According to Big Show in an episode of WWE Network‘s Table for Three, Mark Henry, John Cena, and Kane are the top three athletes who possess incredible strength and stability in the ring. Show praised these wrestlers for their ability to not only lift and throw around heavy weights but also for their functional strength in holding and carrying their opponents. He emphasised the importance of wrestlers who can effectively work with him inside the ring and provide stability during matches.
My tops are Mark Henry, John Cena, and Kane, not just because he’s sitting here. When I go by strength, it’s guys you work within the ring and their stability. There are a lot of strong guys, that can throw around a lot of weight, but they’re not functionally strong in holding you or carrying you. And I know from people picking me up in the past who had me.

John Cena, a 16-time world champion, has been a dominant force in WWE and has proven his strength time and again. Kane, a towering figure in the wrestling world, has displayed his raw power and intensity in numerous matches.
