## Curt Hennig/Mr.Perfect

 Roster
 3-Retiring Ric Flair at Starrcade 1997

## Feud with Bret Hart(1988-1989)

Mr.Perfect debuted at Superstars 133 defeating Honky Tonk Man. At SNME May he defeated Jake Roberts, a former WWF champion, as a way to show off. He was in the MITB ladder match but failed to win. At King of the Ring, he defeated Sting in the finals to win it all, he faced off against Bret Hart who was now coming up with 2 years of his IC title reign and seemed undefeatable.

At Summerslam, the IC title main evented for the first time with Bret Hart vs Mr.Perfect in front of a canadian crowd, Perfect won with the help of the debuting Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard ending Bret's 728 day IC title reign. Arn, Tully and Perfect formed The Ringmasters

At G1 Finals, Bret had his rematch and if anyone interfered on Perfect's behalf, the title would go back to Bret. Bret locks in the sharpshooter but Perfect gets out of it by punching him with brass knuckles getting DQ'd in the process. At Survivor Series, The Ringmasters faced Bret Hart and The Rockers in a winner take all for the tag team and IC titles, Perfect barely did any work and relied on his team to retain. At SNME December, he retained against The Mountie. At the Rumble, Bret had his final shot but it ended in a double countout as both men kept beating each other up out of the ring, Bret still managed to win a battle royal to face Perfect at Wrestlemania 5. In the event, Bret Hart defeated Mr.Perfect in a 2 out of 3 falls to win back the title.

## Face turn and feud with Natural Disasters(1989-1990)

At SNME May, Perfect held an open challenge which the debuting Earthquake and Typhoon answered destroying Perfect in the process slowly building a face turn for Perfect who was getting bigger and bigger crowd reactions. At King of the Ring, Perfect defeated Earthquake.

At G1 Finals, Perfect randomly attacked One Man Gang during an IC title match, his reasoning was that OMG was big and he mistook him for Typhoon but this put Twin Towers(Big Boss Man and One Man Gang) also feuding with Mr.Perfect, Perfect gathered Arn and Tully and had to pick another partner. At Survivor Series, his partner was Bret Hart as all of Ringmasters completed their face turn and defeated Twin Towers and Natural Disasters.

At SNME December, he had an IC title match against Rick Rude but it ended in a DQ as Natural Disasters beat up all the men in the ring, the main event was set to be Hogan defending the WWF title against Arn Anderson but Arn was a bit injured so Perfect replaced him, he lost in his first ever WWF Championship match.

At Wrestlemania 6, this feud ended as Perfect was gonna face Natural Disasters in a handicap match but Kerry Von Erich, renamed as Texas Tornado, debuted and they won the tag match

## Second iteration of Ringmasters(1990-1991)

Perfect and Texas Tornado started teaming up as a second version of The Ringmasters as Arn and Tully left WWF after Wrestlemania 6, he was involved in the King of the Ring and managed to advance onto the finals but he was defeated by British Bulldog, he wanted to shake hands with him but Bulldog left.

Ringmasters demanded a tag title shot and it was given to them at Summerslam in the form of a fatal 4 way match which The Rockers ended up winning. In the same show, Koko retained the IC title against Bulldog and afterwards Ringmasters came out saying that if Bulldog joined them, they could go to unimaginable heights never seen in wrestling, Bulldog turns heel as he lowblows Perfect and aligns himself with Dusty Rhodes who attacks Tornado

At the G1, Rick Martel defeated Perfect by countout which caused Perfect to lose points and be included in the sudden death match which he ended up losing and being eliminated by Texas Tornado, at G1 Finals Perfect got his revenge defeating Martel.

At Survivor Series, Perfect defeated British Bulldog but immediatly got attacked by Dusty, Tornado saved him but then Jim Neidhart also attacked them which led to Bret saving Ringmasters. This all led to a 3 on 3 match at Royal Rumble 1991 where Bret Hart, Mr.Perfect and Texas Tornado defeated Dusty Rhodes, British Bulldog and Jim Neidhart. Leading up to Wrestlemania, Dusty turned on Bulldog, Bulldog defeated him at the show and afterwards Ringmasters accepted him into their stable

Roddy Piper also wanted to join Ringmasters and Perfect gave him an ultimatum, all he had to do was simply have a great match against Bushwhacker Butch at Summerslam and he would be on their stable because that's what it meant to be a ringmaster, stealing the show day in night out no matter who the opponent is. At Summerslam, Perfect and Tornado shook hands with Piper after his match signaling that he was in, later on the night British Bulldog defeated Savage to win the IC title, Ringmasters celebrated but they turned heel as Perfect beat up Bulldog, Piper comes out to also do it but they also beat him up replacing him with Bret Hart

## Heel turn and Ringmasters fallout(1991-1992)

At SNME September, Roddy Piper, Haku and Bulldog defeated The Ringmasters in 3 on 3 action. This fourth iteration of The Ringmasters didn't last long as at RAW 6, Perfect and Tornado fought in a sudden death match which Perfect won to eliminate Tornado, Tornado was pissed and beat him up, Bret tried to stop them but eventually he was caught up in the brawl as well ending Ringmasters

At G1 Finals, Tornado was scheduled to have an IC title match against Bulldog but Perfect attacked him beforehand and won the title himself for his 2nd reign. At Survivor Series he retained against Tornado but he wasn't as lucky at RAW 17 as Tornado got the rollup win to become champion.

A Ringmasters fatal 4 way was made for Royal Rumble 1992 where Bret Hart defeated Tornado, British Bulldog and Perfect to win the IC title. Bulldog, Tornado and Perfect had a triple threat match at Wrestlemania 8 to determine who was the best of the best which Perfect got the win

## RAW run and feud with Hulk Hogan(1992-1993)

When the draft started, Perfect was picked as the 5th RAW pick. On the first RAW of the brand split, he worked as a face yet again as it was clear the crowd loved him. He defeated Sycho Sid, Papa Shango and Roddy Piper in a fatal 4 way to be in the inaugural european title match but at In Your House 1 he ended up being defeated by Bret's brother Owen Hart. Perfect congratulated his win calling Owen the future of the company

At King of the Ring, Perfect defeated Luger in the finals to win it and he's facing Owen Hart at Summerslam for the european title, Owen wants to shake hands with Perfect but Perfect stares him down. Perfect presented himself as King Perfect on the RAW afterwards but Jerry Lawler debuted and defeated him as he proclaimed he was Jerry "The King" Lawler

At Summerslam, Owen Hart made Perfect tap out in a 15 minute time limit submission match to retain the title, both men shook hands afterwards. At RAW 46, he was involved in a fatal 4 way to determine the NO1 contender for the WWF championship, he perfectplexed Hogan right onto Owen but as he flexed about it he didnt realize Hogan was pinning Owen as he got the win like that. WWF Champion Koko agreed that Perfect should have won so he put the title on the line in a triple threat. At In Your House 4, Hogan defeated Koko and Perfect to win the WWF Championship

Perfect proclaimed that he simply wants to beat what was once the greatest star here in WWF, Hulk Hogan. This obsession with Hulk Hogan led to him turning heel again at RAW 53 during a 4 on 4 match where Perfect attacked Hogan leading to their loss. Perfect started costing Hulk Hogan title matches just to get a match against him. At Royal Rumble 1993 he finally managed to defeat him clean.

Hogan wanted another match against Perfect because he feels like he's gotta beat Perfect.Perfect of course kept refusing since he already beat him,Hogan tried costing Perfect matches but not even that would lead to him accepting until Hogan dropped his best and most emotional promo to date as he revealed that if he cant beat Perfect in this match,he will leave world wrestling federation,everyone who started hating Hogan was now supporting him again but at Wrestlemania 9 Hogan cant manage to do it and Perfect on his 4th perfectplex says he's sorry and ends his career on the WWF

## Various feuds(1993-1994)

At RAW 75, Perfect said he was not proud of what he had done but Hogan put himself in that situation, Owen came out and said that he hated what Perfect had become, Owen started getting cocky saying he had held this european title for a year and Perfect KNOWS he can't beat him so he's not even gonna try anymore, he kept taunting him until Perfect accepted one more match against him. At In Your House 6, Owen defeated Perfect in a lumberjack match.

Perfect only returned in july as a babyface as he challenged Ric Flair to put his WWF Championship shot on the line, Flair picked up the win. At Summerslam, he defeated Lex Luger to be in the G1, in the triple threat elimination match Perfect eliminated Kid but Shawn rolled him up to win RAW block. At G1 Finals, Perfect cost Shawn the G1 as he perfectplexed him and let Sid pin him

At Survivor Series, he was the captain of team RAW as him, Shawn, Lex Luger and Diesel defeated team Smackdown of King Kong Bundy, Ludvig Borga, Adam Bomb and Doink The Clown, afterwards Shawn immediatly SCM'd Perfect. Due to the Survivor Series Lottery, Perfect got a tag title shot along with Diesel, at In Your House 10 they were defeated by The Quebecers. At Royal Rumble 1994, this feud ended as Shawn defeated Perfect

Mr.Perfect was traded to Smackdown for Steiner Brothers at Smackdown 83, he immediatly asked for an IC title shot and won a fatal 5 way to get it. At Wrestlemania 10, Jake Roberts defeated Perfect to retain the IC title in an extreme rules match

## Breaking both Harts record breaking reigns(1994-1995)

Perfect took a break until Smackdown 91 where he answered Owen Hart's european title open challenge, Owen was 2 days away from breaking the record of Bret Hart's 728 day IC title reign but he had to defend his title one last time before it, Perfect defeated Owen ending his european title reign at 726 days, Owen was pissed and turned heel. At In Your House 11, Perfect had his first defense beating Hakushi

At King of the Ring, Perfect was defending his european title against Razor Ramon when Owen interfered and cost him the title, due to this Perfect came out during the KOTR finals of Owen Hart vs 123 Kid and cost Owen the finals. This all led to a match at Summerslam 1994 where the loser was forced to leave WWF until the rumble, Perfect won in a 5 star match.

Perfect was on Team Smackdown also involving Barry Horowitz, Undertaker and Bam Bam Bigelow as they defeated Luger, Jim Neidhart, Tatanka and Bob Backlund. Due to the Survivor Series Lottery, Perfect got a world heaviweight championship match but he decided to abdicate it as he felt like Horowitz was the only one who could defeat world heaviweight champion Doink The Clown, Horowitz refused the abdication as he said he only needed to face Doink 1 on 1, it didnt need to be a title match. Harley Race gave it to him at In Your House 15 and Perfect would get his world title shot at the rumble.

At Royal Rumble 1995, it was Mr.Perfect vs Shawn Michaels for the vacant world title after Horowitz and Doink killed each other, Shawn ended up winning but after the match Owen returned and cashed in and won the title. Perfect entered the rumble at number 25 and lastly eliminated Ramon to win the whole thing

The brand split ended after the rumble causing both world titles to have to be unified so Vince Mcmahon made for Wrestlemania 11 WWF Champion Bret Hart vs World Heaviweight champion Owen Hart vs Royal Rumble Winner Mr.Perfect in a triple threat. Bret ended up retaining the title and winning the world title.

After Wrestlemania, Perfect set his sights as he had ended Bret’s record breaking 728 day IC title reign so now he wanted to end Bret’s record breaking 800+ day WWF Championship reign, he defeated Owen Hart at In Your House 16 to become NO1 contender and at Summerslam he finally achieved his dream in a 5 star match as Perfect ended Bret's 847 day WWF title reign and won the title.

## WWF Championship reign and departure from WWF(1995-1996)

Perfect says he has nothing but respect for all of the Hart Family, Bret had his rematch at In Your House 18 which was another 5 star match as Perfect retained. Perfect defended against Diesel at G1 Finals and then faced G1 winner Owen Hart at Survivor Series, in the match Bret came out to help out Owen who didn't want his help, Bret proceeded to chairshot Owen which led to Perfect's win

At WAR 2, the moment that officially kickstarted the true monday night wars happened as Perfect was having a match against WCW Heaviweight champion Sting, it was scheduled for Sting to win so the event could end in a draw but as Perfect hit the perfectplex, the ref counted the pinfall fast as hell so Perfect could win in a complete screwjob, Perfect was pissed pushing off a bunch of security as he didnt know this was gonna happen

Perfect retained the title against Bret Hart at Royal Rumble 1996  and gave notice to Vince that he wanted to leave after Wrestlemania 12 because of what had happened at WAR 2. At Wrestlemania 12, Vader defeated Perfect to win the title in Perfect's last match

## New World Order and getting kicked out(1997)

At Nitro 147, after Ric Flair defeated Kevin Nash to win the WCW Heaviweight title, Curt Hennig made his debut as he stared at Flair's belt, Hennig immediatly challenged for the belt at Uncensored, NWO showed up to beat them both up but Hennig backstabbed Flair turning heel as he joined NWO and became WCW Heaviweight champion.

NWO's own Scott Hall got a title match against Hennig at Slamboree but he lost. Arn Anderson's The Resistance debuted wanting to destroy NWO, at Great American Bash, Randy Savage, Los Guerreros and Steiner Brothers defeated Scott Hall, Hollywood Hogan, Kevin Nash, Curt Hennig and Syxx in a war games match in NWO's first group loss since they debuted a year earlier, due to the stipulation this meant that all of The Resistance would get WCW Heaviweight title matches. On the Nitro after, NWO kicked out Hennig as Eric Bischoff made Hennig vs Hollywood Hogan which Hogan easily won to win the WCW Heaviweight title

## Feud against Ric Flair and NWO Wolfpac(1997-1998)

Hennig wasn't accepted by The Resistance as they thought this was an NWO ploy so Hennig could destroy them from within. Hennig didn't care that no group would accept him as he would end NWO all by himself, he wanted to prove himself as a good guy, Ric Flair came out and insulted Hennig. At Bash at the Beach, Flair kept using cheap moves and taunting Hennig as Hennig started becoming more agressive with Flair as well, Hennig had enough and chairshots Flair ending their match in a DQ as Flair managed to get his agressive side to come out and now Hennig might never be seen as a good guy again

NWO attacked Flair's son, David Flair and told Hennig that if he destroyed him in a match right now, he would get a title shot, Hennig started the match with a suicide dive towards NWO refusing to do anything to Flair's son. Ric Flair says he still doesn't trust Hennig, Hennig asks what he has to do to get people's trusts, Flair said all he had to do was take the title off of Hogan's hands and then hand it to Ric Flair which Hennig refused so they brawled.

At Nitro 168, Hennig answered Konnan's open challenge and won the US Championship, at Fall Brawl Ric Flair interfered and Hennig lost the title back to Konnan.

Ric Flair says the only way he'll stop taunting Hennig is if one of them leaves WCW. At Nitro 179, they main evented as David Flair showed up to lowblow Hennig, Ric Flair also lowblowed him and won the match like this. Hennig took it out on Flair doing a promo saying that he didn't make a good decision when he joined WCW but he tried to redeem himself since then, but there's 1 main factor that's not letting him get the respect of the people backstage and that's Ric Flair, he laid out that Ric Flair knows he's not the main face of WCW, just the main veteran and he cannot bear the thought that he needs to retire just like his former friends Barry Windham and Arn Anderson, Perfect challenges Flair to a career threatening match and Flair calmly accepts as he knows what Hennig said is true.

At Starrcade 1997, Hennig defeated Flair in a steel cage match to end Flair's career

At Nitro 192, the NWO Civil Wars began as Scott Hall proclaimed he didn't want anything with Hogan's side NOR Nash's side as he teamed up with Curt Hennig and formed his own group, Hall announced his group as NWO Wolfpac, along the months they introduced more people to their group like Meng, Public Enemy and Davey Boy Smith but eventually every single WCW member chose an NWO group.

This all led to World War 3 1998 where the NWO Civil Wars came to an end with a wargames match as NWO Wolfpac(Scott Hall, Curt Hennig, Sting, Meng and Rob Van Dam) defeated NWO Hollywood(Hollywood Hogan, Randy Savage, Konnan, The Great Muta and The Giant) and NWO Chaos(Kevin Nash, HHH, Bret Hart, Vampiro and Scott Steiner) in a wargames match to become the sole NWO standing and win all the title shots at Starrcade 98

## Various feuds(1999-)

Hennig left Wolfpac shortly after as he was pissed that Hall chose DDP as the man who would get the WCW heaviweight title shot instead of him, DDP said he didn't like the way Hall handled this either so he gave him a match against DDP, if Hennig won he'd be involved in the title match but DDP won

Hennig was unexpicably back on Wolfpac and aiding Hall after Starrcade as they turned heel beating up DDP after winning the title. At Nitro 241, Hennig, Dean Malenko and Sting joined Bret Hart as NWO Wolfpac was split in 2 yet again. At Nitro 244, he announced that he was out of every group as he wanted to focus on singles action again, he defeated David Flair on the same show. A week afterwards, with Ric Flair's management, David rolled up Hennig and used the ropes to win

Ric Flair came out of retirement at Nitro 247 as he challenged Hennig to a match, Hennig accepted but the match was cancelled for some reason, the week afterwards they had their match in the opener which Ric won

David and Hennig were forced to team up in the tag tournament for the vacant tag titles, they were eliminated in the semi finals by Kevin Nash and Alex Wright.
