Technically, Benoit never officially held the WCW Title. He won it from Sid at Sin '00 just before he jumped ship, but the next night they reversed the decision.
Anyways, I really really REALLY don't want to see Benoit vs Triple H. First off, I'd hate to sound like a typical overly-cynical internet smark, but HHH would never put over Benoit at Mania. Think about it: it's the single biggest wrestling event ever (or so they hope), and you're wrestling the main event of the show. Would you want to be remembered as the guy who lost on the biggest stage of them all? Of course not. HHH wouldn't put over Booker T last year, so there's no way in hell he's going to put over Benoit this year.
Secondly, Benoit fits much better over on SD than he ever would on Raw. True, you could have more of Benoit vs Jericho or Benoit vs RVD, but really, that's about it. And knowing the way Raw is booked, they'd just job him out to Mark Henry and Randy Orton in their futile attempt to get them over. On SD, he's got Angle, Brock, Eddie, Rey, a returning Edge, and Cena to have potential feuds with, which would all lead to awesome matches. With Angle out, SD really needs a guy to fill his shoes. Brock so far hasn't really been able to do it, but maybe the fans would get behind Benoit like they did with Bret in the 90's.
