Today, we will cover not only the physically strongest, but also the toughest professional wrestlers in history. This is not a complete list, since there are too many to include. If you have any further suggestions or anecdotes, please let me know in the comments.

    I met Harley Race at WM 20 in NY. Absolute gentleman to children and fans. He picked my son up like he was nothing (despite being in a wheelchair), called him Champ, and allowed us to take pictures with him. RIP to a known tough guy who took time for a few fans!

    Andre picking up Arnold and placing him on top of a car to scold...is literally the "Listen here you! You little shit!!!" moment.

    BRUNO SAMMARTINO. in 1959 he bench pressed 565 pounds with a 2 second pause with no wraps. he weighed only 265 pounds. he bench pressed 330 pounds for 38 reps with no pause. he was clean, no peds or steroids.
  • @malcolmr3
    Glad to see Haku and Race on the list. The only two people that Andre was genuinely afraid of.

    Prime Kane was a legit monster, Cesaro didnt look like much but was insanely strong, cena pound for pound gotta be on there

    I miss old Bruno. Those were indeed the best days to be a fan
  • @eddhardcore6881
    Haku/Meng is tough when he said "Boo" to Chuck Norris Chuck had a heart attack

    Something else that warrants mentioning is the fact that Mark Henry broke a steel chain on a steel cage once. It was a spot where Mark was supposed to interfere in the match, but instead of a gimmicked chain like they would normally used, they used one that hadn’t been worn down at all. They edited the segment so you couldn’t see Mark struggling with the chain, but after a few minutes, he broke it off with his bare hands. Un-freaking real!
  • Mark Henry did a demo at my high school bent the 45lb Olympic bar. We had 2x100lb barrels and loaded the rest with 45lb weights. He bench it and bar bent.
  • @markalan3108

  • @hikyuu1
    Ted Arcidi, LOD Animal, Sid Vicious, Kane
  • Mark Being number 1 is no surprise since he is one of the few people who can say I lifted the Inch Dumbbell

    I had a 1961 picture that was in a 1975 Wrestling Magazine when they did a story of Bruno Sammartino's life. In 1961 a 21 year old Bruno did what looked like a jack hammer power slam. The picture had Bruno holding up 600 pound Haystack Calhoun up in the air.

    No one ever mentions Ivan Putski as one of the strongest. But look at the polish hammer. He was ripped.
  • @phildicks4721
    Verne Gagne used to say about Ken Patera that "Ken could have won the Olympic Gold except he was too busy chasing the German girls st night instead of resting up." I love listening to Ken's interviews on YouTube. He says exactly what he thinks with no filter.
