Favorite Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig Moments

Vince135792003

Any time he wrestled Bret Hart was an absolute treat. Its hard to say which of their matches was better, the one at Summerslam '91 or at King of the Ring '93.

Probably my favorite moment was at Survivor Series '92 when he returned to the ring and turned good teaming with Savage against Flair and Ramon. He was the kinda guy that was a really good bad guy but when his turn came, you were dieing to cheer him also.

I didn't watch the WWF while he was there in the early 90's, but I saw a lot of his stuff before he returned at the Rumble 5 years ago. That was a really big moment in my mind, and he made it down to the final 4, I was rooting for him to win, although I was sure HHH would

It's been a while since I saw his match against Bret at Summerslam, but I watched their KOTR match just a couple of weeks ago, and that was an amazing match. I'd probably put that down as my favourite, it was just so good

They have that match up on Youtube and the promos before it are all brilliant. Perfect cuts a great babyface promo in it:

My fav moment is probably the match he had with Bret at Summerslam as Bret has said Hennig was hurting prior to that match yet he still put on a really great bout.

Who do you all think should induct Curt Hennig? I think it will be either Heenan or Flair. Ric Flair would probably be my choice. (Well Bret really but that won't happen)

Double C

Id say it will either be Larry Hennig or Flair. Larry appears in alot of WWE's DVD's and the Father/son thing seems to be a trend in the HOF. That being said, lets hope Goldust doesn't induct Dusty!

My personal favourite Perfect match was against Bret at Summerslam.

^ That footage with Heenan is classic!!

I'd say Heenan will induct him and his dad will accept the award.

His loser leaves Raw match with Flair was great too.

Also when he had a run against Hogan in the late '80s was special if only for wacky bumps he took.

It probably will be Heenan who inducts him I think. Dusty Rhodes son is inducting him I heard, but it's Cody Runnels, who wrestles in OVW at the moment. Dustin might be doing it too though, I forget what I heard there

I'll check that match out later for sure

I think that has more to do with the era than your memory. In the mid 1980's WWF wrestling was alot of times secondary particuliarly when the top 2 good guys were Hogan and Warrior. Thats not to say there weren't good matches but it wasn't the be all and end all like it maybe is today.

I remember the Bret match alright and also when he was Flair's assistant, specifically after Hulk Hogan's defeat to the Undertaker.
