Hero and Punk not only feuded a lot, but Punk's said in the past that he's one of his best friends. While I don't doubt Punk suggested that KOW be hired, both Chris and Claudio are perfect for WWE right now. Come on WWE, reunite these guys!

My issue with it is that if someone has success on the indies, it's like they're indy forever, and should be jammed into a stable together. I've heard it suggested that Punk should be joined by KoW, Cabana, and Bourne. Honestly, it's like the new "Let's have all the black guys go start a New Nation". Heh. I wouldn't say lumping people together by their success in the indies is the same as lumping people together based on the color of their skin. Anyway, I expect that people were hoping for a greater chance of success for Cabana and KoW because the news about them seemed to break right about the time Punk's story was getting big and Punk was mentioning Cabana and RoH on the air. They may have perceived a little more on-air legitimacy being given to that background (additionally, due to the seriousness with which the company has been treating DBD's abilities) than previously, when it didn't seem to be mentioned or acknowledged on the air very often.

Regarding the "indy guys can't draw" arguments.
I think that a lot of is that when someone doesn't like a wrestler, they'll find any excuse to legitimize that view (though not liking someone is reason enough if you ask me) so they'll grasp at straws and use the completely illogical excuse of "Well he was a huge hit on the indies, in Europe and in Japan, so obviously he can't draw in WWE." Which makes absolutely no sense, but that doesn't stop people from saying it.

Not particularly sure that was Karl Anderson on RAW - he's just flown back from the G1 Climax, and I think he'd have major jetlag.
