“I Felt Sorry”: Vince McMahon, Highly Revered By Arnold Schwarzenegger, Once Shut Up Powerlifting Legend in an Unexpected Way

In professional wrestling, Vince McMahon is the pied piper. He created the pro wrestling promotion with the help of his brilliant intellect, which attracted attention from all around the world. Arnold Schwarzenegger was one of several illustrious celebrities that admired McMahon greatly for his contributions. In addition, based on The Big Man’s interview, he has also proven his wrestling abilities by silencing an Olympic powerlifter.

To put it in context, McMahon once spoke with Muscle and Fitness and revealed a number of things. During the conversation, he talked about the moment he defeated WWE legend, Mark Henry.

WWE fans are aware that Mark Henry is a difficult opponent to overcome due to the massive build that earned him the professional nickname, ‘The World’s Strongest Man.’ It’s interesting to note that McMahon trained him back then. Meanwhile, he said that when his trainee was at his best, he gave him a pretty hard beating.

While questioned about the incident, he explained that, given his age, he must have had some tricks up his sleeve. So when he arrived up and see WWE legend, he challenged him and it pumped him and Henry up and eager to start training.

How did Vince McMahon overpower Henry?

The Billionaire challenged him and afterward went to the locker room. He took advantage of the fact that Mark’s passion and energy had significantly decreased by the time he appeared. Notably, he made an effort to get an advantage there psychologically, which he was successful in doing.

As McMahon had trained him, he knows the fact that Mark is a bodybuilder lifter who only does one or two repetitions. So he took advantage of this. In his words, “I was very deferential to Mark in the first giant set we went through. But in the second one, he was green around the gills. That’s when I started saying, “The World’s Strongest Man is not doing too well at the moment.”

“By the end of the workout, I was all over him. Come on, Mark! I’m 60-something years old, and you’re the World’s Strongest Man!” Psychologically, I pretty much decimated him on that last giant set. I almost felt sorry for him, but he challenged me. That was a fun day for me. [H/T: M & M]”

This shows that McMahon used his skill set to overcome the other contests in addition to making intelligent business decisions. It will be fascinating to see how the business develops now that he has retired.
