Woops... I must have copied the wrong URL clip for the football vignette. Here's the right one: |

Big Daddy Cool, Ted $, and the other NWO tools. But Mr. P could never get played out. Heel or Face the entire Federation fan base liked the guy. Besides Jess and Bobby. Who was a better heel announcer? The guy had unlimited potential. Why did he go to WCW? |

I’d read a couple of different stories – some relating to Curt’s injury.
Personally, I suspect it came down to a combination of things including VKM tightening his purse strings, Curt’s best friend Rick Rude’s influence, and Turner’s money.
There were several guys the old man should never have let go, but Hennig was (one of) the biggest.
And you’re absolutely right.
Curt never had to “reinvent” himself because neither the character – nor the man – ever got old.

Although it has no sound, this is a nice compilation of Hennig Highlights: Who here has WWE's The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect DVD? Opinions? |

IMO Curt Henning should have never have gone to WCW. He lost his trademarked Mr.Perfect gimmick. He just wasn't the same and they really didn't know how to use him at all. A guy with Hennings talant they could have done so much more with him. But that's typical WCW. WCW was only good for one thing. $$$.

My girlfriend got me the Mr. Perfect DVD for Christmas. I just watched Disc 1 tonight and was very pleased. Good interviews with his Dad and family, etc. Some of Wade Boggs’ stories were especially moving. I enjoyed the home video footage & private album photos. I'm still curious as to why they didn’t so much as mention his close friendship with Rick Rude.  All in all, though, great DVD! |

Curt’s Dad & wife (widow) knew this, and I can’t imagine it didn’t come up at some point. It was common knowledge even among many casual wrestling fans that Curt & Rick were buds. I’m not asking them to devote a whole additional disc to the two, but a simple acknowledgement would have been nice. It would have fit nicely when they mentioned Robinsdale H.S. |

Ya that is pretty strange. Who knows. Still bugs me to know that those two are dead. They were two of my favorites. |
