I definitely think Punk could have been booked better over his run, but I can't say he was handled horribly overall. I
'd have a very hard time saying a guy who had over a 1 year reign with the title was handled that badly.

This ended after 15 minutes with the match barely haven gotten going, is there another part I'm missing?

That hung over the entire match and when Punk actually got to leave with the title, that was a huge moment. The surprise coloured a lot of people's opinions of the match.

I don't think that should be held against the match and it isn't the only match in the tournament guilty of this. For example, as good of a match as Hart/Austin is or may have been, it gets a huge boost because of how well done the ending was.
It was a fantastic match made even better by the flawless ending and the uncertainty surrounding it. We're not dealing with Undertaker/Lesnar here, which was a below average performance enhanced solely by its ending and its ramifications.
