I wonder if Curt had any say in that.
He was, quite literally, a perfect fit for the whole ethos that the original Horsemen concept embodied.
So, they put “Mongo” in the 4-H, but sent Hennig to become member #62 of the NWO.
I suppose I wouldn’t have minded if the NWO had less than 6 or so guys when Hennig joined.
But, considering that over 2/3 of the WCW main roster was either Black & White or Wolfpac, no…
Curt deserved to be (and should have been placed) with the elite.
However, seeing how WCW management used Bret, it’s not at all surprising what they did with C.H.
