Not even today? You realize today's wrestling stars are shit right? They are nothing compared to old school wrestlers. They are circus performers who just choreograph entire shit Matches. They dnt call it in ring. They are soft and fragile. Weak and soft.
It truly is sad how most of these wrestlers are dead. I grew up watching all these legends. Just imagine how better wrestling would be if we had a lot of these greats still around to mentor future wrestlers and even have roles in the shows.
dang, I didn't know he died...what could a man like him die of?! oh he was a cocaine loser...nm, thanks for telling me hes dead. I would have probably thought he was some one worth looking up to the rest of my life. Hes just a loser, rip
Hennig had it all: great in-ring moves, perfect in-ring performance, a great character, a great look, solid on the mic... He didn't quite have that babyface sparkle, but was an evergreen heel and crowds loved him as a tweener. He could carry almost anyone to a watchable match.
due to him being so good when he was the IC champion he made it bigger than the World title match so kudos to him for that RIP he was so great in the ring
I'm 39... And I still feel like a young boy watching those guys in the early 90s. There's no fucking way they were in their early 20's. They all look like grown ass men.
i hated Mr Perfect as a Kid, as an adult (still a kid inside watching this) i cant help but admire him for who he was as a character and a wrestler and im proud of the fact i came up in that era, some legendary wrestlers the likes of which we will never see again.. What a privilege
My childhood wwf idol..In Accade Game Wrestle fest I play Mr. Perfect and Warrior .😊 Mr.Perfect , Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels was wrestlers IC T belt was equal in Prestige WWF champion .Rip legend .Greeting from Bulgaria 🇧🇬
I remember when i first tuned into wwf back in early 80's on Usa network when cable tv hit our area we saw Saturday night main event on nbc for few years but no USA network till around 84/85 and Mr.Perfect was a kool concept and he played it well and should have been world champ but he was a great intercontinental champ.
you're right....there's a lot of inaccuracies. Curt Hennig never won the WCW heavy weight championship...so its far from perfect even without that being a lame reference...
Absolutely Perfect… except you left out how every time he’d finish a promo he’d spit out his gum and smack mid-air to show his perfect hand eye coordination. Only missed once that I can remember.
When you're a kid, all of this shit is just pure magic. You only care about good guys and bad guys. So you misremember how important what you were lucky to witness was. And right now, I just got that feeling. I have gotten to witness a match where Mr Perfect, Macho Man, Razor Ramon, and Ric Flair worked together. If that isn't physically witnessing the different eras melding together. It makes me feel like those weird facts you hear sometime - like when you learn that Abe Lincoln was already 12 years old when Napoleon died.
The Intercontinental title tournament took place because The Warrior vacated the championship after winning the WWF title. The Warrior had not departed at that time.
I find it amusing that some people thought you could open those doors. They are pressurized and impossible to open at altitude. There's a reason nobody has ever heard of such an accident, you know some drunk would have opened them to get some fresh air or someone doing it on a dare etc. I think Mr. Perfect should have kept from overselling, hard to believe someone will be spinning around in the air from a slap to the face. And it always happened with him and nobody else.
Hennig should have been as successful as Bret Hart, he had a glass ceiling because he had been AWA World Champion. Vince didn't want his champion showed up. Only Flair overcame that stigma in the Hogan era, but only after dozens of humiliating defeats by Hogan.
I just saw an interview yesterday in which Bret named the top five wrestlers he's worked with, one of them being Kurt Hennig (in addition to himself 😅).
Very good documentary on one of my favorites to ever wrestle. One note: he was never WCW Workd Champion. Only US Champ. Shame though. I always wanted him to be WWF and WCW champ.
I got to touch him walkjng by at an event in syracuse ny and could of got his gum but i hesitated 1 second and thankfully someone else snatched it up i remember my hand sliding right of his arm
but you don't have to forfeit titles because you already have another one because that's not how championships or titles work...because because..I mean cause, cause...unless you're a cruiser weight and go to heavy weight. No longer being in the weight class is the only reason why
C'mon gotta put some respect on somebody's name in here, and IMHO that begins and ends with needing to refer to a highly seasoned big name in the wrestling game?!!!!! JIMMY "SUPA FLY" SNUKA for real for real
I swear, you been a crap fan the whole time...Its Curt Hennig. It's ALWAYS been Curt Hennig. But I hated the guy so I never really cared that most his fake fans have been calling him the wrong name for deckades. It's made it even funnier, person they idolize, glorify and adore...and they don't even know how to pronounce his name, it's only showed it on Nitro how many times and you still get it wrong when you're so good, the only fans you have are the type that don't even know you're name, wow.
@@ravinraven6913 you sound so smart arguing over a misspelled last name. His name is spelled Henning. I could give two shits and a fuck less about your feelings about the subject. And that's the truth. If you felt like you needed to comment , just know that you could just have easily STFU and kept scrolling.
Personally, he wasn't my type of wrestler. The gimmick was lame imo. And then when he went to WCW it took me years to find out that his name was Curt Hennig and not Curt Henning. I had no interest watching him in WWF and to me he had no place in wcw. Too many "big names" and not enough actually happening outside...a ratio of what almost 60% ended in DQ? so lame, the only matches they really let happen were the cruiser weights, because there was no story there. howd he die? oh...acute cocaine addiction...right, he wasn't a role model at all. With all respects to some one who has passed..f him, he got everything he deserved and more. You always Reap what you sow
How many professional wrestlers were good role models? They were human. Many of them had serious problems. Curt Hennig was extremely skilled and entertaining. You probably didn't get into wrestling until the late 90s. I saw Curt back in 1981 when he was a young jobber in the WWF. He was an amazing athlete. He also loved his family and was a good father to his kids. Sure, he had a terrible drug addiction and unfortunately it ended his life.
In my opinion there's no one not even today that could match Mr Perfect in the ring apart from Bret hart ...r.i.p perfect one
Or the Warlord

@@tdizzle7812😄
Very true indeed
There'll never be another one like him
Mr.Pefect should have won
The WWF world title,it's very sad,he was awesome.
It truly is sad how most of these wrestlers are dead. I grew up watching all these legends. Just imagine how better wrestling would be if we had a lot of these greats still around to mentor future wrestlers and even have roles in the shows.
“Immaculate” Mr. Perfect true legend
❤Mr perfect one of my favorites,and in my eyes has the smoothest dropped kick Ever!
I concur! I always thought he had a hell of a drop kick.
Absolutely. Koko b Ware had a sick dropkick too
The perfectplex was my favourite move ever.
Perfect and flair are the goats
The match against Bret Hart may not have been the main event, but it was one of the best matches I ever saw.
Yeah that and macho vs steamboat
@@misshurricanetoyaisback Oh, that one is second to none!
I agree
@@misshurricanetoyaisbackTugboat right?

R.I.P Curt "Mr Perfect" Hennig 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊🕊

It's crazy how a lot of wrestlers in the 80, 90, died young 😢 rip my favorite wrestling era. The new wrestling cannot out shine them never!
Mr. Perfect was perfectly so good. One of my favorite villains in wrestle love his character
due to him being so good when he was the IC champion he made it bigger than the World title match so kudos to him for that RIP he was so great in the ring
Mr Perfect vs Bret was one of the best matches start to finish. He ws a more well rounded wrestler than alot of the top stars like Hogan
His back was knackered during Summer Slam 91
His Mr Perfect persona came off very real, especially when watching as a 10-year-old kid, the timing couldn't be more perfect.
6:26 Hey! Look at that Mr Perfect is making the Hardcore Championship. Cool! 😎
The most legendary Troll too❤️😂❤️
He was my favorite wrestler...
Great work on these videos!!! Keep em coming.
I got to see Curt Hennig wrestle live and he was amazing.
I'm 39... And I still feel like a young boy watching those guys in the early 90s. There's no fucking way they were in their early 20's. They all look like grown ass men.
I remember when Curt attacked Rocky Mountain Thunder from behind and it took me ages to find out that Thunder is actually JBL!!!😮
i hated Mr Perfect as a Kid, as an adult (still a kid inside watching this) i cant help but admire him for who he was as a character and a wrestler and im proud of the fact i came up in that era, some legendary wrestlers the likes of which we will never see again.. What a privilege

He's still perfect to me ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️

Mr. Perfect.... The name says it all👍💯 The perfect athlete. R.I.P. Curt Hennig😇💗
Mr perfect wrestling national treasure
He has been my favourite since I first saw him when he came to the WWF.
Maybe Bret Hart can match up to him, but he truly is the goat in my opinion
This video was great but it wasn't perfect 😉
you're right....there's a lot of inaccuracies. Curt Hennig never won the WCW heavy weight championship...so its far from perfect even without that being a lame reference...
Everything with Mr Perfect in it was perfection personified.
That sumerslam 91 match with Brett was the best match I've seen....easily
He was us heavyweight champion not the wcw champion
How did he manage to have good relationships with his wife and kids when he was on coke, sterioids and painkillers?!
Good question.
What a worker.........
As a kid, he really had me convinced he was "Perfect". 😂😂😂
He was an excellent "Saturday morning heel"
Absolutely Perfect… except you left out how every time he’d finish a promo he’d spit out his gum and smack mid-air to show his perfect hand eye coordination. Only missed once that I can remember.
Only 1 thing is missing from this video....Kurt spitting the gum out and swatting it. Other than that, it was perfect.
can you not spell his name properly? Curt, not kurt....
@@ravinraven6913 can you not appreciate the art of swatting the gum and the fact that someone notices its importance.....
We're here to swat gum and toss the towel. This is not a spelling bee.
Haha yea man Mr. Perfect had moves !!! So sad he died so young RIP Perfect one !!!!...

Kurt would sell shots like no one else.
Admit it, you know you tried the Mr perfect gum slap thing. I STILL do. 😁😆 Why did he NOT hold a world title (In WWE)??
The Intercontinental title tournament took place because The Warrior vacated the championship after winning the WWF title. The Warrior had not departed at that time.

Imagine a match today between Curt Hennig in his prime vs Randy Orton.
no offense, its bad to speak ill of the dead, but that be gey af.
thepalatrpro-And imagine Curt vs the other Kurt in their primes! Against Kurt Angle.😊
Very good documentary on one of my favorites to ever wrestle. One note: he was never WCW Workd Champion. Only US Champ. Shame though. I always wanted him to be WWF and WCW champ.
Good callout, thanks.
Curt Hennig never wore the WCW Heavyweight Championship get the facts right
it was already a joke title, if he had gotten it, it would have been even more worthless when WWF bought them out.
On the night of No Way Out 2003, Johnathan Coachman announced his death.
Fun fact at 6:25 MR P smashing the belt, that belt became the hard core championship belt!
It was in AWA.
I guess he wasn't so 'Perfect'
Mr. Perfect =G.O.A.T
How many stars from wwf/wwe have died fat to early? Almost seems like a pattern...make vm mad and its over
😆 7:00 he uses his hands to back himself up to the turnbuckle . . How did i like this oh i was 7
Who played "the coach"?
John Tolos
@@Wrestling_Lore thanks, I just don't remember him.
hulk hogan you can't do this!!
I got to touch him walkjng by at an event in syracuse ny and could of got his gum but i hesitated 1 second and thankfully someone else snatched it up i remember my hand sliding right of his arm
I thought he won the ic title cause Warrior had to forfeit the IC title cause he won the world title from Hogan at WM6?
Exactly!
but you don't have to forfeit titles because you already have another one because that's not how championships or titles work...because because..I mean cause, cause...unless you're a cruiser weight and go to heavy weight. No longer being in the weight class is the only reason why
They could dig up Curt’s corpse and he would still have a better match than Hogan, Warrior, or Brutus ever had.
He's not buried

Pay off the Jose candy.
That does not happen much a second-generation wrestler who was better than the first
Is it me, or do these people think wrestling is real? 😅
Thing is how do you work your way up the ladder when wrestling is clearly scripted and fake 🤷🏻♂️
10:39 he didn't capture the heavyweight championship. He became the U.S. champion.
Right some Information is well off buddy. Just to say

Too many "big names" and not enough actually happening outside...a ratio of what almost 60% ended in DQ? so lame, the only matches they really let happen were the cruiser weights, because there was no story there.
