I will keep this, perfectly! Perfect wrestler, perfect athlete, perfect on the microphone, perfect champion, just absolutely perfect! My most favorite match was him and Nick Bockwinkel, they wrestled to a 1 hour draw. Then the rematch at the cow palace in San Francisco, when he hit Bockwinkel with a role of dimes Zybzsko Handed him to capture the title. A classic! Curt Hennig will always be one thing and one thing only in Heaven, absolutely perfect!

i still remember seeing curt hennig wrestle on a wwf card in july 1988 in edmonton alberta 2 hours after seeing him on awa championship wrestling-mind blowing!!! He was one of my favorite workers and an influence in my decision to try pro-wrestling myself. You are sorely missed and will never be replaced ,rest in piece my friend your legacy of perfection shall remain.

Brad Olson

February 12, 2012

I still think about Curt just about everyday. Outside of rooting for the Vikes, Twins, and North Stars - having heros like Curt, Greg Gagne, Jim Brunzell, Tom Zenk, Rock n Roll Buck Zumhoffe, and many more, made being a teenager in St Paul something to cherish. What was even greater was when Jim, Curt, Gene, and even the Weasel made the jump to WWE, it felt like you were watching one of our own. What's hilarious in life, a few weeks ago, I was in Key West. I spit my gum and slapped it away. No big deal except a guy walking nearby asked if there wasn't a pro wrestler who did that? Curt, you are truly missed by fans all over the world.

Michelle

February 10, 2012

I can't believe it's been 9 yrs since we lost you Mr.Perfect.I'll always continue each and every year to write something in your memory.Because you gave us fans wonderful memories in the ring.Miss you everyday and always.

Curt Hennig was and is my favorite all time wrestler/performer that I've ever seen and I got back into wrestling just recently again after I heard that Joe Hennig is in the wwe. I wish Joe the best of luck and I know he has a great chance to secede because he was taught by the Perfect teacher, Mr Perfect :)

As amazing as he was, he was "PERFECT"

Stuart Mercer

March 29, 2007

Absolute legend, he had it all as a wrestler but his biggest quality was his charisma, the guy who was meant to play the bad guy, but who you couldn't help like and admire. Sorely missed and will go down as one of the greatest of all time, it'll be a great moment to see his hall of fame introduction.

Chris Abate

March 1, 2007

"Perfect will be in the showers in 10 minutes" -Bobby "the brain" Heenan as Curt was about to perfect-plex Brett Hart.

Curt was my favorite wrestler, and someone I have always held in the highest regard. I live my life by his 'perfect mentality'. I loved his dry sense of humor and the helarious vignettes. Probably the most clever act in wrestling history and Perfect backed it all up. I have nothing but fond memories of a man who changed my life but never met me.

I wish you hadn't hit the showers so soon Mr. Perfect. You will always be missed.

Michelle Emery

February 22, 2007

Thanks for all the memories Curt

Johnny Long

October 30, 2006

I met Curt in Alabama during the Buckmasters in 1998 when I played bass for Johnny Lee and John Anderson. I got his autograph and picture, and he was very nice. Later the band I was with went to a club which was in Curt's Hotel, and he and Wayde Boggs were there. Curt recognized me and waived me over, and we talked for an hour and a half, he bought me some beers. I read in some of the comments about him about his love of his family, and I can say this was true, we both talked about the hardships of being on the road and missing our families. He had me beat, though. He did 300 shows a year, that is unreal. Of all the celebreties I have met, He stands out as the most down to earth. I used to follow his career a little when I used to watch wrestling, so meeting him was an honor in itself, but I will always remember that night. If he treated his friends and family like he treated me as a stranger, they were lucky to have him in their lives. I hope they are well. My prayers go out to them.

MR. Leslie D. Below

To the Hennig Family,
What can I say. It's been over 3 Yrs. since Curt has passed and i still look at his obituary and i still can't believe he is gone. I'm 51yrs. old and i was always a fan of The Axe and Curt when he first hit scene I got to meet him once in houston, I was most impressed,I will always remember him,I've been to Champlin, everytime I was in MN. Just to uncomfortable to stop by. God bless the Hennig Family Now and Always.You to "AXE" up there in St.Cloud. Take Care and again GOD BLESS!!!!

Curt your decisions as a wrestler was something I could always relate to. Whether it was a unique facial gesture or joining the nWo it was always something that I stood by in high regards to the perfect athlete. You will never be forgotten and always a part of my everyday life.

Curt,



you were such a great person and great entertainer. i will ALWAYS remember your intercontinental championship match with Bret Hart in madison square garden as one of the best matches of all time. rest in peace.

Curt, I wish I could have had the pleasure of meeting you. You were my role model growing up and I wanted to be "perfect" just like you. I even used to spit my gum and slap it with my hand before I went up to the plate in litte league. As I became older, I realized your wrestilng abilities were truly "perfect", and you really earned your name. You will be missed by fans that loved you and those who simply love the sport. I hope you enjoy hitting hole-in-ones, home runs, and half-court shots in Heaven as much as you enjoyed entertaining fans and carrying the family legacy. Thanks for inspiring me to strive for "perfection" in everything I do. God Bless & may your soul rest in peace!

Your technique in the ring was always marvellously! Every match were astoundingly beautiful and creative!We truly miss you! RIP

WHEN SOME WORDS LEAVE MY LIPS; THAN ONLY THAT YOU RECEIVE LOVE. THROUGH THE NIGHT AND THE THICKEST BRANCHES, THAT YOU DON'T KNOW FEAR. SAY A LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH, SEE HOW THE DESERT LIVE. IN OUR HOURGLASS THE LAST GRAIN IS FALLING, HOWEVER I WON'T MISS ANYTHING. SO REMAIN ALL OUR WORLD OF THOUGHTS. WHO SHOW YOU THE NEW THINGS, SHOWS THAT THE OLD MOVE AWAY. ALSO WHEN YOUR PAIN REACH TO THE SKY...

Bob Covey

June 11, 2006

Your father, Larry "The Axe", was my favorite wrestler in the mid/late '70's. You became my favorite as soon as you debut in WWF. Your cocky and confident attitude propelled you to be the best entertainer of that era. There will be NO OTHER wrestler/sports entertainer like Curt Hennig. God Bless you and your family.

Curt was my favourite wrestler and back then it wasn't "cool" to like the bad guys over the good guys but he had something, something that sparked my attention and actually drew me in to wrestling in the first place. For that I thank you Curt. You were Mr Perfect to me, God bless
