Am I the first to point out that Mark Henry WAS the strongest man in the world?

Yeah it's really funny seeing people list mark henry in this thread.

That's no gimmick. Henry's arguably the #1 powerlifter (and unquestionably at least the #2 or #3) in history. And he was completely drug free, and was done with the sport by the age of 24 (partially because he had done all there was to accomplish, but mostly because he was disgusted by the culture of it). Didn't even lift in his physical prime.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Henry Take a look
 
Shawn Michaels can use heartbreak powers and kill people instantly.

Which is better the Beast Incarnate or the Devil's favorite demon? Both are pretty high positions.

Where does Oz fit on a power tier?
 
Brock Lesnar. Clearly.


  • He is The Beast Incarnate
  • Defeated Hulk Hogan, absorbing the powers of Hulkamania and Jeezus
  • Defeated The Rock, absorbing his powers of electricity and Hollywood
  • Defeated The Undertaker, absorbing his powers of being undead and the ability to shoot lightning, levitate, ride motorcycles, and possess people
  • Defeated John Cena, absorbing his powers of Hustle, Loyalty, Respct, and the ability to over come all odds, no matter how insurmountable they may appear to be
  • Defeated The Big Show, literally conquering the largest athlete in the world
  • Demolished Mark Henry, putting the strongest human on earth out of action for months
  • Destroyed the New Age Outlaws, absorbing Billy Gunn's best pure athleticism in the WWE, and Road Dogg's singing ability
  • Crushed The Hurricane, absorbing the powers of a real life super hero
  • Defeated HHH, absorbing his powers of sledgehammers, Motorhead, Shao Kahn masks, and burials
  • Beat the dog shit out of CM Punk, absorbing his powers as the Best in the World


You can't argue with the facts.

I agree with all of those facts.
 
My friend brought up Bret "Hitman" Hart.

Also being the excellence of execution and the best there was and the best that ever will be.

Who could beat that?
 
Adam Bomb. The guy is a nuclear weapon.

But then Brett Hart was apparently "the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be", so he'd take some stopping too.

How is there not a game based on this yet?

I would say Wrestlemania The Arcade Game and In Your House were close to it, since they were basically MK games but with WWF guys. Gimmicks were taken literally for special moves. British Bulldog's head turned into a bulldog head. Vader turned into a mastodon. Taker would shoot spirits and throw tombstones at you.

I have to imagine a modern title taking that concept and running with it would be great. It'd be even more ridiculously awesome if, rather than do the traditional fighter / wrestling dynamic, it was basically God of War where you had people in the wrestling pantheon killing the shit out of eachother in deathmatches.
 
John Cena. He can be defeated, but never permanently so. Any losses he suffers only serve to lower the odds of him winning at a later date, which feeds directly into his ability to overcome said odds. Cena's most hated matches are the ones where his opponent has usurped his classic role as the underdog and the odds are stacked firmly in Cena's favour - the loss to Bryan, for instance, which Cena has never pursued because he knows the odds would be far too even for his liking. Dissimilarly, the absolute beating Cena took at the hands of Brock Lesnar this past Sunday has shifted the odds even further away from Cena and, in doing so, Brock's been played right into Cena's hands.

He's the man with the lergest erms in the world. He's the man with the big dipper. Imagine if everything he said was actually true. Holy shit. He would be the ruler of the world.
 
Kane with the mystical urn and prep time put gimmick GOAT Undertaker into a vegetated state and then beat him three ppv events in a row culminating in a literal burial, I assume Kane also had the ability to summon Nexus as mooks for himself, something, something higher power as Wade Barrett said himself.
Now lets just ignore Demon and Corporate Kane.

The real answer though is Cena, sure you're trumpeting Lesnar now but in a few weeks time odds will be overcome, Cena can overcome all odds no matter how great they may appear, Summerslam was just a way of creating massive odds to be toppled cementing Cena as the eternal god of the WWE universe.
 
Double J claimed to be the world's greatest singer, the world's greatest entertainer, and without a doubt, the world's greatest wrestler. Ain't he great?

Kama was the supreme fighting machine.

But really, the answer is Warrior. You can be immortal with all of your limbs cut off. You can resurrect just to be killed again. Warrior had a power within him so large and powerful that he had to make up the name for it. Experience destrucity.
 
Yeah...it'd be VERY difficult to say, since a lot of guys would fall into tiers of Indestructible, Immortal, Best at (insert thing), or God-like.

(Keep in mind, none of those could prevent anyone from getting beat by any means.
It just means they'd have to be put into a position to where they couldn't win.)

That said, I'm going with Lesnar, since Stro made a good point on him absorbing abilities from defeated foes.
He's basically Mega Man!

Shit, he even beat Taker at WM, who for all intents and purposes, is Wrestling's embodiment of Death.
(Was kinda funny in his match with Cena when he did the stand-up and started sticking his tongue out; very Taker-like things.)

I mean, what the hell do you do after that?
