Benoit wins the world title and because it's not a decades old belt (though I do consider it part of the WCW title lineage) his victory over Triple H is meaningless? Christ.
Arguing over the legitimacy of a title in a sport where champions are literally pre-determined is rather senseless. So Bischoff gave HHH the title, big deal, it was a perfectly acceptable act from one heel to another, and afterwards it has been defended and covetted, thereby raising it's prestige.
I have to wonder, do we apply the same standard for the TNA world title as we apparently to for Raw, because I sure as fuck don't view it as the same belt held by Harley Race, Ric Flair and all the other NWA greats.
