Curt Hennig was truly perfect, but his career was not, since he never became a WWE Champion. “Mr. Perfect” was a two-time Intercontinental Champion, and he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. He was the complete package, as he was a natural in the ring, an athletic freak, and he possessed charisma.

Hennig lived up to his gimmick as he was perfect inside the squared circle. He could play as a babyface, but was better as a heel. He is also the only superstar who can make spitting his gum out and swatting it while in the air look cool. It is a real shame that he never held the WWE championship.

“Mr. Perfect” never got over the hump since Hulk Hogan dominated the WWE in the late 80s. A back injury in the early 90s really hurt his push, as he was sidelined for almost two years. The only time he ever came close to the WWE Championship was being a special guest referee for WWE title matches on a number of occasions, which was a real letdown.
