Curtis Axel

Curt Hennig aka Mr. Perfect worked for several promotions in the 80s and 90s and is most notably known for his run as Mr. Perfect in WWE. He signed a contract with WCW in 1997. Initially a babyface, he soon turned on Diamond Dallas Page and kicked off a rivalry with him.

A short while later, both the Four Horsemen and the nWo showed interest in Hennig and tried to recruit him. Hennig eventually chose to join the Four Horsemen in the end. In 2000, Hennig left the company after his contract expired.

Hennig's son Curtis Axel was a participant in the second season of WWE NXT. In the end, he secured the second spot with Kaval winning the competition. Axel soon joined The Nexus, along with Husky Harris, the current-day Bray Wyatt.

Over the next few years, he became a part of a string of factions including The Social Outcasts, The B-Team, and The Miztourage. He won the Intercontinental title on one occasion and was let go by WWE in April this year after a decade-long run on the main roster.
