be cool to see everyone together.

Alberto Del Rio, since nobody wants to acknowledge that actually happen.

It would be nothing short of a miracle if they got "Superstar" Billy Graham.

"Superstar" Billy Graham might be tricky because of past issues with him having spoken out.
This is an interesting idea though. Maybe have portraits of the deceased ones in the picture too.
For the record, here are all the living ones.
-Bruno Sammartino -Ivan Koloff -Pedro Morales -"Superstar" Billy Graham -Bob Backlund -The Iron Sheik -Hulk Hogan -The Ultimate Warrior -Sgt. Slaughter -The Undertaker -"Nature Boy" Ric Flair -Bret "Hit Man" Hart -Diesel (Kevin Nash) -Shawn Michaels -Sycho Sid -Stone Cold Steve Austin -Kane -The Rock -Mankind -Triple H -Mr. McMahon -Big Show -Kurt Angle -Chris Jericho -Brock Lesnar -John "Bradshaw" Layfield -John Cena -Edge -Rob Van Dam -Randy Orton -Jeff Hardy -Batista -Sheamus -The Miz -CM Punk -Rey Mysterio -Alberto Del Rio -Daniel Bryan
Meaning we'd need portraits of -"Nature Boy" Buddy Rodgers -Stan "The Man" Stasiak -Andre The Giant -"Macho Man" Randy Savage -Yokozuna -Eddie Guerrero
...huh, fewer on the "No Longer With Us" list than I thought.

Thanks for listing them out, CMWaters. I too am surprised at the ratio of alive to dead guys is so high.

I'll go through some of them:
For whatever reason, Pedro Morales just hasn't been interested in doing special appearances for WWE any more.
As already stated, Superstar Graham is currently speaking out against WWE and had spoken out against Linda McMahon during her latest Senate run.
Ivan Koloff still makes appearances at legend's events, so I don't see why he wouldn't participate in a special event with WWE to honor all of the living WWE Champions.
Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, and Iron Sheik are all of good terms with WWE and have recently appeared for them in events like the Hall of Fame. Shiek has been in the crowd at some of the recent Hall of Fame ceremonies.
Hulk Hogan's potential involvement is up in the air since his future with TNA is so uncertain right now.
Ultimate Warrior participating is not out of the question, but he's turned down Hall of Fame before due to the 'Self Destruction' DVD. Recently, he has met with Vince and has done work for the upcoming video game.
The following are on good terms with WWE and would likely participate: Sgt. Slaughter, Undertaker, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Diesel, Shawn Michaels, Sid, Steve Austin, Kane, Mankind, Triple H, Big Show, Vince McMahon, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, JBL, John Cena, Edge, Rob Van Dam, Randy Orton, Sheamus, The Miz, Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio, and Daniel Bryan.
Batista is on good terms with WWE, but his schedule in Hollywood is picking up.
Jeff Hardy and Kurt Angle are in TNA.
I might have left out some living WWE Champions, but I covered most of them.

Yeah, Pedro just hasn't appeared in years.
I don't think he was even there for his Hall of Fame induction in the 90s.

I don't think he was there, but it's hard to verify since I don't think WWE had ever aired the Hall of Fame ceremonies from the 1990s. I do remember clips of it being shown and I think Savio Vega accepted the honor on behalf of Pedro Morales. Supposedly he just isn't interested in doing appearances with WWE.

We'll just use a cardboard cut-out of Billy Graham.

That was the moment I realized that WWE became very aware of us. They could have done a picture like this anytime, but they chose the time that every champ was an IWC favourite (plus Kofi Kingston).

I'm all for this if at the end Sycho Sid punches all of them in the face, and tells them it was because when they got their asses on stage with him they made themselves part of the game
