If I was starting a company KO would be high on my list of start up talent. Very high.
He has charisma and can promo. But most importantly he fits a niche that only a couple talents per generation seem to fit: The big guy that can GO more like a cruiser/light heavyweight. He's like Bam Bam Bigelow. He's an almost unique talent that I would find very very hard to pass up.
There are a lot of guys like Punk, and while he used to stand out more for his differences, now he won't. There are other people who work his style a lot better than he does, and that's even assuming he can still go like he used to. I have no doubt he will still be great on the stick tho and that counts for a lot.
I'd honestly take both of them in a start up company. Punks hype train would immediately make him more over, but hypothetically lets say they were both coming in with the same level of hype between the 2 of them. If that was the case and all things considered equal I would have KO as a main event scene regular (not the tip top level guys, but always in the picture) and probably have Punk in the upper midcard, occasionally working a main event program.
