I wasn't sure at first, but Punk vs Vince ended up being the perfect catalyst for all this. Vince only turned the tables when Punk got cocky and talked shit with Vince on his shoulders forever. Vince then went batshit, but ability/heelish intelligence overcame heart and toughness until the next big thing came to make the save.
I'm sure St. Jimmy and others will bitch about Punk being made to look weak or whatever, but Vince McMahon has a special place in the wrestling fan psyche, so it worked. Punk looks like his arrogance/confidence/ego/ruthlessness/viciousness/etc. has reached "critical mass" and here we are at the tipping point before a PPV and they have built in storylines that this could go after said PPV.
