10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 5 Facts
6. Mr. Perfect Debuted His Singlet At WrestleMania 5
The shoulder strapped-tights were such an identifiable part of Curt Hennig's wrestling image that it's kinda hard to picture him without the getup. WrestleMania 5 was Mr. Perfect's third pay-per-view appearance with WWE, and in the first two, he wore generic short trunks that did very little to help him stand out from the pack.
Commentators Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura did their part to draw attention to Perfect's new attire, which Ventura erroneously referred to as "Olympican" in a colorful malapropos. Couple the threads with him letting his hair grow out into a Ramen-like lion's mane, and Mr. Perfect would cultivate a successful look that set him apart from even the most colorful of talents on WWE's impressive roster of the day.
