People have been pissing and moaning for most of CM Punk's tenure about how he wasn't being given the opportunity to participate in higher profile feuds and rightfully so (I truly believe he was under appreciated/misunderstood by Vince for awhile). Now he main events a pay per view called "Night of Champions" without an actual title at stake and is involved in a storyline that has taken precedent over SuperCena and the Heavyweight Championships, but people are still complaining.
At this same pay per view last year, Punk jobbed to Big Slow and his shitty KO punch in Chicago. I thought they dropped the ball on him then, but they've managed to build him up to this point and given him an opportunity to cut unconventional promos and say things about the company/executives/other wrestlers that no one else on the roster outside of Cena and Rock would be allowed to say.
It was almost 2 years after "Austin 3:16" that Stone Cold actually won the WWF Championship and he turned out O.K. It's only been 4 months since CM Punk cut his "worked shoot" that had so many people jumping on his nuts he needed Bella Powder for the chafing.
Let's give this storyline and Punk's direction time to fully develop and be fleshed out before we start saying they've dropped the ball. Especially with Miz/R-Truth getting involved and Vince's pending return.
