Not really, from what's been said he does it regularly to talent if he yells at them which is why he has the reputation as more a fatherly figure than a boss. It's the fans that believe the "Mr McMahon" character is real. Basically the version of Vince you see on "Young Rock" (ultra supportive, sees the roster as his family) is the side of him that fans don't see and what he doesn't want them to see.

lol Vince was right 😂

[@danielsoto6963]

Fired? I thought he walked away. Punk always says that he left because he didn't want to work with HHH.

[@mjoker4178]

He left and wwe fired him for that after few days

[@thebrokenglasskids5196]

@@mjoker4178 It was months, not days.

He walked out but he was still under contract. _Technically_ still employed, just absent W/O leave. And considering all the untreated illnesses and injuries wwe gave him, I don't blame him.

[@MonkeiKing]

​@@PilloTheStar untreated because punk never sought treatment for them he claimed on a podcast a dr told him hes surprised hes not dead punk then admitted on the stand that he never actually went to a doctor about it. Punk has basically admitted that he was angry and taking shit to the extreme a drs receptionist said it might be staph punk claimed a doctor told him he had mrsa he admitted it himself.

Thank you everybody for responding

I like it, that was cool of Vince to apologize and, they should give CM Punk a 2nd chance.

[@SWyrick366]

Vince didn't truly mean this, if he did, he would've reached out personally after giving him time to get well, but no, he texts him one fucking week after Punk was trying to get better and asks him if he can come back to work, yeah, boss of the year award right there.
