9. Mr. Perfect

Mr. Perfect was, well, perfect - so of course he'd fit in with the modern WWE. How could he not? He's perfect, after all. 

This is the type of character that never grows old: the self-assured, cocky, somewhat pompous heel. It doesn't matter what era you're in, the sort of arrogance that Mr. Perfect utilized would garner instant heat with any generation of wrestling fans.

Not to mention the fact that Mr. Perfect was one of the best technical wrestlers around (giving a little more ammunition to his character - after all, he could back up his claims in the ring).

This is exactly why he would have worked today. Sadly, Curt Hennig passed away in 2003, at just 44. His son, Joe, is better known to WWE fans as Curtis Axle.
