Curtis Michael "Curt" Hennig (March 28, 1958 – February 10, 2003) also known by the ring name Mr. Perfect, was an American professional wrestler who performed for the American Wrestling Association, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment. Hennig is recognized by WWE as one of the longest-reigning world champions in recent history—during his time in AWA, he held the World Heavyweight Championship for 373 days and was also a World Tag Team Champion (with Scott Hall). Hennig also excelled in other North American promotions, becoming a WCW United States Champion, WCW World Tag Team Champion (with Barry Windham) and two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion—with the distinction of being the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of the 1990s (having held the title for 280 days). Described by WWE as "one of the best in-ring technicians of his generation", peers including Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Randy Savage consider Hennig to be one of the most gifted in-ring performers in professional wrestling history. He was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007.
