Another Heenan Family member to win the Intercontinental Championship, 'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig was the man most likely to make that step up and win the big one, but for whatever reason this never actually happened. He was the number one heel in the company in 1990, but the rise of the Ultimate Warrior meant the main event of WrestleMania VI saw two babyfaces go at it, whilst Perfect was reduced to losing to Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake of all people.

The IC title came shortly after aligning himself with Heenan, and the two had something approaching a reign of terror over the babyfaces of the World Wrestling Federation that weren't called 'Hulk Hogan' or 'Ultimate Warrior'.

It is no coincidence that Perfect dropped his second Intercontinental Championship to Bret Hart just months after Heenan retired from managing.

Perfect most likely sits atop most people's 'Best To Never Win The WWF Title' list. He was the number one member of the Heenan Family. Or at least, he would be, if it wasn't for one certain other...
