Henry was billed as the "World's Strongest Man" after he qualified for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics Weightlifting Competition, where he finished tenth in the super heavyweight class. After the WWF sponsored Henry in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, he was signed to a ten-year contract, an anomaly in pro wrestling. Trained by Stu and Bret "The Hitman" Hart, he debuted at In Your House X in on September 22, 1996, defeating Jerry "The King" Lawler. So technically he was actually the World's Strongest Man at one time!

He never was the worlds strongest man, he wasn't even a threat to medal in the olympics. The World's Strongets Man Angl;e is one the wwf/wwe has been using for years. See Ken Patera, and the really big french Canadian from the late 80's whose name escapes me.
