Mark Henry
Mark Henry is an American powerlifter, Olympic weightlifter and professional wrestler. Labelled as the World’s Strongest Teenager and later as the World’s Strongest Man, Henry is a two time Olympian and a gold, silver and bronze medallist at Pan American Games. His intimidating size and power earned him a spot in American Powerlifting circle early in life from where he never looked back. Henry went on to become WDFPF record holder in squat, deadlift, raw deadlift and total. He is credited for the biggest raw squat and raw powerlifting total ever performed by a drug tested athlete. After breaking records in powerlifting, Henry made an easy switch to weightlifting; he was a two-time Olympic Festival Champion and three-time US National Weightlifting Champion. In 1996, he joined WWE. As a wrestler, he won the World Heavyweight Champion title, WWF European Championship and ECW Championship. Though injuries have played a spoilsport for Mark Henry, his established persona of a ruthless and powerful man terrifies his opponents till date.

Mark Henry

- Sport: Wrestling It’s hard to think of what Mark Henry hasn’t done to cement his reputation as a world-class strongman. Henry, 50, is best known as a longtime WWE wrestler with two world titles, but before that, he was a two-time Olympic weightlifter and a world-champion powerlifter who still holds world powerlifting records. He took a lot of hits during a 25-year WWE career, though, even when he clocks in at 6-foot-4 and 360 pounds. Knowing that, he announced in 2019 he would donate his brain to research. “Maybe it will help with figuring out how things work [including] kids playing sports,” he said.
