10 Wrestlers That Could Get A Good Match Out Of ANYONE
8. Mr Perfect
Never confirmed nor denied by Taylor himself but long held up as a famed internal tale, the 'Mr Perfect' gimmick was apparently up for grabs between Curt Hennig and the future Red Rooster when both signed on the dotted line with Vince McMahon in 1988. Surely Hennig would have managed to escape a chicken walk and dyed red streak, but thank goodness he didn't have to.
Mr Perfect was an infuriatingly magnificent heel. Few performers could have been as polished as he was and manage to earn the derision of the crowd, but his ostentatious obnoxiousness was simply too infectious to ignore. Loathed alongside Bobby Heenan, his command of competitive pay-per-view matches and televised squashes made him an unmissable midcarder during WWE's most bombastic big man period.
Perfect in name and nature, Hennig's immaculate body of work between 1988 and 1991 was as flawless as his name suggested, and only marginally tarnished by babyface return the following year and middling spell with WCW later in the decade. At his peak, Perfect was the quintessential Intercontinental Champion - if you weren't in Hulk Hogan's orbit, you were fortunate to be floating around his.
