One thing is for sure. A HUGE void will be left once they all go.

Either Undertaker or Big Show, and, since his knees seem to be held together by bubblegum and hope, I'm laying better odds on Undertaker.

I am thinking the Undertaker has to be the next to go. He barely wrestled at all this year and he is just being saved up for Wrestlemania. The only reason for him to continue wrestling another year is just to get to 20-0 and I can nearly guarentee he is done after that.
HHH would be the next one I would say, and at the current moment he is working backstage. But how long can he resist burying the most over talent?
After that it seems like a toss up for me. Edge and Misterio just seem to young to hang it up, no matter how beat up. Look at Kevin Nash, he's been regularly active into this year, who would have said that ten years ago? I could see them signing contracts like Michaels had, with just television dates.
Kane maybe, but I think he has a couple of years left in the tank. Sure his character will have gone full circle after this Wrestlemania, but he doesn't seem to have injury problems and isn't really slowing down.
I think Jericho will return. He has moderate sucess outside of the ring, and his SRS character started getting stale. But he is still able to be extremely over and can go in the ring with no problem. Also he is one of the few guys his age in the WWE that never really had injury issues.
The Big Show I am not really sure about. He has remained healthy, especially for a guy his size. But at this age I am betting he won't be able to keep it up much longer. He's not quite Andre's size, but not far off and I believe Andre was about 40 when things really caught up to him.

Everyone seems to be leaning towards Taker. I guess it would make sense for him to get 20-0 (my guess is against Wade Barrett), and then retire at Survivor Series, the same ppv he debuted at (thus giving SuSe a MASSIVE buyrate). That's not bad idea come to think of it. It wouldn't be too hard to book either considering Nexus has already had an association with Kane, and it would spare us 'Taker vs Kane for the millionth time. Taker could retire with the streak intact and elevate Barrett at the same time like he did for Randy Orton. I thought that was a turning point for Orton; even though he lost 'Taker made him look like a million bucks. That would be great if he could do the same for Barrett.

Some reason I see both Taker and HHH retiring in the same night.

If Jericho comes back and leaves again before any of these guys, I demand a Jericho #4 jersey in WWEShop.

One thing is for sure. A HUGE void will be left once they all go. I agree but, the WWE has only got themselves to blame. They've had plenty of chances to make new stars yet keep on squandering them. Even Sheamus who has had two title reigns still looks a notch below the rest of the main eventers on Raw because the WWE are scared to actually have one of their main event guys actually lose cleanly to him. And even when they did (Cena through the table) you had King nonstop assuring everyone that it was a complete fluke instead of putting over Sheamus for managing to beat Cena. The WWE should realise a lot of these guys are on their last legs and so have them start putting guys over more whilst at the same time still looking credible. HBK was the perfect balance, he put guys over (Hey, he once got pinned by Lance Cade of all people) but at the same time he still looked credible.
