I will agree HHH was one of the best in the biz before he tore his quad. Now? Doubtful. As for putting over HBK... now you're stretching. HBK is one of HHH's best friends plus HBK is a part timer at the end of his career with no chance of taking HHH's spot.

You had a hard time because I wasn't making excuses...

As for Fllair's interference, it was minimal. He basically tried to yell at the ref and push Booker T a couple of times. If you want to keep Booker's heat, Flair brains him with a chair.

Didn't Flair crack him early in the match? and also, I remember flair breaking up some pins by putting HHH's leg on the ropes. I may have it confused with another match (seriously, I have been seeing too much wrestling in the last 10 days)

Not top of the card??? HHH has a WORLD TITLE! Let me repeat that... a WORLD TITLE. Thats top of the card. Also, the value of the belt is a direct reflection fo the value of the wrestler in the fan's eyes, IMO.

I think the belt's value is reflected by not only who has the belt and who he is defending it against, it's also based off of how much the WWE is willing to promote the belt. HHH might as well be wearing the IC title right now, because for the last 6 months that belt has yet to see the lights of a main event.
Is that an excuse for HHH not giving it up? No... but it's defenently not the same as having the "real" WWE title. It's not the same, thus it won't be treated the same by HHH. Like I said before, Austin and Rock have lost before, but it wouldn't be in the same low fashon as HHH because they were in the main event.
Also take into account that HHH has control over the story to some extent... he feels that he is bigger than the World Title, because the world title isn't being promoted as being the "real" top of the industry. If it were promoted like it was the absolute biggest prize there is in the WWE, methinks HHH would lose a lot more often... but in todays Split up WWE that just isn't true anymore... now that belt is about equal to the IC Belt back in the day.
