His historical match was on Royal Rumble 2003 when he took on Kurt Angle for the belt, eventhough ended up on the losing side it was still a great performance and the match was one among the top 50 matches of all time. Lot of his matches features in the all time 50 list .Held the intercontinental belt for a short time in 2002 by defeating RVD but only to lose the belt to him in the rematch.

Most favoured opponent Kurt Angle & Triple H.
One of very tough contenders in the ring has faced hugh success on all title that wwe has offered him. Has been a Tag title holder with Edge,Angle, Eddie Gurerro.
