"Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig

Curt Hennig, popularly known as Mr. Perfect, remains to date arguably the best wrestler to never hold a World Title in WWF or WCW. Hennig's reign as the Intercontinental Champion in the 90s help garner credibility for him and the title.

At WCW, he was also a United States Heavyweight Champion and World Tag Team Champion, alongside Barry Windham.

Mr. Perfect died in February 2003 due to acute cocaine intoxication. Steroids and painkillers had a big impact on his health.

Curt Hennig was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. His son, Joe, uses the ring name Curtis Axel, representing his father's first name and his grandfather's nickname, respectively.
