15 Wrestlers’ Daughters Following In Their Parents’ Footsteps
11. Amy Hennig (Mr. Perfect)
Curtis Axel is not the only offspring of Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig who followed in their father and grandfathers footsteps. Axels younger sister Amy also entered the world of professional wrestling several years ago, training at Harley Races wrestling school. Many longtime wrestling fans remember Mr. Perfect fondly, if not for his vignettes, then for his impeccable in-ring performances. Sadly, he passed away 11 years ago, shortly after trying to make a comeback in WWE. His son, Curtis Axel, is often criticized by fans (or conversely, fans criticize WWE) because he has not gotten anything resembling a steady push. A run with the Intercontinental Championship and brief period as a Paul Heyman guy is about the most WWE has invested in him. Unlike Axel, Amy Hennig has not made it to WWE. Its unclear whether she is still active, as most internet sources cut off her in-ring accomplishments in 2010. There also was a report from Races school that Amy wasnt taking advice from veterans, so it could be that she wasnt cut out for wrestling. (If someone has more info, it would be welcome.) Its a shame in some ways that Amy never made it to WWE, as brother-sister wrestling pairs are rare. But with one third-generation Hennig floundering in WWE, would there be room for another?
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fondly remembers watching WrestleMania III, IV, V and VI and Saturday Night's Main Event, came back to wrestling during the Attitude Era, and has been a consumer of sports entertainment since then. He's written for WhatCulture for more than a decade, establishing the Ups and Downs articles for WWE Raw and WWE PPVs/PLEs and composing pieces on a variety of topics.
