Pudz was so dominate in wsm and european strongman that big z quit, as did other guys to do the other comps. They didn't come back until pudz retired. But then pudz last second decided to do 09 with a torn arm, barely any training and beat Shaw and almost beat z in that 09.

Pudzianowski was very lucky too, the best strongmen of those days left WSM and joined IFSA during the period 2005=07. Had Big Z and Vasil Virastyuk been there , the results would have been quite different, even Phil Phister came back from IFSA and won the title in 2006.
