He's 30, and it's funny you mention that. I poached CM Punk from ROH and have him under an exclusive per-appearance contract right after Slammiversary. Steel was happy to see me negotiate that. In-game he is Punk's and Cobana's mentor. CM Punk will be a Midcarder but I'm not sure if I want him as a Heel or a Face yet.

Also had to let go of a few people on PPA. Trinity wasn't getting along with new girl Cheerleader Melissa, but I think as a long term choice Melissa is more vital, so I cut Trinity. Same thing happened between Raven and Jorge Estrada. Guess which one I gave the pink slip to.

I don't know if it was my best decision, but neither do I feel like it'll cost me much going forward. I went ahead and let both David Young and Glenn Gilbertti's contracts expire. I never really cared much for Disco Inferno and I couldn't think of a way to utilize him. He's not big or old enough to give anyone a real rub in 2003, but neither is he good enough to be Main Event worthy. In hindsight, Brian Lawler would have been in this exact position if WWE hadn't grabbed him. IRL, Gilbertti was doing weird shit with Russo around this time so I'd like to think I trimmed the fat here.
