Curt Michael Hennig (March 28, 1958 – February 10, 2003) was a wrestler who debuted in the American Wrestling Association in 1981 after being trained by Brad Rheingans, Larry Hennig, and Verne Gagne at the promotion's training camp. He'd later debut for the WWF four months into his career and work their on and off until the early '90s, eventually developing his "Mr. Perfect" gimmick. He then left WWF behind, working for enterprises such as WWC, All Japan, New Japan and eventually winding up in WCW but was, and still is, counted among the best technical wrestlers in WWE history.Among his in-ring achievements, he was a 1x AWA World Heavyweight Champion, a 1x AWA World Tag Team Champion w/Scott Hall, a 2x WWE Intercontinental Champion, a 1x WCW United States Heavyweight Champion and a 1x WCW World Tag Team Champion w/Barry Windham. Briefly competed in TNA when it was still a member of the NWA. He passed away in 2003 from acute cocaine intoxication. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007. | |

The Trickster | |
| Curt Hennig (Wrestling) / int_185ea595 | comment |
The Trickster: In Real Life, Curt loved to prank people not unlike Owen Hart. Once he went to a party and crapped in the hosts' baby's potty and managed to convince them that their kid took an adult-sized shit. Whenever he was part of a show that took place in a high school, he would test all of the padlocks on the lockers. If one came off, he would use it to lock the gym bags of two wrestlers who hated each other together. Another one worthy of mention is when he put rubber bands over a couple of tube socks and shoved them down the front of his pants. Gorilla Monsoon, who was notoriously visually impaired, didn't realize it, so Curt came out and wrestled a job match with what appeared to be a huge boner. Needless to say, Vince McMahon was not happy about this and went to yell at Monsoon for allowing Curt to go out there like that. Curt promptly received a chewing out when he got backstage from an irritated Monsoon. | |

Arch-Enemy: In the early 80's WWE, a very young Curt had to endure quite interesting feuds against the likes of "Playboy" Buddy Rose, Killer Khan, and Greg Valentine. In The '90s, he and Bret Hart created veritable classics that set the pace for future technical wrestlers in main event grade matches. ...and then, his famous betrayal of Ric Flair. Nick Bockwinkel and Jerry Lawler in the AWA's tail end. Diamond Dallas Page and Flair (...again!) in WCW. | |

Signature Move | |
| Curt Hennig (Wrestling) / int_675056e4 | comment |
Signature Move: His dad's finisher; "The Ax", a swinging running forearm smash. When his opponent was sitting up in the ring, usually in a daze, Curt would run up from behind, somersault over the other guy while performing a "Cravate" and yanking the guy's head and causing a whiplash. A pelvic swing from standing headscissors, giving his opponent a neck crank variant. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: In WWE, Hennig betrayed Flair (as his then-protegee), Razor Ramon, Lex Luger, and Marc Mero. Likewise, in WCW, he did the same to DDP (his former manager at "The Diamond Exchange"), Flair (...YES, again!) and the nWo Wolfpac. | |

Defeating the Undefeatable | |
| Curt Hennig (Wrestling) / int_9e10b88d | comment |
Defeating the Undefeatable: Went undefeated from 1988 to 1990 in WWF to play up his "Perfect" gimmick. The streak ended rather anticlimactically with mid-carder Brutus Beefcake beating him to a pulp at Wrestlemania VI. He had lost to Hulk Hogan at some house shows a few months earlier, but none of those were televised. | |

Rap Is Crap: The trope namer. In 1999, he and the West Texas Rednecks recorded a novelty country song called "Rap is Crap (I Hate Rap)" as part of their feud with the No Limit Soldiers. The Rednecks were meant to be the heels in this feud and the Soldiers the faces, but many WCW fans, mostly Southerners who hated rap and saw the Soldiers as bullies, sided with the Rednecks, to the point that their song even got some radio airplay. | |

Ur-Example: For the technically gifted wrestlers who lacked an outlandish character (though that part wasn't really true in his case) but made up for it due to his skill, he along with Bret Hart were this during the wrestling boom in the mid/late 80's. In a time where most wrestling in the WWF all had to have some cartoony vibe to it, Curt's gimmick was grounded in just being really good at whatever he did, and he was able to be over with the fans due to witnessing how good he really was. Guys like Chris Benoit and AJ Styles based their wrestling gimmicks on how good they were at wrestling, just like how Perfect did. | |

The Ace | |
| Curt Hennig (Wrestling) / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: A most certain Real Life case, since he proved to be, if not at professional grade, at least in great shape and seasoned enough to compete in bowling, golf, darts, billiards, baseball, and football. As a face, his dexterity and swiftness were hard to match, and as the incredibly gifted technician that he was, could throw around any opponent with ease. All of this showing that "Mr. Perfect" is more than just a nickname. Even as a heel, he usually won cleanly, and both the face and heel commentators would laud his immense technical wrestling talent. Hennig was able to combine his on-mat savviness with his great promo skills to draw a lot of heat as the smug bastard who is not only better than you, but knows it and is more than happy to rub your nose in it. | |

MassiveMultiplayerScam | |
| Curt Hennig (Wrestling) / int_c6af0d17 | comment |
Massive Multiplayer Scam: Mr. Perfect's eponymous "Perfect Hoax" back in 1996. For weeks, he stole Triple H's valets and caused him to lose numerous matches because of the subsequent distractions. Finally getting fed up with it, Triple H challenged the retired Hennig to a match; Hennig accepted. However, on the night of the match during an episode of RAW, Triple H ambushed Hennig backstage before the match and seemingly injured his knee, preventing him from continuing. Then-Intercontinental Champion "Wild Man" Marc Mero decided to fight Triple H in Hennig's place, putting his title on the line. In the match's climax, Triple H attempted to cheat using a steel chair, but Hennig ran in for the save and took the chair from Triple H... only to wallop Mero with the chair, allowing Triple H to pin him for the title. Afterwards, the duo revealed that the entire debacle was a plan to put the title on Triple H (and return him to a prominent stature within the company), while embarrassing Mero for stealing Sable from Triple H. Mr. Perfect was a point man for another one just four years prior. He and Ric Flair orchestrated a plot to get the WWF Title back to Flair starting at Summerslam 92. Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior were both fan favorites, but also accused of selling out to Team Flair. Both Flair and Perfect liberally attacked both the challenger (Warrior) and the WWF Champion (Savage) during the match. Warrior won when Team Flair jumped the champion on the outside, but only by countout, meaning Savage was still the champion. Flair beat the Macho Man shortly after this to win the WWF title for the second time. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Too many to not scratch your head about between Curt and an old childhood friend of his, Rick Rude. Both of them were physically gifted men who excelled in every sport that they tried their hand in (boxing, judo, and arm wrestling in Rude's case), both of them got their most famous gimmick (a vain individual who loves to brag about it) in WWF, both of them suffered severe back injuries that cut their careers short, and both of them died by overdose. | |

Theatrics of Pain | |
| Curt Hennig (Wrestling) / int_df8bbf3 | comment |
Theatrics of Pain: He had the ability to make his opponents look much better than they were. This was probably why he was used more to put lesser talents over, rather than being a Main Eventer. To be more specific, he was well-known for twirling in mid-air while taking powerful strikes (such as a clothesline). He also had his own variation of the "Flair Flip" that he would work into most matches, especially before his back injury. | |
