I wonder what inspired them to give Eddie the title at No Way Out instead of WrestleMania. What were the plans at the time?

brock lesnar decided he was leaving the company im not sure when but it was only a few weeks or months before WM so they had to get the strap off of him , if he stayed they probably keep it on brock heading into WM

Might always be the GOAT title win moment in wrestling history. I get chills each time I watch it.

The crowd eruption. The jumping into the crowd by Eddie in pure excitement. The buildup to the title win for a 1st time champion. Just a great moment.

(Mick Foley and Kofi Kingston would be interchangeable 2nd for different reasons. Foley- same reasons as Eddie above, and great all time post celebration. But hurt by the fact it was taped/spoiled by WCW. Kofi- cause he is Black, and he won it on at Mania, the biggest stage. Also his win was with no interference. But its hurt by not being in an arena. The crowd pop hits different in an outdoor arena.)
