Deserves to be in the Hall of Fame #2: Curt Hennig

The man known by millions as Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig is already in the WWE Hall of Fame on his own merit. However, his pivotal role in the NWO should warrant his inclusion with the group.

Curt Hennig was the lynchpin of one of the NWO's greatest and most successful schemes; the destruction of the Four Horsemen. Hennig was courted by Ric Flair for months, as the Nature Boy saw him as a natural member of the Horsemen. However, Hennig kept refusing the offer, though he was careful to show respect to Flair.

Finally, the retirement of Arn Anderson, and Anderson's heartfelt speech led to Hennig accepting Flair's offer to become the New Enforcer, replacing Double A. Everything seemed great, until War Games when Hennig betrayed the horsemen and beat down Flair so badly he wasn't seen for months.

Hennig's pivotal role in the NWO warrants his inclusion in the HOF as part of the group.
