Forget about them knowing the histories of the title. I myself don't see a difference in the titles, but, and I could be wrong, I tend to think that the WWE puts the Raw show in front of Smackdown. I remember reading a post the other day on here on how all the returning or new superstars like Goldberg, Rock, Foley, Austin all go to Raw and not Smackdown. It just seems like Raw has all the wrestlers that the casual fan would consider "Superstars" Meanwhile smackdown gets people like The Cat.

By that reasoning then Cruiserweight Title holds is more important than the tag titles.
I totally disagree with you BECAUSE I think the World Title is not as prestigious as the WWE Title. The WWE Title is THE title that has existed over the decades. It's the one with all that lineage, as Bad Guy mentioned. The World Title is associated with the WCW Title, and technically, it doesn't even have the lineage of the WCW Title (not going to argue that issue though), so it's technically rather bland. Even if we did assume that it continued the WCW Title lineage, it's a title Benoit has won before.
RAW is the "number one show" because it's live and Vince favors it. And because UPN still isn't available everywhere, but I'd consider the WWE Title much more important.
Finally, you say that Heyman's screwed with Benoit for so long, so wouldn't Chris want to leave?
#1: Benoit's character is that he's a relentless fighter who never gives up and never fails.
#2: He's overcome all those screw-overs now, so basically, it doesn't matter what Heyman's been doing, because Benoit is on top right now, not in a rut and in a position where giving up would seem likely. You don't reach the Superbowl, or the World Series, of the NBA or Stanley Cup finals only to throw the series away do you?
(unless you're the 1919 White Sox)
