no, he was in a strongest man competition, which he didn't win. He earned the nick name the same way big show used to be over 500 pounts, when he was really 450 - 480

He set world powerlifting records in deadlift and squats. In high school.

He's pretty damn strong.

I wouldn't go that far, it's more or else just WWE using the fact he was in a strongest man competition to their own benefit, most people who watch aren't smart enough to do any research on the subject at all and just take WWE at their word.

But it's a fact that he held the world records for squat and deadlift.

I never said it wasn't a fact, although i was wrong, apprently he came in first place at the Arnolds worlds strongest man competition. Atleast if his wikipedia is correct, don't get me wrong Henry is strong like a beast, but saying someone is the strongest man in the world is a pretty major claim.
