DISCUSSION - CM Punk should become the leader of an nWo-sized stable that promotes..

After thinking about this a little more last night, I think I might agree (my thought process last night was that the greater the number of 'henchmen', the more prominent and significant that CM Punk would look). I also figured that a stable that was the size of nWo and the alliance, would subconsciously make the fans believe that Punk was as "big" as Hogan and Austin.

I then realized that if the stable was TOO big (i.e. nWo sized), then it would make any heel OUTSIDE a straight edge stable look almost "insignificant."

Therefore - I wouldn't mind seeing a stable like this be the size of Vince McMahon's Corporation/Corporate Ministry from back in the day.

It would still be large in number (to the point where it could make Punk would look prominent like Triple H, Vince, and Taker did when they lead those stables), but it also wouldn't completely "engulf" the WWE like the nWo did with WCW.

Ultimately - I LOVE this idea for 2 simple reasons:

• It helps establish CM Punk as THE #1 guy in the company.
• Anyone that has a crappy gimmick or isn't doing much (i.e. Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Carlitto), can just join this 'Straight Edge' stable and can be made "relevant by association" (i.e. just like Mideon sort of was during the Corporate Ministry days).

Personally if it was me, I would consider REALLY building up Punk's stable between now and Mania. It was almost look like 'Agent Smith' in Matrix 2 and 3 when he was cloning himself. At Wrestlemania, have CM Punk win MITB match....by actually having 1 or even 2 contestants within the match itself help Punk (surprise turn).

After the main-event (i.e. Triple H defeating Shawn Michaels), have Punk's music hit. All of Punk's followers come out, dressed in business suits and shades (i.e. lining up similar to how Undertaker's 'druids' are when Undertaker comes out), and then watch as CM Punk comes out to cash in on his MITB right THEN AND THERE. Punk then wins the match.

It's a nutty and farfetched idea but if the WWE ever needed a jolt in the ass, this would be it.

The fans could REALLY see this stable being drastically built up between now and Mania where it would ultimately culminate in the main-event.
