Someone summarize how entertaining each of his title reigns were, please.

His 2008 reign was barely 2 months long. They basically did the whole "MITB winner doesn't deserve to be champion" bit until he got hurt or something and they did the angle at Unforgiven where Orton took him out and he was forced to forfeit the title. (Jericho won it that night in a shocker by replacing Punk and winning the Championship Scramble match after having a brutal match with HBK earlier in the night).
His 2nd and 3rd reigns in 2009 were pretty damn awesome. He feuded with Jeff Hardy through the summer (dropping the title and then winning it back at SummerSlam). Punk then went on to feud with Undertaker for the title through the much of the fall and dropped the belt to Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match. CM Punk established himself as an amazing heel during this time. He never let off the gas since.
I think Punk's point was that he was busting his ass, entertaining the fuck out of everyone when he had the belt, but WWE kept going back to the Cenas,Takers,HHHs,Ortons,Batistas,etc. Hence the whole "voice of the voiceless" and "choice of a new generation" montras.
