10 Greatest Vince McMahon Creations
7. Mr. Perfect
WWF fans were conditioned to believe that Mr. Perfect was an expert mechanic before he even stepped foot in the ring.
His introductory vignettes remain the most cherished in company history decades after they first aired. Perfect could smash geeks to smithereens on the table tennis, erm, table. He could catch his own perfect touchdown throw. He could bowl a perfect game with his eyes literally closed.
By the time he stepped foot in the squared circle, Perfect was already known as a genius wrestler. When he performed perfectly in it, the results were actually more mixed than McMahon had intended. He was so evidently superb that there was too much love in the imperfect love to hate equation.
McMahon didn't create Curt Hennig, who was already a World Champion and phenomenal athlete by the time he arrived in the WWF. What he did do was accentuate Hennig's qualities and fashion them into a far more memorable package. Perfect was McMahon operating at his best; he took an established act and modified it very slightly to extract the maximum.
He has since indulged this tweaking by micromanaging everything within an inch of its life. In the halcyon days of the WWF's Golden Age, however, McMahon possessed the Midas touch.
