There is something that can save Punk's title run. His name is Shelton Benjamin. If Punk feuds with Henry or Big Daddy V, then your headed into a heaping load of fail. Well, Big Daddy V feud would be okay, but Shelton is a much more distinct possibility and a better one. I kind of think Shelton will win it, too.

It's a tossup for me. Orton seems to draw more apathy than hatred, and it just feels like he's just holding on to the belt until Cena gets back. Orton really needs a reason for the fans to hate him that doesn't involve long restholds. Perhaps give him some henchmen to do his bidding and help him keep the title. Or make him louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Something that makes people think more of "This guy is an arrogant jerk. Boo this man!" and not so much "This guy is boring as hell. Boo this man!"
Punk just hasn't had much opportunity to shine after the Morrison match. He's had virtually no offense in the BDV feud. He's on the opposite exterme of SuperCena, who probably would've got the STFU on both BDV and Henry at the same time. He needs that decisive win over Big Daddy V to take the next level and finally get some opponents like Shelton to put on a high quality with.

It can be argued that Punk's "lackluster" is due to him not having talent. fixed

I don't blame Punk for his bad reign. The ECW Title has always been treated as nothing- it's less prestigious than the US or IC Titles IMO. Being on the ECW Brand does nothing but keep you busy until there's a free slot on Raw or SD. Orton's held the #1 belt on the A-Show and been dull as hell IMO. Plus at least Punk's put on some good matches with Morrison.

Well, for being the second coming of Jesus, CM Punk has been quite a disappointment so far.
Sure, part of the blame goes to the creative and to the ECW roster, but the man himself hasn't ecactly made wonders to make things better.
