Bryan Danielson would be new, which does not equate to a jobber. If they bring him in and talk up his pedigree, and give him the same sort of credibility that they have lended Sheamus or Drew McIntyre, then he won't look like a jobber at all. He'll just be some straight-edge guy that CM Punk brought in, who is kicking ass. Maria is a Diva, she should not count as a jobber. The only problem with her joining is that it leaves Mickie James as like the only female babyface on the brand -- but a Beth Phoenix turn would be possible. But hell, they could go the other way and have Gallows call Maria an "enabler," and go after her, while some guy stands up for Maria, and Punk just grins knowing the past between him and Miss Kanellis. Get a more dominant woman like Phoenix to join.
Curt Hawkins, in my opinion, is PERFECT for the group. He's been gone a long time and could use the re-invention. Apparently his new look is right up the emo/alternative alley. Hawkins' character is already established as a challenger. He is not only one of the youngest champions in WWE history, but he is also one of the youngest men to be involved in a WrestleMania main event (The Undertaker vs. Edge). He was meant to be going straight to the top, but then Zack Ryder left for ECW, and he was left with nothing but substances to get him through, and he almost drifted through the cracks as a result. Hawkins could talk about how gifted and talented he is, going as far as to call himself "a prodigy," and how CM Punk stopped his self-destructive ways from getting in the way of his career.
I just can't think of any guys currently established who would fit a straight-edge faction without it being a step-down for their characters. Maybe The Hart Dynasty? But aren't they fine doing their own thing?

At the end of the day people view Festus as a jobber because when he was "hanging" with the Undertaker (aka losing to him) it was a long time ago, since then he's lost a lot, and not been on t.v. Have you seen what's happened to Jesse?
Bryan Danielson is a no name guy. They can build him all they like and I am down with him being there, but noone knows who the fuck he is.
You can't have a stable where it's Festus, Danielson and Curt Hawkins. Jesus. We already have legacy... how about a stable where guys aren't total lackies? Dibiase and Rhodes had their little run against DX but at the end of the day they're just souped up lackies.
It would be cool if someone who's of higher profile like William Regal or something joined the group. I know he has his little stable in ECW but he'd be awesome with Punk. Regal isn't mega over but the audience at least has the slightest fucking clue who he is lol.
Curt Hawkins? Really? lol. Damnit Noid.
