him being able to make the finals in those years was a testament to his greatness.

Its a shame that he couldnt get that 5th title, but the fact that he got his 4th in the peak era of Briant,Thor and Eddie, which was a much heavier era and they (in my opinion) were stronger opponents than the previous generation, and he was a consistent contender in both eras, shows that Z is one of a kind strongmen, long term more dominant that Mariusz .
