Don't know, but if anyone could it would be Brock. That dude might be the strongest pro wrestler ever I thought it was Ted Arcidi?

I think those are your top two at any rate. Mizark Henry could legit lift a lot of weight, but I think those two could take him.

I think he could. Big Show was well over 500lbs. when he and Brock wrestled. If it was Yoko when he first debuted then yeah, toward the end I doubt it. It wouldn't be the prettiest thing in the world but, it could be done.

Not a chance. Period end of story. You cant really compare him lifting Show to lifting Yoko. Something nobody has taken into consideration is that Big Show is taller than Yoko ever was, therefor Yoko had a much lower center of gravity. I'll give you an example, I can almost easily lift my friend Sean up onto my shoulders he weighs about 220 to 225, but he's also about 6'4 to 6'5. However I cant, even on my best day lift my friend Carlos onto my shoulders even though he weighs about the same, why? Because the height difference. 4 or 5 inches makes a huge difference.

Fun fact: Yokozuna and Brock Lesnar are the only two people to win the WWE title at Wrestlemania during their rookie year. I believe Kurt Angle was also in his rookie year when he won the WWF Title.

Yes, but Kurt didn't win the World Title at WM during his rookie year. He lost both the IC (Benoit) and Euro (Jericho) titles at WM.

Quoted for scientific accuracy. Big Show's weight looks to be fairly evenly distributed throughout his much taller frame. Not only was Yoko much shorter than Show, but the VAST majority of his weight was in his belly and upper legs. It's possible someone could have lifted him in a fireman's carry (a hold designed to distribute weight evenly across the lifter's own body) but there's absolutely no way anyone could have hit a move like the F5 on Yoko. His low center of gravity would make him impossible to spin in mid-air.
