It's been his catchphrase from day one, "The Worlds Strongest Man." But for Mark Henry, it's more than just a moniker, it's a reality. At the 2002 Arnold Classic, Arnold Schwarzenegger himself stated that Mark Henry was the strongest man he's ever met. Throughout his weightlifting/powerlifting career, Henry set and shattered a number of world records as well.
Also, multiple publications have mentioned Mark Henry as one of the strongest men on the planet. In fact, Flex Magazine did an article entitled "10 Strongest Humans To Ever Walk The Earth." Mark Henry finished number 2 in that particular ranking.
During Mark’s time as an Olympian and amateur weightlifter/powerlifter, he set and broke a plethora of national and world records. To this day, some still stand, but even at the ripe old age of 45, I wouldn't want to test his strength!

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
