>>10768554Much better position in the long term. Hit in the short term with no united center Punk Debut, although signing Danielson and Cole as well as the first Arthur Ashe show would give them good momentum regardless of Punk.
No burial of the promotion at a press conference (obviously)
The time he leeched from every episode would be distributed amongst other top guys making them feel more important. Guys like Eddie Kingston would get more promo time. Hangman might have actually gotten to promo after winning the fucking world title.
The group of discontents including ex-wwe guys and shitters like Ricky Starks would have probably kept their heads down without Punk riling them up and providing a poor example.
