30 Great WWE Superstars And Their Strange Rookie Finishers
26. Mr. Perfect
The Perfectplex was just a bridging fishermans suplex, but if you'll pardon the pun, it really was perfected by Curt Hennig. It netted him two IC titles back when that title was incredibly prestigious, but Mr. Perfects greatest success came in the old AWA, where a babyfaced Hennig reigned as world champion for over a year. It wasn't the Perfectplex that won him that title, though; it was the Axe, a maneuver inherited from (and named after) his father, Larry The Axe Hennig. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1nwwap_nick-bockwinkel-vs-curt-hennig-awa-part-2_sport The Axe was a specific kind of running forearm smash, somewhere halfway between Jushin Ligers shotei and Tito Santanas Flying Burrito. It may not sound like much, but there was evidently something dangerous about the ulnae of the Hennig men, because both Larry and Curt were capable of drawing blood with the Axe. Probably the best match of Curt's career was a brutal 60-minute draw Nick Bockwinkel. The match was a damn bloodbath, all thanks to a trio of Axes from the future Mr. Perfect.
