The World Heavyweight Title lost all credibility it had when it was put around David Arquette's waist in WCW. It climbed a bit when Kurt Angle and The Rock held it, but it was seen as secondary to the WWE title during the Invasion angle.

When the World Title was put around Hunter's waist after he beat HBK it lost pretty much any credibility. When Benoit won the title its value climbed, but went back down when Benoit played second fiddle to the HHH/HBK feud. I thought the title would have meant something more when Orton won it, but his face turn dropped the ball, and Hunter was booked to appear superior to Orton as champion, it didn't get any value back.

I think if Orton's quest for the World Title is built superbly, which it hasn't yet, the title COULD gain credibility again when Orton wins it; or better yet Batista, but as of now I see no reason why a title change right now would really do any good for whoever wins the title; so it's logical that Hunter will retain the World title.
At this point, I'm not really sure the WWE could bring back credibility with any one person.
