Undertaker shared tales of the World’s Strongest Man
Undertaker narrated a story of how Mark Henry helped the WWE tour bus get out of a difficult situation. He said, “We had a four-hour drive to the next city, wherever we were going. And in front of the first bus was a car and the driver didn’t have enough room to pull out. And we’re sitting there. No one could find who owns this car. Everybody’s looking at their watch like, ‘oh my gosh.”
Fortunately for the WWE superstars, they had Mark Henry to thank, who displayed some truly superhuman strength. Taker continued to narrate, “Mark gets wind of it and he goes, ‘I’ll handle it.’ Mark gets up, goes off the bus, grabs a towel, goes to the backend of this car, puts the towel under the fender well, he reaches under it, he picks it up, and he takes a couple of steps, and he puts it down.”
Once Henry could get a proper estimate of the car’s weight, he proceeded to move it out of the way itself. “He looks at his hands, refixes the towel, puts it under there again, picks it up, walked it a couple more steps until we had enough of an angle for the bus to pull out. I was like, ‘what do you do with that?”
Undertaker even went on to describe how Henry once went on to bend a silver spoon like a pretzel. “We were in Japan once and I’ve seen him take a nice piece of silver. It was like a spoon you’d stir your coffee with. Nice thick silver, and he twisted it like a pretzel. I’ve seen him take frying pans and bend them in half. It’s just a gift that he’d been given that not many people have.”

They clashed in a brutal Casket match at the PPV. Ironically, it was Taker who displayed superhuman strength to lift the near 400-pound giant to deliver the Tombstone Piledriver.
Undertaker even refers to Mark Henry as the nicest guy in the world. Both men hail from the state of Texas and are icons of the professional wrestling industry.
