Heh, I know several people who would agree with your statement, I might even be one of them, but consider the following: Shawn did not go through his career unscathed, both his body and mind have taken their share of bumps and bruises along the way. But he became refined though adaptation over the years, and that's how he was able to remain a top contender as long as he did.
Was Shawn bad at the end of his career? Of course not. He was good, some would say great, but he wasn't better than he was during his peak.
Also, "would my original post be any different if Eddie was alive?" Honestly, his mortality (or lack their of) didn't even come to mind. Dead or alive, I still see him as being better than The Rock.
