How to play The Game (CM Punk's return)

We are one week removed from CM Punk walking out on WWE.  I could write about my opinion on this but lets face it, it would be one more to add to the millions of opinions and theories that have already been expressed over the last few days. What I want to focus on is the apparent issues that this situation has revealed regarding Triple H as an executive.

I understand that I am working off the rumour mill here but that is the job of pretty much every writer in wrestling.  What seems to apparent from the Punk situation however is that Triple H feels disrespected and this could hinder the eventual return of the "Best in the World".  The thing is as a promoter, Triple H now has to put any issues of pride to the side... for good.

From what is being said Vince McMahon is very keen to get CM Punk back as soon as possible.  This is because Vince know what is (ironically) best for business.  And that is how Vince as always worked.  There is no doubt he has had personal issues with Superstars in the past but if McMahon let pride get in the way, we may have never seen the return of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan or even Shawn Michaels after their issues with the management.  Vince brought them back into the fold because he knew it would get the interest that the company needed and create the revenue which in the end is what it's all about for the management.

The Game seems to be the of the opposite mind set and seems reluctant to push for a CM Punk return.  Triple H needs to realise that this isn't the mafia.  There is really no such thing as disrespecting the boss in the wrestling world.  Throughout the decades promoters have always been "shat on" but they get over it and if a wrestler is going to make them money then they put their personal feelings aside and book the damn wrestler.

I'm not saying this is how Triple H always does business but it's a dangerous president to set when one of your biggest talents walks out and you shut the door for a return just because you feel disrespected.  The door should always be open for a wrestler to return because WWE is a business and you can't pay the bills with respect.
