There has been a push in creative of late to give CM Punk a bodyguard. The original pitch was to put Ezekiel Jackson in the role since he did so well with Brian Kendrick, but WWE would like him to develop more and feel ECW is a better place for him. The latest idea tossed around was to put Festus in the role with the idea that Punk either "got him off his medication" or would be controlling him by "feeding him pills" to enhance Punk's heel straightedge role. That's why Festus has been off TV in recent weeks. -PWInsider
Think I'll have a wank over these tomorrow.
A straight edge festus is hilarious :lol I wouldn't mind him having a protege of sorts, like jericho had in Cade and kendrick had in Zeke. Festus can work. I don't see a problem with this, not facepalm worthy in the slightest.

Punk doesn't need a bodyguard. Punk is supposed to be a unique heel, using him like Edge, Chavo, Kendrick makes him look weak and destroys his credibility as a loner. Not to mention, hypocritical Punk kills all of his Straightedge persona.
I was not a fan of that pathetic screwjob.
Undertaker got Punk'd. Montreal Screwjob 2.0. :lol
I need a new TV after throwing my soda after that crap.
If you want to make Punk look like a real threat and make him look stronger, how about putting together a Straightedge Stable with some good talent that can sell over the "I'm a a Straightedge believer" and make Punk look like a mentor.
Punk is a LONER. He's always been that way and he should stay that way as a heel, I don't understand WWE's logic when it comes to heels now. Why is it every top heel needs some sort of bodyguard? It doesn't work that way.

But isn't someone blindly following Punk as some sort of cult believer almost the same thing as having someone drugged?
Someone believing that his way is right is a lot more PG than someone drugging someone to do what they say, thats something WWE needs to look at.
Punk speaks the Truth in his promos. What sense would come out of him giving Festus pills?It's unlogical.
