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 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.

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 :)

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.

"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.

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.

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, 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!

ALSO WHEN YOUR PAIN REACH TO THE SKY...

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.
