If the internet had existed during the time, Curt Hennig aka Mr Perfect would have excelled in the role of the IWC favourite. Just like he did in everything else. Whether it was in the ring, at the commentary desk or even as the ‘executive consultant’ for Ric Flair, Hennig was just perfect in every single way.

Because his gimmick wasn't over the top and overblown like a lot of other gimmicks from the time, Mr Perfect would have fared perfectly in today's WWE environment. We don't even need to discuss the amazing matches he would have had, against the talent of today! With Bobby Heenan by his side, his segments were just pure magic!
