Curtis Michael "Curt" Hennig (March 28, 1958 – February 10, 2003), also known by the ring name Mr. Perfect, was an American professional wrestler, manager and color commentator who worked for, among other promotions, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), the American Wrestling Association (AWA), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). He was the son of wrestler Larry "The Axe" Hennig, and father to current WWE superstar Michael McGillicutty.
Among other accolades, he is a four-time world champion: one-time AWA World Heavyweight Champion (reigning for over a year), one-time WWC Universal Heavyweight Champion, and two-time i-Generation World Heavyweight Champion; and two-time WWF Intercontinental Champion. Considered one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions of all time,Hennig was the longest-reigning champion of the 1990s and has been credited with helping bring the importance of the Intercontinental Championship close to that of the WWF Championship during the decade. Although recurring back problems prevented Hennig from being considered for a WWF Championship reign,he challenged for the title and enjoyed success in managerial and color commentary roles when inactive from in-ring competition. In addition to championship success in WCW in the late 1990s, he was also a member of the New World Order and later, wrestling stable and country music group, West Texas Rednecks, who recorded their infamous, tongue-in-cheek song, "Rap is Crap."Hennig returned to the WWF for a brief period in 2002, being one of the last three men remaining at that year's Royal Rumble. He later wrestled for TNA, challenging for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, prior to his death on February 10, 2003.
Described by WWE as a "tremendous talent" and "one of the best in-ring technicians of his generation",Hennig was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007 by former Major League Baseball third baseman, and longtime friend, Wade Boggs. A number of Hennig's peers consider him to be one of, if not the, greatest in-ring performers of all time.
