Really hard to say. He reached all there is in both.
I would still go with WWE simply because of the bigger mainstream fame

 

[Kalashnikov]

It solely depends on what you value more, real competition or money/fame. I'd go with the former, so I'm gonna say powerlifting.

 

[A PG Attitude]

In weightlifting he set records and was undeniably the strongest man on the planet. In WWE although he did win the world title it was the b show title at a time period when people like Jack Swagger were winning it. He was never the top guy in the industry.

 

[theshape31]

While accomplishing a great amount in WWE, I do see Mark’s incredible powerlifting feats as his ultimate legacy.

 

[Geeee]

I see Mark Henry primarily as a wrestler but TBF I give like zero fucks about power lifting

 

[AliFrazier100]

He's one of the greatest, if not THE greatest powerlifter of all time. He's nowhere near that in wrestling.

 

[MarkOfAllMarks]

He was the very best, strongest powerlifter on the planet for his time.

He had a decorated and successful wrestling career but he was never the best.

 

[thevardinator]

He certainly would've made a lot more money out of wrestling if you define success on that.

 

[Black Metal]

Power lifting I'd say. It was his his first and original passion.

They don't call him the "World's Strongest Man" for any other reason.

 

[BehemothSuplex]

Its powerlifting even though he's mainstream because of WWE his feats/records are insane

Mark Henry #1

I couldn´t care less about Powerlifting or how many records he broke lifting a object but he has had a great Career in WWE, but I wished he would have been used better in some stages of his Career. Especially in 2013 I think, when he feuded against Cena, build him up really good just to get beat by Cena. I think there was so much potential creatively to
to make him a Top Star, but it never worked out sadly but at least he won the World title and other Titles.

Henry flopped on biggest stage ie Olympics. Why is this a question lol

 

[Pencil Neck Freak]

I think it's safe to say. If Henry could make more money from lifting he would of never entered wrestling. And probably would of been one of the GOATs of the sport.

Henry flopped on biggest stage ie Olympics. Why is this a question lol

Olympics weight lifting and power lifting are not the same sport though. Very few people have been able to be successful in both. While not that successful in the Olympics. In power lifting Henry won world champions and broke world records. He's legitimately regarded as one of the strongest men ever. Who could of been the best in the sport if he never did wrestling.
