Literally speaking, it has to be Mark Henry. I mean, the world's strongest man would have to be the strongest wrestler, right?

Brittish Bull Dog used to have huge arms back in the day, I would totally say he has to be one of the strongest wrestlers in history. If not him then maybe Bruno Sammartino. Also, anyone who chose the Big show is an idiot, he's just fat, same goes with Andre the Giant. Anyone who chose John Cena is an idiot, he's not that strong. Batista is just some stupid bouncer.

Bobby Lashley was 173 pounds in college and in the army. He put on 100 pounds of muscle and is clearly the most buff wrestler today. Big Show is obviously strong cause hes so massive. Uh yeah 2 points is fine with me.
