WWE legend Mark Henry will be the next guest on Steve Austin's 'Broken Skull Sessions' show this weekend.

Before that, Henry joined Austin for a quick, 30-second blast through some rapid fire questions. During the video, Mark named Cesaro as the guy who works the hardest in the gym, and also named him as the "most deceptively powerful superstar" and the "pound-for-pound strongest" on the WWE roster.

That's high praise coming from a former Olympian who was once dubbed the 'World's Strongest Man' throughout his lengthy career.

Most wrestling fans would agree that WWE has never made the most of Cesaro's skills. He's perpetually overlooked for main event spots, probably because his mic skills aren't the best. Despite that lack of charisma though, the Swiss grappler is considered one of the best workers on the scene.

Henry obviously thinks the world of him. He knows a freak in the gym when he sees one, and Mark believes Cesaro is exactly that.

Cesaro is currently locked in a SmackDown Tag-Team Title feud against New Day with his latest partner Shinsuke Nakamura. It doesn't look like he'll ever get that headline push his admirers crave.
