      Honestly yea, its harder to be powerful and stay humble then it is to get powerful in the first place, think abt how many people are powerfull and then how many are both. Not many powerfull people are humble

      WCW came up with the gimmick first though as they had a literal 3 times world's strongest Man Bill Kazmaier who was considered the strongest man that ever lived in his time. 💪
      Until the likes of Zydrunas Savickas "Big Z", Brian Shaw, Hafthor Julius Bjornsson and Eddie Hall came around. 😅

      Mark henry was crap as a wrestler. Never dug the gimmick because he never won that title, his in ring work is mid card he was just in goof with Vince so he got a big push late in his career. He's a bully to fans and anyone he disagrees with there is video to prove it. Hes just a powerlifter that got into wrestling.

      He didn't even stick to a specialization. He did powerlifting, olympic lifting, AND strongman and entered global championships in all of them.
      He also didn't really compete or train in these disciplines into what would have been his prime.
      He probably could have been the GOAT at one of these things, particularly weightlifting. He just wanted to be a pro wrestler.
