>>6898802Hobbes will have gained a lot from that match, so getting to work with Punk (a seasoned vet) is one of those moments that wrestlers often say working with those big names makes something click even after just one match. The Wardlow and MJF feud unironically pushed MJF from "Haha good heel" to must watch, and Wardlow got his name there too, and Punk working with Kingston as the Player's Tribune article was doing the rounds was great for him too. So yeah, that's pretty decent. At the end of the day Punk is an attraction now, you want him to spend the early parts of his contract being his own thing and then later focus more on up and comers. Don't spite the present for the future.
