The idea sounds cheesy and cliche at first, but with Festus I think it could work with Michael Hayes and CM Punk's input. They just need to make sure they don't make Punk a hypocrite himself. If he's using pills to control Festus, then they'll need to try and make it as scientific as possible, and have Punk do it to "prove a point."
"You're all slave to your medication, just like Festus. Why aren't you cheering him? He's just like all of you now." But that makes Festus really sympathetic. It's not like he'd be a heel under his own choice. Granted, that makes a face turn easier, but it'd just be messy. Unless Festus then decided under his own will power to take the pills, or whatever. The scenario where he takes him off the pills works. It "saves" Festus, which is more to Punk's natural character, and it allows Festus to actively become a heel and basically support Punk's cause. This is also good for Slam Master J. If they acknowledge his past with Festus, then he can step up as a character, and feud with Festus, and maybe even have a few matches with CM Punk. I'm not saying Jesse Gordy should be the World Heavyweight Champion, or anything, but the fans might get behind him after a somewhat competitive showing with CM Punk, where he is fighting for his friend's honour. Although, does that make Jesse pro-pills? That's where you have to be careful. I still like the idea of Kaval (Low Ki) being brought in as a bodyguard for Punk. He wouldn't be the tradition big man guard, but I don't think Punk fits traditional. He's the first CM Punk, and not the next Shawn Michaels. Kaval being brought in as a martial arts master and long-time friend of Punk's -- who has the discipline to avoid poisoning his body -- could really work. Kaval's got the sort of kicks that could make him believable as a hired gun for Punk. Punk as World Heavyweight Champion while Kaval serves as Intercontinental Champion could be really cool. Hell, they could even have a brief reign as Unified WWE Tag Team Champions and really get their heat going. Punk with three belts would get the fans really pissed off. Maybe even throw in Curt Hawkins to their little posse as a follower of Punk's. A sheep to Punk's shepperd. There are better uses for Hawkins, though. But Punk is also fine solo. He does have such good heat at the moment that he could really help develop either a young or new talent, though. |
