Right now I don't even think it's possible to have a good ECW title reign.
Regardless of who you are. They're not giving it any attention or build up worth watching. I rarely even watch ECW anymore, and I'm one of those people that'll watch any wrestling if it's on.

Punk's reign being crap has nothing to do with Punk's ability.
Punk is stuck on the C show holding an after thought title that is basically the equivalent to the tag titles.

^Agreed, as I like Punk but his title run thus far has been crap. I doubt it's his fault Lagana's like "OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE WANT TO SEE PUNK VS. BIG DADDY V" and then defecate all over a championship tournament.

Lex Luger is the longest reigning United States champion of all time? Really? By a freaking landslide, too.

'I'm sick of the same champ all the time'(Directed to Cena) 'He's great'(Directed to Punk who's.. really been in no storylines) Yep, that's exactly what I said.

ECW title carries more weight than the IC and US title for the simple reason the belt has a one hour show built around it every tuesday night.Punks reign not being stong is a WWE issue, what WWE champs have been booked strong recently? Orton was getting superkicked every week for 2 months and needed JBL to beat Jericho, Batista needed 10 rematches to get a title, Edge has never had a clean title win.

I liked the idea, but I don't think it should've been Big Daddy V, probably Morrison, but then we've seen that match a billion times already.

Not bad for a guy who was just holding the belt until Morrison came back...

i suppose i can't complain about his run as champ. he hasn't put on bad matches, or been in bad storylines, but he's hardly set the world on fire either. his feud with elijah should've lasted longer. i was enjoying their GAB opener before it was cut short, and their 2006 feud was great. so far though, his title run has been fairly disapointing.

I'm a Punk fan and all but the title reign is boring as hell. One thing for me is I just don't like face punk. To be it reminds me of The Rock when they tried having him be the blue chipper and smiling every week and it just didn't work until they let him be himself and act a little more heel. When I look at Punk I just more see a heel then a face. Of course if they had more people to actually face him that the 5 other members of ECW it would help a lot too.

Length is by no means a measure of quality. Big Show, Lashley and Punk are all up there in length, but I wouldn't put them anywhere near guys like Sandman and Raven in terms of how good their title reigns have been. Show's reign was GREAT.

Hell I would've liked it to have been Dreamer, just for nostalgia sake. Would've been a lot better than that 5 minute abortion of a match Punk and BDV had.

Somehow, I think this company's more committed to ECW's champion for the long term then they are ECW.
That can be either refreshing or scary to you. I vote "scary".

I can't help but feel like Punk's uninspired reign as ECW Champion is nothing more than a big "F U" to us smarks from Vince and Hunter. They both know how much us smarks love Punk and I feel they book him in these matches against lesser ROH-type or TNA-type talents, so that WW-MonopoliE fans think he's second rate.

ECW is just an Extension off Smackdown now, I hate this Talent Transfer Crap.
But i suppose there's only so much you can do with a 12 Wrestler Roster i suppose,
I think Punk's doing a fair enough job.

Punk gets beat up by midcard talent. Awesome had epic battles vs Masato Tanaka. The problem here is one was booked perfectly, the other only gets over because of the fans. If Paul E booked ECW, the world would be a better place, and Punk could be mentioned in the same breath as Awesome.

punk doesnt even feel like he's the focus or center of ECW. morrison, miz, BDV, all of them seem to get more atteention than punk. pretty sure we've seen more BDV or morrison promos than promos or mic time from the actaul ECW champion.
