Curtis Michael "Curt" Hennig (March 28, 1958 – February 10, 2003), also known by the ring name Mr. Perfect, was an American professional wrestler who competed for the promotions of American Wrestling Association, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling and most notably World Wrestling Federation. Hennig has the distinction of being the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of the 1990s, and is also a former World Heavyweight Champion, United States Champion and World Tag Team Champion.

Mr. Perfect went on to win the vacant Intercontinental Title in the final round of a tournament in April 1990 by defeating two-time Intercontinental Champion Tito Santana
He lost the belt to The Texas Tornado at SummerSlam 1990.[8][7] He regained the title in November thanks to interference from Ted DiBiase and held it until August 1991, dropping the belt to Bret Hart at SummerSlam
Perfect  eliminated Flair from the 1993 Royal Rumble and defeated Flair the next night on Monday Night Raw in a "Loser Leaves the WWF Match.
Perfect was responsible for coining Michaels' moniker, "The Heartbreak Kid."
Hennig also competed in the 1993 King of the Ring tournament, losing in the semi-finals to Bret Hart.
At WrestleMania X, Mr. Perfect was a special guest referee for the title match between Lex Luger and Yokozuna.[14] Perfect disqualified Luger after Lex put his hands on him, instead of counting the pin

Hennig made his official WCW debut at Bash at the Beach '97 as Diamond Dallas Page's mystery tag-team partne
Two months after he joined the nWo, his childhood friend, Rick Rude, was also brought in. Hennig won the United States Title from Steve McMichael in September 1997 and defended it by defeating many superstars like Ric Flair, Lex Luger, The Giant, Chris Benoit, Jeff Jarrett, and Diamond Dallas Page to name a few before losing it to Page in December of that year at Starrcade.
During the build up for January's Royal Rumble, it was announced that Mr. Perfect would be returning as one of the 30 combatants. Mr. Perfect entered the Royal Rumble at #25, and was one of the final three competitors before being eliminated by Triple H. Mr. Perfect made a strong showing at the Rumble, hitting the "Perfect-Plex" on Kurt Angle and holding his own with the WWF's best at the time.


On February 10, 2003, Hennig was found dead in a Florida hotel room. He was 44 years old. The Tampa Coroner's office and the Tampa Medical Examiner's office declared an acute cocaine intoxication as the official cause of his death. His father said painkillers contributed to his death.

Wade Boggs, who famously appeared in a vignette with Hennig and was a close friend of his, inducted him into the WWE Hall of Fame on March 31, 2007. His wife, his four kids, and his parents accepted the award on his behalf.
