10 WWE Wrestlers Who Suddenly Vanished

4. Mr Perfect

Mr Perfect was a multi-time offender for this sort of thing, but it was perhaps because he persistently knew his worth that he was always so willing to walk away.

Following a babyface turn for 1992's Survivor Series, Perfect was bantered off by partner Razor Ramon as way of an explanation just one year later when he disappeared from 'The Bad Guys' ahead of the pay-per-view. He'd bafflingly re-emerge as special guest referee at WrestleMania X the following March to turn heel on Lex Luger during the muscleman's last shot at Yokozuna's prize to set up a feud that never happened.

Cutting promos on the post-Mania Raws, Perfect was gone without trace yet again before the two went to war. He'd remain AWOL until 1995, but a late-1996 in-ring return via the commentary table was again abruptly cut short when he left for WCW. An enjoyable 2002 in-and-out followed the exact same trend.

For several years, Curt Hennig's character was a masterpiece of conception and execution, but Vince McMahon sadly never found (or never cared about) the perfect way to write him out.
