At the time, it was pretty unheard of for a guy like Shawn to win the belt. Since him, guys like Eddie, Jericho, and Rey have won the title but he was pretty small to be world champion. He was a pioneer.
Before Shawn, Bret and Savage were probably the smallest WWF champs and they weren't very small.

Point being, Vince putting the belt on Shawn was genius and Watts sounds like a joke. He may have had good points, but I think taking creative control away from him was a wise decision.
