15 Off Air WWE Moments You Weren't Supposed To See

15. Mark Henry Struggles With The Steel Cage

Mark Henry is legit one of the strongest men around, and if anyone could break a steel cage's door, it's him. In 2006, one WWE staff member decided to find out; they were supposed to rig the steel chain so it'd be easy for Henry to break. When they didn't, Mark was forced to do things the old fashioned way as Batista killed time mid-ring.

The segment actually went a lot longer than the above clips shows. In total, it took Henry around 10 minutes to crack the links in the chain, and that was only after trying everything from kicking the door to bending the metal bars.

To this day, some believe this was an internal leak from WWE staff who were impressed by Henry's feat of strength.
