Mr Perfect!

A workhorse in every sense, Perfect put the most miles on the clock winning and losing (and winning again) his beloved Intercontinental Championship in 1990, sharing the WWE ring with just about every top babyface of the day and battering jobbers with his classic "NOW YOU'RE GONNA SEE A PERFECTPLEX" refrain.

Starting the year up against Hulk Hogan on the house show circuit and in the closing moments of the Royal Rumble before moving into the aforementioned series' with a rising Brutus Beefcake and send-'em-home happy dark matches with the Ultimate Warrior, Perfect also went up against the likes of Jake Roberts, Tito Santana, Jim Duggan, Big Boss Man, Hercules, the Legion Of Doom, Rowdy Roddy Piper in multiple singles and tags.

It's a shame his back gave in around the summer of 1991, but not that much of a surprise - he'd put it out keeping such a schedule the prior year and the year before. He worked 194 times in 1990, having registered 173 in 1989.
