The first thing you think of when No Way Out 2004 comes to mind is Eddie Guerrero reaching the apex of professional wrestling in his emotional capturing of the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar. Michael Cole has been accused of being a corporate robot, but his feelings matched everyone else's when he called the aftermath with a cracking, squeaky voice. It's one of wrestling's premier feelgood moments, and an excellent match to boot.

The previous two bouts boost No Way Out as a whole: Kurt Angle earning a WrestleMania title match with a triple threat win over Big Show and John Cena, and Chavo Guerrero snaring the Cruiserweight gold from Rey Mysterio. All in all, it was a good omen for a great WrestleMania ahead.
