Kozlov, Masters, and Smith To Join CM Punk?

[Cult of Personality]

So I was looking through the comments on Masters release and someone said that maybe Kozlov, Masters, and Smith may join CM Punk as a part of a "Voice for the Voiceless" type stable. It intrigues me so I want your guys opinions...

1. What was your reaction when Punk mentioned Kozlov, Masters, and Smith On Raw?

2. Could this lead to a match at Survivor Series? (Punk Gang vs. WWE's group?)

I personality couldn't see Punk in a stable with him because I think it would kill his momentum unless the WWE assembled a Stable also. That would be an interesting concept at Survivor Series. If Punk with his Face Team battled lets say HHH and his Heel Team would be very intriguing. Let me know what you think about this.

That's an even shittier group than Nexus was. If he couldn't pull those guys up from hell, I doubt he could with these guys.

People are always looking for a swerve whether it makes sense or not. Sure it kind of makes sense with him mentioning them on Raw last night and shit but other than that, what reason do any of these guys have to be alongside Punk? Kozlov is a joke, Masters hasn't meant anything since 06, and Smith never has. Awful idea.

Besides, we need a long break from factions. It's becoming quite clear that nobody knows how to book them anymore.

 

[Derf]

Dude, absolutly not. Horrible thread idea, no offence. These three guys were legit released. The most they'll have to do with CM Punk is the reference made by him last night, which has nothing to do with the guys themselves, but was more directed at John Laurenitis (however it'ss spelled).

 

[Rising Savior]

No offense dude but this is a stupid fucking thread. Hey yeah lets align the hottest guy in professional wrestling right now with a bunch of fucking jobbers? Get real. Did you see Punk form a stable when he mentioned Cabana, Heyman, and Lesnar? No this ain't happening.

2. Do You like the edgier Promos on Raw by Punk? Do you like that WWE gives Punk the freedom to talk about Past WWE Superstars?B]

I really don't want to sound like a jerk, but I really don't see this happening. Let me state for the record however, I'm a huge D.H Smith fan and would have loved for this to be the case. With that being said tho there's no way that this is just some story line they are trying to use. Smith apparently is already talking to Strikeforce about fighting for them, and Masters is heavily implying that he want's to go to Impact Wrestling.

The Punk promo was amazing like his last couple of ones, but that's just his character now. Take for a couple of weeks ago when he mentioned Luke Gallows. Of course Colt Cabana got a dark match, but so far Luke has got nothing other then a cheap pop when Punk mentioned him. As he has previously stated Punk now believes this time as the 'Reality era' meaning that to get his new character over they're going to have him mention stuff that people normally wouldn't.

So as much as I would love too see Smith and Masters finally get a push again I just don't see it happening. Now I can see guy's like Colt Cabana or even the Kings of Wrestling coming in and forming a stable with Punk once they sign their contracts, but until then I think what they really need too do is keep Punk out of a faction for right now. He's really been in too many of them and needs to just be on his own for the time being.

You. Are. Fired. Please refrain from making such ridiculous threads....seriously
Punk is just mentioning anyone right now to go along with his "voice of the voiceless" nonsense...

Who would that group go up against? Cena, Jimmy Wang Yang, Funaki, and Taka?

Oh yes then it could be... CM Punk and Schmucks vs. John Cena and the Wang Tang Clan.....

 

[trashboy]

He just mentioned those guys to make the "promo" feel "real." That's all there is to it.. and a stable with them would terrible no matter who would lead them

 

[The_Grimace]

I thought about that idea for like 5 seconds when I realized that the WWE needs no more stables. But to have them and luke gallows with colt all together for a survivor series match vs the corporation led by HHH. Who would be on his side I don't know atm, btw I just realized this I use my phone to post cause no internet and my "h" key in also my 6 key so HHH is 666 lmao.

 

[The Brain]

yeah i realized that it wasn't the best idea to post this thread.

But If anybody was to take over a group of nobodies it would be Punk.

Sure he could take over a group of nobodies but could he make it work? He's 0-2 so far. Wade Barrett made Nexus a force. CM Punk took over and the group sunk so fast it was ridiculous. When is the last time you saw Mason Ryan? SES was fun for short time but where are those members today? I don't see your group idea being any better at all. By the way, I hate to point out the obvious, but those guys were fired. I'd say that's more than reason enough to think this won't happen.

 

[Inittowinit]

The whole point was to keep his edge. Most people in WWE refer to the released as out of sight out of mind so his promo and even Beth's to an extent were keeping it reality based more.

 

[bigbootydaddyV]

no one really seemed to answer your first question my first reaction was mixed.. at first I wasn't TOO surprised since Punk has been name dropping left and right, but then I thought about it and was kind of shocked that he would mention the names of guys who were just legit fired and using them in a storyline. Had it been a 100% real shoot and he was just pissed at johnny boy for firing some good ppl then I'd be ok, but this is just to kind of get his character over and I personally think he crossed a line. I did find it interesting that he didn't mention Melina.

As for the edgier punk promos name dropping, I do like them, I just felt this one was kind of tasteless. Unless of course like i said if it was just 100% real, but last article i read said the case is still that NOTHING goes on the air w/o vince's ok.

Finally, I can't see the recently released coming back and joining a punk stable. For one, their names didn't get a huge pop and I think will be soon forgotten. It would have been nice for that one mention to help get them over enough to be brought back, but let's be honest, it more than likely was not. Also, it seems like once guys are future endeavored they are gone, some get brought back eventually, but most do not. I always read a future endeavor and just hope it is part of some storyline (like DB) but it never is, the future endeavor is part of the business of a publicly traded company and announcements like that will never be used to further a storyline. Besides, end of the day, I don't want to see Punk in a stable unless it is a stable of similarly talented guys. A stable with DB and people like them (can't think of any off the top of my head) would be great, but SES and Nexus just didn't gel well with him bc they were so far from his level. Punk right now needs to go it alone and he has been doing a good job of it so far.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

i almost didnt even view this thread as its pure stupidity but sense i did i mine as well respond...no no no no this is 1 of the worst stable ideas i heard in a long time! harry smith is heading to japan i belive besides the fact all 3 guys were legit fired last friday and if they were brought back for a stable with punk it would be pretty stupid and ruin punks gimmick besides the fact the 3 of them were total jobbers and worthless punk couldnt make the new nexus good he wouldnt be able to save these guys either

 

[ejc8710]

To be honest stables are a big fail now days most of them last 8 months at the most Nexus was a really stupid idea and thank god its gone. Sraight edge society was alright but we knew it wasnt gonna last long stables where the shit back in the 90s but now they just fail miserably plus im done with seeing punk in stables

 

[UFOcalling]

I don't really understand why everyone's saying "this is the stupidest idea for a thread" (or something to that effect). It's perfectly fine fodder for discussion, and the OP is obviously new to these forums. Not a bad topic/thread for such a new member here.

I was surprised to hear Punk mention these guys on Raw. I thought it was a great way to get Punk a little more "over", and this was a fantastic way for him to further his "voice of the voiceless" gimmick (which is great). The dirt-sheets are all talking about these guys (at least this week), and it's not like the releases weren't "common knowledge" (at least among the IWC). Hell, Chris Masters has been all over twitter talking about his next move. I feel this was a great way to get the "smart fans" ("smarks"?) behind Punk.

I seriously doubt that these guys are coming back to WWE. Personally, I believe they were legitimately fired. I don't think they'll be returning to the WWE at all, but certainly not in the near-future (especially just to form a stable with Punk as their leader). We've heard Punk mention Luke Gallows on TV since his release as well, but it's not like he's made a return either.

Even if (by some crazy stretch of the imagination) these guys did return to WWE TV, putting them in a stable with Punk wouldn't do much for either them or Punk (at least in my mind). The ones who were fired (DH Smith, Kozlov & Masters) were fired because they were "dead-weight", not to further Punk's angle. I think that if any of these guys ever do work for the WWE again, they'd be delegated to working exclusively on Superstars.

Punk just used this as ammunition because it's a hot-topic right now on the internet. I seriously doubt we'll ever hear those names mentioned on WWE television again. I believe that those names were used as a one-time thing, just to get Punk's new character over. Punk's definitely got his finger on the pulse of the "voiceless" members of the WWE Universe right now, and mentioning those names on Raw further cemented that.

 

[PWrath]

1. My reaction to CM Punk using the dearly released Superstars' names: It just made me tune in all the way to what he was about to say about those guys getting fired and how he said it to "Funk Man". If this wasn't part of creative, a guy would have gotten fired the next day after having the mic legitamitely cut off.

2. Will these guys be brought back to form a stable with CM Punk? Absolutely not, I wont belabor what has already been said above. I do agree that Punk's time as a leader of stables is long in the past and have served their purposes to getting Punk's character over to the point it is in right now.

 

[AngryCenaFan]

Punk needs to be FREE and alone. He's shining as a singles STAR, his promos are hitting home because they are based on reality and we're all talking about them. hes keeping RAW watchable.

 

[Corpse_Machine]

Really? Really? Really? Really?

Im all for the WWE re-hiring Chris Masters but as for the other two, Now i understand why they let Kozlov go as i did watch NXT last week and seen that stupid "Gangsta" gimmick and it was horendous he should have been gone as soon as his teaming with Santino was over.
And as for DH Smith, well when did we last see him on TV? In my opinion his number should have been up a long long time ago when the Hart Dynasty parted.

They should bring back Masters cos that guy has some ability and hes a big guy to boot, even if they threw him in the fuckin Nexus to take up the Bodyguard position, imagine if he was runnin around putting folks in a masterlock and letting the rest of the Nexus get the beat down. Unless the rules of the Nexus state that you gotta come from developmental/NXT.

Oh shit and i forgot that it would absolutely annihilate Punks momentum.

 

[jackson-lowe]

It would quite honestly help CM Punks gimmick, being the voice of the voiceless. But these guys are so different and I cant't really see it happening. Actually, Smith and Masters joining would be pretty cool, 3rd generation superstar and a 'work of art'.
I can't really see it happening but it would seem pretty real if they came back 'from the voice Punk' when they were pretty officially released. Would help launch the era that Punk is aiming for

 

[mdj2010]

Why would they ever do that with Punk? They just pulled him out of Nexus and are clearly making no mention of his dissapearance as the head of the group. I don;t think they are about to stick him in a flimsily constructed stable who consist of arguably worse performers.
Punk is the voice of the voiceless, that is us, the IWC and older male demographic. the voiceless doesn't comprise of wrestlers who were proving problematic for creative.

1. What was your reaction when Punk mentioned Kozlov, Masters, and Smith On Raw?

I don't think it had anything to do with assembling a legion of the lost and placing them under Punk's control. Rather, Punk's statement was written for him so he could further his campaign of "saying the un-sayable." I can't ever recall hearing performers mentioning the names of future endeavored guys, at least not so soon after their departure.

As for the three people named, it would be kind of pathetic to see them fall under Punk's wing because they had all forged identities of their own based on their experiences in the ring over the years. The original members of Nexus and the Straight Edge Society had no recognized personalities yet because they were brand new to WWE. With newcomers, we could see them as being led by Punk, not subjugated. Character-wise, it would be a slap in the face to Smith, Koslov and Masters to have to follow a leader at this point in their careers.

Then again, I could be totally wrong. If it meant having a job as opposed to not, each guy might be delighted to fall in line behind the Voice of the Voiceless.

 

[mrbb11000]

That actually could be a great match for Survior Series. CM Punk would be mad at that Town Guest Relations dude and Triple H so they would let all the relesed dudes to come back and maybe if they win they get to renew their contrat or somthing like that

 

[shaunseven]

i doubt very much that these guys will be brought back to be in a faction with punk. i think if punk gets shuffled back into a stable of any sort, it should be with daniel bryan, evan bourne, colt cabana, and maybe seth rollins (fcw)

this is just as unlikely to happen as harry smith and the other guys, but i'd like to see those guys in an "honor society"

 

[I_Am_Electro_Boy]

I can't see this happening and I hope this doesn't happen. Didn't Punk mention Batista, Jericho and Lesnar the Raw before last? Does that mean they're going to apart of Punk's "new stable"? No. Punk says their names because he's showing even more times WWE have dropped the ball with talent this will get him over even more as a face and goes with what Punk is currently saying. I don't want this to happen because Punk is doing great as a singles wrestler and I don't want to see another stable bring him down. At the end of the day Punk deserves to be a top talent like Orton and Cena and being in a stable will not help him to be at the top. So no I don't want to see Punk in a stable.

 

[Jabroni Drive]

No simply because punk needs to continue what hes doing just now to show he is a legit singles competitor. Furthermore wwe cant afford to put him in another stable because his gimmick is what people want to see at the moment.

 

[Notorious718]

Simply put, no. Pairing those three with Punk will only drag him down the card, in my opinion. On top of that, I'm tired of seeing Punk being the leader of a stable of nobodies. While on paper, the idea could help elevate those three, history tells us that Punk's track record of leading stables and having them ultimately become successes isn't that great. Nah, I'm done seeing Punk with a group. I much prefer seeing him strike out on his own and he's so far doing a great job now that he's broken away from the drowned ship that was the Nexus.
