It's kind of funny to me that the reason behind both Punk and The Shield's (future) heel run are not even that wrong. The way they've gone about it (kayfabe), has been, but not their initial basis for doing what they have done.
Punk's started because of his frustration with not being the focus/main eventer as champion (valid reason)
The Shield's motto (shield for injustice) is because they want the E to be fair to champions and not make decisions dictated by what the fans want, but rather who deserves it - similar to the NBA ASG fan voting dilemma (also a valid reason.)
So why should we hate either, technically?

How long before people go "

they're right!" and start cheering these dudes.
