Mark had a 2, 033lb powerlifting TOTAL in HIGH SCHOOL. easily one of the strongest people who have ever lived!

[Krazykx]

I talked to Henry while leaving a WWE RAW event years & years ago. He actually came out in the street where people were leaving the event, just to interact with us. Signing autographs, joking around & just shooting the shit. Not one other worker did that. Everyone else was seen speeding away in their rental cars or limos. Not Mark. He really enjoyed the fans & was super cool & down to Earth.

[tortillasarenotbiceps]

As a guy who's lifted weights for 45 years I can tell you Mark Henry is the real deal. He is legit one of the strongest men on the planet.

[FerretJohn]

Let this sink in, Mark set about a dozen World Powerlifting records, verified drug free, in 1995 that ARE STILL UNBROKEN TODAY!

[alexbrannon]

Makes me respect Mark Henry even more because he cared more about not hurting people than getting over. He was easily in my top 3 favorites and it kills me they didn't push him more because he had great mic skills and his Hall of Pain gimmick is proof he could be a champion. He could have done it face or heel, if they wouldn't have him job out to others.

[GMoneyXL]

The Hall of Pain menacing big man gimmick was successful for Mark Henry.

[charlestinsman]

Mark Henry is a legit strongman he won the Arnold Classic before

[JackSatanson]

The more you here about mark and the more you hear him talk- he is a mans man and the salt of the earth

[brownmut]

I remember seeing Andre in his prime live in the early 80s. Andre with that huge mane of hair and standing tall on that ramp way at the old MLG was something ill never forget, he was a real giant.

[Horford]

Actually I disagree with Tony. As a.Heel character Mark Henry was very good on the Mic. The fake shoot promo against Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler was a classic. Mark's bulky body type would have been better if he wrestled in the 80's.

[AbrasionUK]

"Never benched pressed a day in his life" The guy was a renowned powerlifter. Pretty sure he's bench pressed before!

[joshfuller]

Mark was a powerlifter, before being an Olympic style lifter. Tony is misremembering. Mark set records in the bench as a teen. That said, beast.

[alansmith]

Love that he could've ruled the world in wrestling with his strangth and talent but was worried about hurting an opponent! Class act all the way!

[danmarteen]

I saw mark Henry in the Austin airport once on the escalator he was coming up I was going down and I yelled “sexual chocolate what’s up?!” Didn’t go over well...

[scottpoulos]

It doesn't matter how bad of a heel Mark Henry ever was, there's no way to look at his face and not want him to try to sell you a fresh-baked pie.

[aceballer]

Imagine Mark Henry coming at you on the offensive line 😳

[JA_WILL]

Good segment -- Tony is staying on point and did a great job here.

[BossNate]

You can tell Tony is telling the truth about drop kicking Andre the Giant....he's still genuinely amazed to this day when he tells the story.. hahahaha

[Colstonewall]

Tony is a nice guy too. I could never see him as a heel because it just wouldn't be believable. You can see the humbleness and niceness in him. I'm so happy he's doing well now as I'd heard he was homeless for a while.
