Thank Hogan for that. Perfect was scheduled to win the 91 rumble but Hogan changed the storyline and he won the rumble.

Hogan in his later years had veto power over the results of any of his matches, as per his contracts with the promoters. That is a conflict of interest. Hopefully, no major promotion will ever allow that to happen again with the wrestlers that they hire.
It’s a shame that some highlights from Curt Hennig’s match with Nick Bockwinkel for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship in 1986, that went to a 60-minute time limit draw, was not included in this career highlight reel. In my opinion, it was “The Match Of The 20th Century”.
Him and Bret for the ic title in 91 was perfection.He was injured on top of it.

CURT WAS ALWAYS IN PERFECT SHAPE EVEN WHEN HE DIED💯💪
Its been said many times whenever curt was in the building you knew you had to step up your A-game in order to keep up with him. His matches were simply...perfect. Although he was awa champ, its a Damn shame he was never wwe or wcw champ.he was ahead of his time. Hennig is truley a legend and one of the greatest in ring performers of all time.

I get what you're saying but most of the guys thought of it as a night off to wrestle Curt because he would never hurt you and always made you look your best...even if you were the shits.
You said the character Mr Perfect It wasnt a character, he was so great. The rap is crap was great and i agreed. He is one of the greatest ever
Curt Henning & Brett Heart in the gardens the best match I've ever seen.😊😊. Rip
He was my favorite back in the day. No matter who he wrestled, he ALWAYS made it watchable.

This was really nice to watch. Definitely a guy who had "it", like Eddie Guerrero. Didn't matter if they had a belt or not, they were must watch.

I think it’s great wade boggs inducted mr perfect because of their long friendship! They were hunting and Boggs messed up his ankle or knee and couldn’t walk, so henning picked him up and carried him over 2 miles out of the woods! That’s a true/strong friend!

Man I miss this man. He was the perfect guy that left way too.soon. He gave a lot to the business..putting asses in seats..and putting people over for this business. Its too bad he passed away but that lifestyle will catch up with anyone sooner or later..and it did with a lot of those guys from back then. Im just glad I got to see them all entertaining ppl that left too soon. His son deserved better..and its too bad he isnt somewhere entertaining us all. Rip curt

One of the best I ever saw growing up Really sickens me he didnt win the Royal Rumble in 90, he or Ravishing Rick Rude were the only ones I would have accepted back then MR Perfect the man exuded the character, we felt it coming thru our screens! On some yo this guy has no off switch!! I damn near cried in 2003 when he came back for the rumble Always wanted to see him win ww(f) e title
This and the attitude era is why i cant watch wrestling today....it really was Perfect and im glad i lived it
I would love to see any full matches he had with Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, & Kurt Angle. Are there any?
@hoganschoice

Not that I’m aware of. Would definitely watch if they are out there. Angle and Perfect faced off in the 2002 royal rumble. Hennig also wrestled Mysterio as part of the West Texas Rednecks stable when they battled No Limit Soldiers at Bash at the Beach 1999. No singles matches though. H
Mr. Perfect will always be my number 1! Thanks for the great video! 👍👍

1 more run with the IC belt would ve been good as well. RIP
A great talent sadly drugs took over due to injuries but back then the WWF didn't take sero
Great video, but one thing missing: after his first run in the WWF, he went to the Pacific Northwest and improved his skills and became a better wrestler and was the champion in that territory. The AWA went down because of their screwy decisions. He was a great wrestler, just sad he resorted to cocaine and the roids.
3:15 I need a sequin tuxedo! Nothing else matters. 🤨
The one common denominator that led to the early deaths of most of these talented young wrestlers is drugs.
Great tribute. No doubt that first back injury stopped his career in its tracks in the WWF. Had he been healthy, I have no doubt he would have been in a top spot for the WWF strap in the '96-2000 timeframe. Instead, WCW squandered the opportunity when they had Curt turn on the horsemen in Winston-Salem, NC and he became another faceless member of the NWO. I think this was a key turning point when fans started to switch over from a declining WCW to RAW for good.

Great wrestler, great competitor, but taken far too soon? Nah, anytime you mix steroids and recreational drugs, you're going to be checking out of time sooner than expected. I read somewhere that Terry Taylor was originally offered The Mr. Perfect gimmick but turned it down, Curt was PERFECT for the role.

They should have given him the strap when he had the feud with Flair. Why they gave it to Hart and not him I have not clue.
@hoganschoice
10 ай бұрын
It's a shame. If I had to take a guess I would think personal habits and a nagging back injury at the time prevented a run with the strap. WWF was being dragged through the mud over rampant steroid use and Vince needed a whiter than white guy at the top to help shift the public perception. H

To be honest after he left wwf for wcw he was never the same wrestler. He was totally overated
good sense of humour too lol so funny watching him be so arrogant. He was a great wrestler but a coke addict as we all know.
*THE HATEFUL 8* *Rick Flair* Macho Man Rick Rude *Mr Perfect* Jake the *Snake* Brett Hart Shawn Michael's *Andre The GIANT*
Too much coke
He did not fit in well in wcw.
What? Rap is crap. 😮
