But if Eddie/Angle is a WWE Title match, then it will only give this match a more high profile spot on the card. Having this match be for the WWE Title will only make it better, and it won't hurt Eddie at all, especially if he wins in New York City. I think that putting the title on Guerrero at No Way Out is the best thing to do.

Did you see Wrestlemania X-8?
In the build up to that show, all the publicity was based on Rock facing Hulk Hogan, and next to nothing was mentioned about the WWF title match between Jericho and HHH. Even though the title match went on last, it had no heat and very few people were interested in the outcome. By the end of that night, the biggets stars in the company were Hogan and Rock.
As a result, the title and the champion, seemed like a secondary issue. Once that happens, the belt loses a lot of its value, and historically having a weak championship will lead to poor business.
The same thing will happen with this card. The matches that will get all the publicity will be Kane-Taker, Goldberg-Brock and Foley's match. The other matches will take a backseat. As a result, the title looks like a prop, because the main matches on the card have nothing to do with the title.
How can you take a match that will be 5th or 6th from the top as being the match to determine 'the best' in the company? To me that doesn't make sense.
