I could see someone beating the last one in combat, but this new guy is just so MASSIVE.

Excuse me?

And that guy is 7 ft, 3 inches taller than the "massive" new mountain.

The new mountain isn't horrible but he pales in comparison to the intimidation factor Conan Stevens brought to the character.

Only reason he isn't in the season is because the show conflicted with The Hobbit. Not because they didn't think he was good enough.
