The Tyrannosaurus species name Rex is the latin word for king. It was called the king, because at the time it was the largest know terrestrial carnivore. Also you could call it a king, because at the time, it was the top predator of north america.

Btw Liopleurodon wasn't 80 ft long it was 30-50 ft long and if it could rip a dinosaur to shreds that's because the largest dinosaur in the area was the 10 ft long eustreptospondylus.

Fun fact: Liopleurodon isn't a dinosaur
