Speculate the Relationship: Vince & CM Punk

The losses he takes are irrelevant in the bigger picture. The loss to Kane at Backlash will be erased from history before the end of the month.

I agree that the manner in which he lost the world title was ridiculous, and being a CM Punk fan myself, I found it hard to swallow. However, my faith has been renewed by the fact he won another MITB match. The future is clearly, and consistently, bright for Punk. When he's not in the main tier, he's usually holding onto a secondary belt, and when he's on television he's usually wrestling, not in a skit or backstage segment.

It was an exaggeration for the purpose of my argument. But if there was a button to be pushed which instantly satisfied the desires of the collective IWC, CM Punk would have been pushed insanely and been made champion at least a dozen times over the last 3 years, by fanboys who love to curse and moan that nothing is being done with him.

We've become as fickle and as impatient as the average fan of reality television. Bitching that our favourite personality is getting a raw deal, and that he deserves to be the winner because we said so. When in fact, he's probably a bigger star than we all thought when the show started out. Which returns to my original conclusion that very few of us imagined that after several years, Punk would still be in the WWE, as a former world champion none-the-less, and not back in ROH with all the other indy wrestlers who didn't have the look or WWE-style.
