Punk's a huge maybe. The WWE would have to stick with him for a better part of a year, both to prepare him for the streak, breaking it and then holding on to the heat. Thing is, I don't see the WWE ever going for it. I dunno what they're going to do to make DiBiase face, but Orton's pretty much unsalvageable in that regard - so I guess anything would work. Would a Bruce Wayne-ish benevolent millionaire gimmick work? His father is the Million Dollar Man, after all. |
See... if Bruce Wayne wasn't batman... I think he'd be a heel. He's a rich guy who parties all the time and womanizes. I mean sure he donates to charity a lot... but in general he's the kind of person... espeically "some" wrestling fans would hate.
Maybe they don't put a face in it, and immediatly spin the legacy members off into different fueds shortly after... maybe transfering Dibiase to Smackdown.
Or maybe, he could be cut off from his trust fund or something for being a disapointment... have his dad come back on screen for a bit and "manage" the heel he decides is Ted Jr.'s replacement. Maybe give Batista something to do after Cena beats him. I mean, the other Dibiase brother is ready to come up, but that'd just degrade ted instead of build him up.
They could do promos where Million Dollar Man buys stuff for Batista or someone, while Ted Jr has to learn what it's like to not have money. They're eating at fine restruants while he's eating ramen... etc...
then eventually have Ted when a Ladder match in which he wins back his inherentece... then the benevolent millionaire thing might work since people would accept him more for having learned the value of a dollar etc.
