He also holds the record for reigns as WCW / WWE United States Champion and was the second WWF Triple Crown Champion and fifth WCW Triple Crown Champion, becoming the first wrestler to achieve recognition in both the WWF and WCW.

He was also the winner of the 1994 Royal rumble match and the only two-time King of the Ring in history, having won the tournament in 1991 and 1993.
