#4 WWE Hall Of Famer "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig

Mr. Perfect is one of the iconic characters of the Golden Age of WWE. Curt Hennig is an exceptional worker who used his technical ability to become a world-renowned performer. He started his run with WWE on a lengthy undefeated streak before losing to The Ultimate Warrior at Madison Square Garden.

Following The Ultimate Warrior relinquishing the WWE Intercontinental Championship after WrestleMania VI, Mr. Perfect defeated Tito Santana in a tournament to determine the new champion.

To complete his act and take it to the next level, Perfect aligned with Bobby Heenan as his "perfect" manager.

Mr. Perfect dropped the WWE Intercontinental Championship to Texas Tornado at SummerSlam 1990, the replacement for Brutus Beefcake. However, he regained the gold in December of that same year. Hennig retained his title against the likes of Texas Tornado and Big Boss Man.

Mr. Perfect's second reign as Intercontinental Champion was marred by a back injury, which played a huge part in his showdown with Bret "The Hitman" Hart. Their clash at SummerSlam 1991 is still regarded as one of the best matches in the event's history.

Mr. Perfect lost to Bret and helped solidify Hart as a star on the rise in WWE. Many fans still remember the WWE Hall Of Famer for his run with the IC Title.
