I know a lot of people are going to disagree with what I'm about to say, but I'll say it anyway. If this is a boxing match, I score the first round in favor of Vince McMahon.
CM Punk ranted and raved and aired all of his grievances, burned the bridge then pissed on the ashes. Vince McMahon responds by saying he hopes to someday work with Punk in the future. Like I said earlier, given all that's been thrown at the WWE since last week, the grace that McMahon showed there was overwhelmingly impressive.

All due respect to the people throwing out names like AJ, Batista, Kofi, etc as somebody who could have facilitated communication between The Company & Punk....but, I'm sorry, not a single one of them (let alone all of them combined) could politic (in a good way) and rebuild burnt bridges like Jim Ross could. So, SCSAS was totally right.
AND MY GOD VINCE JUST REFERED TO TAKER BY HIS GOVERNMENT NAME ON A LIVE BROADCAST!?
WE ARE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, PEOPLE!

I still don't fault them at all for having Taker lose to Lesnar.
I majorly fault them for every moment of Brock Lesnar post Summerslam evening.

There isn't a guy, but there isn't anyone on the roster that could communicate with Punk. Someone really close to Punk that's still prominent in the company? I didn't even *think* of that. How the hell did AJ go in to work the next day and *not* rip half of Titan Towers apart for firing her husband *on their wedding day*? I mean, seriously, my biggest contributions to my own wedding consisted of saying "Yes, dear", "signing checks," and "making sure that any bad news didn't reach my bride-to-be." If she'd have found out her husband was both unemployed *and owed hundreds of thousands of dollars* it would have been the biggest blow-up in my city's history. And I lived in *HIROSHIMA*. You mean she should also throw out her job and what she loves to do? Especially considering she wasn't with the damn company at the time

Vince McMahon handled it with grace and class. He admitted there's no point in publicly airing dirty laundry, he emphasized his hope to work with CM Punk again in the future, and didn't confirm or deny any of Punk's allegations if he ever does try to bring the WWE to court for some sort of malpractice lawsuit. Whoever in WWE's PR department that coached him up there deserves a raise and then some. But if that was Vince on the fly? The man is smarter than we give him credit for. After that whole steroid thing I think it might just be Vince. He's learned. Vince once talked police investigators into walking away from a murder case. He knows what to say and when to say it.

Vince seems like he can't figure how to answer anything about Brock without spoiling six months of storylines.
I'm surprised how he would throw out that the belt doesn't really matter.

Vince just said babyface. As interesting as this is, the last part of that kid in me who wants to believe in kayfabe is dying.
