I was just reading on WWE.com that flex magazine has named mark Henry the strongest man Ever. I knew he was strong but I don't think he is the strongest man ever. Do you guys think he is? Sorry if already posted.

Sorry if already posted. Flex Magazine placed him 2nd  . But even then he set lots of records and aparently did it with very little training so yeah his a hell of a strong guy so strong he was almost able to beat Cena in an arm wrestling match fairly. |

he looks like a pretty tough guy alright, but i never actually thought he that strong. Thought it was all gimmick.

He squatted 948 lbs with no gear on...That is still the record today, nobody had beat that. This guy is a beast and I was talking to my cousin yesterday, this guy could be world champion and carry the company. Think about it!

This guy is a beast and I was talking to my cousin yesterday, this guy could be world champion and carry the company. Think about it! No, he couldn't. Being strong and being a world champion WWE wrestler are two very different things. Hats off for Henry being able to be so strong, but he's still a very, very clumsy wrestler. |

This guy is a beast and I was talking to my cousin yesterday, this guy could be world champion and carry the company. Think about it! I agree. But they ruined him and his gimmick. Cena proved hes stronger in that arm wrestling match and Lashley nearly beat him aswell. If mark henry can lift big tons of weight, he can damn sure get Cena's arms off his face when he has the STFU locked in.. |

Hey used to be a pretty big deal in the mid 90's. I remember he was on Oprah and they showed how much he eats at one time.

Hey guys there are proper World Strong men competions, Mark Henry has never won one of the official Strong men comp.
Mariusz Pudzianowski is officially the strongest man.

WWE was pretty stupid for signing him to a ten year contract worth $1 million each year looking back now.
He had potential early on to be a success based on his career before wrestling, but he was saddled with gimmicks such as Sexual Chocolate that were destined to fail. In fact, some might say WWE was attempting to push him into quitting for giving him such a ridiculous contract. I mean, seriously, hooking up with Mae Young? Chyna's tranny friend? And no, I'm not talking about Ashley.
Mark Henry was been relegated to a jobber to the heavyweight stars role with the company (i.e. Undertaker, Kane, now Big Show, etc). WWE has tried pushing him in the past few years, but he never got over and would have an incredibly difficult time even earning a three star match as opposed to his career of 1 and 2 star matches. I would say he was wasted talent, but he never was that talented in the ring to begin with, so I'll stick with wasted "big-man talent" as that suits him better.

He's very, very strong, but that's about it. He's a very clumsy wrestler who has a rep for injuring people. That's a bad rep to have if you're a big man. Plus, he's not particularly charismatic and that doesn't help him at all.

He was placed 2nd as Adam3s - V1 stated. It's in the 25th anniversary edition of Flex with Arnold on the cover. States that he has the greatest combined weightlifting/powerlifting total in history. Was the first man to clean and press with one hand a 172 dumbbell. All done maintaining a lifetime drug free status. Strongest man was some guy from Lithuania.
