While lots worse did happen under Vince, I also think it kind of makes sense because Vince did create the company. Vince might have been a mad man, but for the most part he kept things under control even if his ego led him to screw with people. He created the company, led it through lawsuits and deaths and the Monday Night Wars and everything else. Vince was all they knew and even if people acted up, Vince always ruled with an iron fist and wouldn't let anyone (except other McMahons) undermine him. All those guys, whether they liked him or not, owed some sort of loyalty to Vince just for hiring them or at the very least giving them a WWE to work in.
Then there's Triple H, who's pissed off or screwed over pretty much everyone at one time or another, has no leadership experience, has some conspiracy effecting his ability to run the show, and let things spiral completely out of control in his first 3 months in charge. The locker room has no reason to believe he can do this job properly based on the past 3 months, so why vote confidence in him? Lawler's argument was rational, even if they don't think it's Triple H's fault entirely, it is happening because he's in charge.
I still like this angle, it's got a lot going on. Triple H might be at the center of it, but Punk's been spotlighted through out it. Miz and Truth caused a lot of this. The midcard heels are getting pushed as a big factor in this. It's doing something for everyone.
This could also be the catalyst for the eventual Triple H turn that I still think is coming. In a week or two when this is all sorted out one way or another, Triple H isn't the kind of guy to just forget that his roster did this even after all he did was try to do the best job possible while undermined at every turn. All he needs to do is say everyone turned his back on them while he was doing his best for the roster and the fans. He tried to be the good boss, and look where it got him, maybe the only way to do this job is to be like Vince and rule like a power mad despot.
