C.M. Punk is proof that WWE is not completely retarded.

That's not what people were doing, though. It doesn't matter to me that Chris Jericho did not beat JBL at the Royal Rumble, for example. What worried me about CM Punk being misused in ECW, was when he lost the undefeated streak (which they were hammering home) to Hardcore Holly of all people. Most agreed that the streak could have been used to really set up an interesting feud between Punk and someone, as well as giving another young guy the rub.

CM Punk did not need to win every single match in 2006, but he should have beaten Hardcore Holly. He also should have eliminated Hardcore Holly in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, rather than the reverse happening.

You can lift what you said about the EC being badly booked, and pretty much place it to anything that happened with CM Punk between Survivor Series '06 and Money in the Bank the next year.
