But he was a WWE star. They got HHH from WCW, but he wasn't a star when 
they got him.

Chris Benoit was a star when they signed him. WWE didn't make him one. 
That's the difference between a homemade star and bought talent...and 
bought talent will NEVER be allowed to one-up homemade stars.

I know...and I liked that much better then the dual champions.

To me, having dual champions is always for the sake of the inevitable 
champion vs champion.
