Mark Henry is such an enigma. He’s a guy who can clearly rip both of my arms off my body, yet he also has the kindest sweetest face in may have ever seen on a grown human.
@@wiswc and a chimp can do this easily. pretty sure the worlds strongest man can make a decent amount of headway. Maybe he's winded after ripping off one arm, but he can definitely at least do that much. I mean, unless you want to hit me with the actual math behind such a feat?
I think a lot of powerful men who grew up bigger than most people learn to control their power, and develop a personality that lends itself to not getting to a point where they can hurt someone. They definitely know their own strength. Big Show is clearly very similar in that regard. Shaq. Lot of examples.
@@Firstsurugi chimps are ridiculously more powerful than humans, it's not reasonable to compare them, however he can cause severe damage to a limb but to outright rip it off is super human, there's a reason why you never hear about stuff like that.

I think it’s more about would big show feel comfortable having mark Henry pick him up on his shoulders. Henry definitely weight wise but John seems to have more control to not hurt them. That’s kinda what I’m getting, I could be wrong wouldn’t be the first or last time
I could be wrong, but most of those are age group-specific records. He has a strong claim on being the strongest man at one point (though it was not cut-and-dry), though he was likely one of, if not the, strongest _teenagers_ who has ever lived. By the time he had been into wresting for a little while though, him being the strongest man was extremely arguable. Part of the problem is that there's no one metric that defines this. He won the "World's Strongest Man Competition", but that was the name of the comp, not an official agreed-upon title. This isn't to take away from what he's done, but it was absolutely also a gimmick. He was sold as the world's strongest man )ong after he objectively wasn't, and (especially in his earlier career) he often did these strongman acts - bending pans, lifting cars,etc. Even if it was true, they still definitely made it a gimmick
@@mustaquimahmedtanbeer2437they were strong too but if we talk about actual strength, mark Henry is at the top. Brock, Cena, nobody in wrestling could perform the way mark did in powerlifting or Olympic weightlifting. That’s the point here. WWE completely botched Henry’s character. He literally had WSM written on his outfit but they never once had him display that.
I think John Cenas strength was more evident to wrestlers because he was able to move around and use that power in more agile ways. Meanwhile it was sort of hard for Mark Hendry to display his power without putting his opponents in a risky situation.
Strong probably yes. But I saw him at the Arnold Expo this year definitely not athletic. He was walking like an old man. Very nice guy in person though.
@@KatarHero72Olympic style weightlifting requires a high degree of athleticism and he was a natural at it I doubt he could still do a barbell snatch at his age, thou
Maybe in known history. But there were people over 10 foot tall in the past. Not gonna be able to compare at that height disparity. The muscles and tendons would be comparable to wild animals. Maybe stronger.
@@jrtieno there wasn’t lol. Studies and fossil records consistently show that humans have gotten bigger and taller over time, not shorter. Humans today, on average, are taller than they have ever been. So if no one is walking around 10 feet tall and can flip over a truck today, it’s very unlikely there were many at any point in the past. Especially when you consider todays quality of life and medicine and food. People today are much healthier than people in the past. Especially to the people who existed before recorded history.
@@tradingpost431 you believe that. Fact is the food is less nutritious today due to over farming the same soil so much.

I still remember undertakers story when the wrestlers were traveling to a city in buses and some in cars I forget the exact details but for some reason the car got stuck and mark henry with a towel moved it
Mark Henry is the most versatile strength athlete that has ever existed in history. He was an elite Olympic weightlifter, elite powerlifter, and elite strongman. That’s 3 completely different strength sports that he dominated. There’s literally only one other person that even dominated 2 of these strength sports, the legendary Zydrunas Savickas. The clean and jerk and snatch are as completely different from the bench, deadlift and squat as possible. It’s like being able to be world champion at the 100 meter dash and also world champion marathon runner.
What I find incredible is that he just randomly decided that he wanted to compete in Arnold Strongman Classic in 2002 - his first and only pro strongman competition at that level - and ended up winning by a big margin. Probably the ultimate flex.
For sure, but Henry does have the highest combined total of squat, bench, deadlift, snatch, and clean and jerk ever which is a good claim to the strongest man in history
@@sethticer5108 I have never heard that specific stat before. If it's true, it's impressive, but I have a lot of questions. Are you saying that he did all of those lifts in one comp, like a powerlifting total? Or that all of his lifetime PRs add up to be bigger than anyone else's combined PRs. If it is the first, I haven't personally seen a comp combine powerlifts and Olympic lifts like that before. If it is the second, I would really have to question how they accumulated that and assessed it against others. Regardless, no one can take the records he has away from him. He just stands among many other giants of strength who probably have greater claims to the title of strongest ever.
@@patricknoll81 Those are taken from any single lift performed within an official powerlifting or weightlifting competition. So any officially lifted bench, squat, deadlift, snatch and clean and jerk combined for a super total. The greatest strongman ever is definitely Zydrunas Savickas so I’m not disputing that, but to be so strong at all those lifts is very rare
@@sethticer5108 Yeah, it is impressive indeed. I think it probably ranks him very high on a list for static strength and/or gym strength considerations.
I doubt the strongest, top 10, maybe. The problem is that Henry is a generalist in strength. No specialization such as powerlifting, Olympic, strongman, etc. Brian Shaw and Big Z are the two strongest men in history.
@@joeperry2065 So Mark Henry was lifting almost the same as those dudes while his weight was the same as those dudes but he somehow was natty? Man I love some of y'all delusion lol Mark Henry was juiced to the gills just as the other two. The only difference is the other two were stronger than Henry.
@@skyh2394 he start juicing at 8 years old then ? Dude was ajways huge . Theres no obvious transformation with him like there is with guys like Eddie Hall or other strongmen.
There's a big difference between picking up 500lbs of balanced weight and 500lbs of meat that's working with you. It takes strength and skill for both.
What a stupid interview. He listed Brock Lesnar, John Cena and Goldberg and told him to mention the strongest AMONG THESE THREE. Mark Henry was not in the list.
I felt disrespected for Mark Henry. I mean he’s held the world strongest man moniker for his whole career and for the ENTIRE duration of it nobody came close to taking it from him. And still to this day nobody can take that name from him.
@explodev2550 dude. Look it up. He never competed in WSM. He won an Arnold classic and was an elite natural powerlifter. The truth might seem like trolling to the ignorant.
@@Ak-de5yv Facts. He never placed in a worlds strongest man competition. He won the Arnolds strongman classic the first year and Zydrunas Savickus won it 6 years in a row before he had that streak broken. Henry was most well known as a "tested" strongman athlete. He doesn't own any single lift records but did own the WDFPF (World Drug-Free Powerlifting Federation) records for squat and deadlift for years.
Yep, worlds strongest man wasn’t just a gimmick. Mark has won many strongman competitions and was actually the strongest human in the world at one point.
In terms of pure strength the answer is definitely Mark Henry, but if your talking about pound for pound strength John Cena is definitely in the conversation.
For sure, also Cena could do more in the ring with the strength he had. Henry is for sure stronger, but if you cant use it in meaningful ways it goes unnoticed.
Brock Lesnar did things to Big Show I've never seen anyone else do, and it almost looked effortless at times. Lesnar would no sell how much Big show weighed, even at his heaviest which was over 500lb.
Big Show explained it. He said when guys like Cena or John pick you up, it’s effortless. He said he felt completely safe and that there was no chance John would ever drop him or twist him weird. It’s a different kind of strength. Obviously Mark Henry can lift more than John.
It was less about who was able to lift the most and who Paul felt the most stable and safest with the most control when they were lifting him. That’s when he said Cena.
They’re this odd dumbbell no one has ever lifted one hand over their shoulder. He was the first to do it and I believe put him in the Guinness World records for that.
When I was young I thought it was gimmick until one of my buddies mentioned Kurt and Henry were actually competing in their respective fields that their character's are
have guys heard the Undertaker interview where he told the story that they were once travelling on bus and there was a car on the road blocking the way and Mark got so mad he got out of bus and moved the car on side all by himself

That’s 3 completely different strength sports that he dominated. There’s literally only one other person that even dominated 2 of these strength sports, the legendary Zydrunas Savickas. The clean and jerk and snatch are as completely different from the bench, deadlift and squat as possible. It’s like being able to be world champion at the 100 meter dash and also world champion marathon runner.
What I find incredible is that he just randomly decided that he wanted to compete in Arnold Strongman Classic in 2002 - his first and only pro strongman competition at that level - and ended up winning by a big margin. Probably the ultimate flex.

"No body else on the planet compares to the things that I've done."
Brian Shaw and Big Z enter the chat.
For sure, but Henry does have the highest combined total of squat, bench, deadlift, snatch, and clean and jerk ever which is a good claim to the strongest man in history
@@sethticer5108 I have never heard that specific stat before. If it's true, it's impressive, but I have a lot of questions.
Are you saying that he did all of those lifts in one comp, like a powerlifting total? Or that all of his lifetime PRs add up to be bigger than anyone else's combined PRs. If it is the first, I haven't personally seen a comp combine powerlifts and Olympic lifts like that before. If it is the second, I would really have to question how they accumulated that and assessed it against others.
Regardless, no one can take the records he has away from him. He just stands among many other giants of strength who probably have greater claims to the title of strongest ever.
@@patricknoll81 Those are taken from any single lift performed within an official powerlifting or weightlifting competition. So any officially lifted bench, squat, deadlift, snatch and clean and jerk combined for a super total. The greatest strongman ever is definitely Zydrunas Savickas so I’m not disputing that, but to be so strong at all those lifts is very rare
@@sethticer5108 Yeah, it is impressive indeed. I think it probably ranks him very high on a list for static strength and/or gym strength considerations.
Great Smile Mark
💯
Thank You for the great memories.
Show is a company man, He knew what he had to say
Mark might be the strongest natural human being of all time. Dude was over 300 lbs at 16.
I doubt the strongest, top 10, maybe. The problem is that Henry is a generalist in strength. No specialization such as powerlifting, Olympic, strongman, etc. Brian Shaw and Big Z are the two strongest men in history.
@@kennybadger prolly both full of roids though. Mark was always a monster even at a young age and never been linked to roids. And was tested plenty.
@@joeperry2065 So Mark Henry was lifting almost the same as those dudes while his weight was the same as those dudes but he somehow was natty? Man I love some of y'all delusion lol
Mark Henry was juiced to the gills just as the other two. The only difference is the other two were stronger than Henry.
@@skyh2394 he start juicing at 8 years old then ? Dude was ajways huge . Theres no obvious transformation with him like there is with guys like Eddie Hall or other strongmen.
There's a big difference between picking up 500lbs of balanced weight and 500lbs of meat that's working with you. It takes strength and skill for both.
Bro voice is just humble he don’t gotta say anything else to make him sound humble
I used to think they say “the worlds strongest man” just to say it but now I see
Mark Henry had Vader, a 400lb man above his head. Military press that no one else could replicate.
BIG E is a super strong guy. He needs to be in that converstion.
Nothing against Big E, but when it comes to this I don’t think anyone in wwe compares to mark Henry lol
What a stupid interview.
He listed Brock Lesnar, John Cena and Goldberg and told him to mention the strongest AMONG THESE THREE.
Mark Henry was not in the list.
That man twisted the fork like a paper ☠️
Gave him the business PAUSE ON THAT 😂😂
I felt disrespected for Mark Henry. I mean he’s held the world strongest man moniker for his whole career and for the ENTIRE duration of it nobody came close to taking it from him. And still to this day nobody can take that name from him.
Tell em Mark
Cena never overhead pressed anyone the size of vader when mark did
Mark Henry was on the US Olympic weightlifting team. That alone is impressive.
Mark Henry literally WON a Worlds Strongest Man contest... I don't think people understand that it isn't just a gimmick... It was a fact.
Nope. He never won a WSM.
He won the first ever Arnold Strongman Classic, he never entered a WSM competition.
@@Ak-de5yvand you troll just to cope with the truth
@explodev2550 dude. Look it up. He never competed in WSM. He won an Arnold classic and was an elite natural powerlifter. The truth might seem like trolling to the ignorant.
@@Ak-de5yv Facts. He never placed in a worlds strongest man competition. He won the Arnolds strongman classic the first year and Zydrunas Savickus won it 6 years in a row before he had that streak broken.
Henry was most well known as a "tested" strongman athlete. He doesn't own any single lift records but did own the WDFPF (World Drug-Free Powerlifting Federation) records for squat and deadlift for years.
Yep, worlds strongest man wasn’t just a gimmick. Mark has won many strongman competitions and was actually the strongest human in the world at one point.
Mark Henry is a real strength athlete
I remember the episode on raw when Mark Henry was pulling they semi truck
Bro he says John Lifts him so Smoothly
Not the strongest man
Oviously Henry is the world's strongest man ever lived in WWE or Other
No doubt
My question to Big Show was “who is the strongest wrestler” not who is the smoothest. His answer was John Cena.
@@CVVCLIPSbig show wanted to lift you, and you wanted the big show to lift you, you little manlet 🤣🤣
In terms of pure strength the answer is definitely Mark Henry, but if your talking about pound for pound strength John Cena is definitely in the conversation.
That wasnt the question though you absolute clown
For sure, also Cena could do more in the ring with the strength he had. Henry is for sure stronger, but if you cant use it in meaningful ways it goes unnoticed.
PEDs
Brock Lesnar did things to Big Show I've never seen anyone else do, and it almost looked effortless at times. Lesnar would no sell how much Big show weighed, even at his heaviest which was over 500lb.
He was so strong that the video game makers could not properly render his muscle distribution to his height.
Big Show explained it. He said when guys like Cena or John pick you up, it’s effortless. He said he felt completely safe and that there was no chance John would ever drop him or twist him weird. It’s a different kind of strength. Obviously Mark Henry can lift more than John.
They don't want to give Mark his respect and credit they rather give it to a staged superhero character. Shout out to Mark Henry give him his flowers.
Tbf he asked specifically “in the ring”.
Big Show is a company man.
He said no one compares but how about worlds strongest man Eddie the beast hall?
Eddie Hall can't pick up the inch dumbbell
Mark Henry is the only person in the past hundred years to pick it up the way he did.
@@BrownRecluse1738Okay, but has he ever won the world's strongest man? Or is he just living off of the one lift?
@@jackhughes7637 Mark has a ton of different accolades. The guy was a legend in strongmen competitions before WWE
@@agentcodybanx8909 Didn't answer my first question.
@@jackhughes7637 yeah lol he won the world’s strongest man,
Fun fact, Mark Henry actually handed Mjölnir to Thor back in his younger days. 😉
I remember that interview and I immediately turned into Kevin Hart, "Whoa, whoa. Wait a minute"
Such a humble guy! Mark is great!
Mark henry is literally a gigantic gift sent from god
I love Henry, but he couldnt even open that cage 😂
Wow 🤦🏼😂😂what a comment
That Has Nothing To Do With The Video.
Mark looks super healthy and happy and that makes me happy
It was less about who was able to lift the most and who Paul felt the most stable and safest with the most control when they were lifting him.
That’s when he said Cena.
Mark Henry being called the Silverback wasn't just a gimmick.
He's actually descendant from King Kong.
Mas has a legitimate reason to be upset about a remark like that😂
Mark Henry made records
The man Busted open a Master Lock AND a few chain links bare handed
They’re this odd dumbbell no one has ever lifted one hand over their shoulder. He was the first to do it and I believe put him in the Guinness World records for that.
He broke the chain off the cage door.(someone forgot to use a prop)
It took around 4 minutes, but he eventually broke it right off
Someone should start Chuck Norris like memes about Mark henry
"No seriously though" - Mark Henry
I can’t stand how the interviewer over did the question to make it seem as if Big show specifically said “Not mark henry”
after seeing him pull that truck. i became a believer. then i saw this mf bend a quarter
When I was young I thought it was gimmick until one of my buddies mentioned Kurt and Henry were actually competing in their respective fields that their character's are
Mark Henry is a legit powerlifter that has held numerous records.
have guys heard the Undertaker interview where he told the story that they were once travelling on bus and there was a car on the road blocking the way and Mark got so mad he got out of bus and moved the car on side all by himself
Big show said it’s not just about who can throw weight he’s talks about stability and control when lifting and slamming a opponent
Brian Shaw: “ am I a joke to you?”
I was surprised he did not mention Albert too. He was a monster that slammed Lesnar like a toy during a promotion match
Yeah, watching Albert manhandle Kane and Brock back in the day was wild. Literally gorilla pressing them. Freakish power.
