"But WWE" is not now, nor has it ever been a good argument. You are just excusing anything that happens. What if somebody comes out and says Tony Khan raped them? Will you say it is ok, but Vince McMahon was accused or raping someone as well?
The truth is there are lots of people who hated Shawn and Vince at the time. The problem with that however is that in retrospect, they used it properly. Shawn was the top heel at that point mostly because of that whole situation with Bret, and Vince used it to become such an effective heel that he was able to eventually get both Shawn and Bret back as babyfaces. He put them both over at Wrestlemania.
All this Punk shit has nothing to build to. He doesn't even let people he dislikes on Collision, so he certainly isnt working with them. They all work on guaranteed contracts so they are getting paid no matter what, so what is the incentive? The boss clearly showed that he is not going to fire anybody for really any reason.
I think in their history they have publicly fired 2 people, Jimmy Havoc and whatever spanish announcer was doing an offensive Japanese impression. Other than that, he just puts them away for a bit.
