Vince McMahon vs. CM Punk Ends in No Contest

What I Liked:

CM Punk cowardly attacked Vince before he got into the ring. I loved it, and thought that this would give Punk a much needed heat from the crowd. People still love to cheer and boo him, so this was a way for him to not get a pop when his music hit. The match was not really a match, but a fight. Vince was able to get some shots in on Punk, including throwing him into the post. He would actually take Punk and throw him on the table, and then dive on top of him. It will never be pretty, but Vince knows what to do to make it look good. There is not a boss in the world that would do something like this. Punk would ultimately get the advantage, by connecting with a low blow onto the Chairman. Ryback's music hit, and Punk escaped. Cena came out and threw him into a Ryback clothesline. This looked great, and the crowd exploded for Ryback. Lastly, Punk escapes Ryback's Shell Shocked, and Vince says he has to pick between fighting Cena or Ryback, or Vince will decide himself. This was dramatic on many levels, felt real, and gave Punk options. He has begun to piss off more than one person, but the fact remains it is still about Cena and Punk. Ryback gets the great rub, as well as Vince selling it, and it is a win win for everyone.
