10 Greatest Technical Wrestlers Of All Time

6. €˜Mr. Perfect€™ Curt Hennig

In his prime, there wasn€™t a better all round wrestler in the WWF than Curt €˜Mr. Perfect€™ Hennig. In a company that featured Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, Bret Hart, Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat and Ric Flair, that really is saying something. Put simply, Curt Hennig was, well, Perfect. Hennig€™s Perfectplex finisher was a genuine sight to behold, executed precisely time and time again. He may have played the role of the cocky, arrogant heel, but in real life he more than had the skills to back up his character€™s relentless boasting. In his glory days, Hennig was never sloppy, never found wanting by opponents and never appeared to be tired of wound down, even when racked with a painful illness during his classic Intercontinental Championship match with Bret Hart at the 1991 Summerslam Pay Per View. Perfect€™s collection of holds, slams, spots and moves was nothing short of breathtaking. What€™s more, he was never wasteful or ostentatious with them - his psychology was airtight, every time. As a fan, you always understood what Hennig was doing and why he was doing it and there never seemed to be a move that he couldn€™t ooze out of and throw back at his opponent (with infuriating smugness, of course). Mr. Perfect was among the finest wrestlers in a fine era of wrestling and that is why he deserves a spot on this list.
