CM Punk leading a stable is not a bad idea. I think the analogies are just throwing people off. If CM Punk got into some guys' heads, and started recruiting them, he could come off as a "virus" that has infected the WWE.
You have Curt Hawkins who apparently has a bit of an emo gimmick going on. He would make a great follower for Punk. If the stable somehow expanded across the brands -- Zack Ryder trying to get his "bro" back from CM Punk could make for an entertaining storyline.
In FCW, Curt Hawkins has been paired with Caylen Croft & Trent Beretta, who are called "The Dudebusters," or something. I don't know what their gimmick is, exactly, but if they brought up Croft & Beretta to work in the faction; it gives them a tag team. I think they also had Penny Cash as a valet? She could make a great addition to the group, too.
I still like the idea of Kaval being called up by Punk as a "weapon" against all who oppose him. Punk can talk about how Kaval's discipline and training occupy his time, so he doesn't go out and party, and make the same mistakes we do. I can see Matt Striker putting over Kaval as some sort of "Human Weapon" quite effectively.
I'd keep Slam Master J out of the group, and rather have SMJ feud against Luke Gallows. Their history could be brought up, and it gives the former Festus a storyline to deal with.
Bryan Danielson being called up for the group would be interesting. I wouldn't have Danielson preach the straight-edge lifestyle so much as the discipline it takes to be the best. Danielson devotes his life to being "The Best in the World," and everyday he sees people whose lives are filled with meaningless activities. He would be "The Rock" to CM Punk's "Faarooq" in the Nation of Domination.
Drew McIntyre being added is still something I would not oppose. That's if Vince gives his backing to the group. So you'd end up with CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Bryan Danielson, Kaval, Luke Gallows, Curt Hawkins, Caylen Croft, Trent Beretta & Penny Cash.
