'''[[Curt Hennig]]''' was a wrestler in the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] in the early '90's. During this time he performed under the Mr. Perfect gimmick and was, and still is, considered to be one of the best technical wrestlers in [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] history. He held the AWA World Championship, the Intercontinental Championship twice and has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Briefly competed in [[TNA]] when it was still a division of the NWA. He passed away in 2003 from acute cocaine intoxication.

Line 33:
** The skills he shows in his vignettes are all real, but Curt needed to not know the camera was running in order to pull them off.
* [[Role-Ending Misdemeanor]]: His career was littered with incidents of drug use and drunkenness (it's no coincidence that he used to tag-team with [[Scott Hall]]), so it's no surprise that his drunken brawl with [[Brock Lesnar]] on a plane ended his second WWE stint.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: His classic [[WWEWorld Wrestling Entertainment|WWF]] theme was a knock-off of ''Theme from Exodus''.
** He used ''Theme from Exodus'' for a period after his debut before it was changed.
* [[Theatrics of Pain]]: He had the ability to make his opponents look much better than they were. This was probably why he was used more to put lesser talents over rather than being a Main Eventer.
