Supposedly from what I heard. He was supposed to be WWF Champion a couple times winning the title from Hulk Hogan. Unfortunately Hogan refused to lose to Mr. Perfect. Deeming him unworthy to be Championship Material. And Vince McMahon went along with H.H.
David Jackson don’t be stupid!!! It was Hunter Helmsley, he wrote and black mail Vince, pulled the strings... Triple bitch (H) putting talent down since his early days at WCW days before going to the wwe
Unfortunately injuries plagued his career. Everytime he would get healthy and be ready for a push he would get sidelined with injuries. A shame because he's criminally underappreciated as a performer in the late 80s through mid 90s.
Intercontinental has more prestige than wwe championship I don't know why some guys want every wrestler to become wwe champion hogan was never a intercontinental champion
1:36 I kept telling people about the badass break in this song, but no one believed me! It never played on TV long enough for anyone to hear it. Except for once.......
If you watch the match between Mr. Perfect and Texas Tornado at Summer Slam '90, after the Tornado has his interview with Gene Okerlund, they show Perfect in the ring when Howard Finkel announces him and this part of his theme is playing...itself is EPIC.
Yes, SummerSlam 1990. It played during the Ultimate Warrior team interview during Survivor Series 1990 as well. Unfortunately the break was edited out of Perfect's theme after his 1992 return to the ring - for instance, when he defeats Ric Flair in the loser leaves the WWF match in January 1993, Perfect's theme is clearly edited to cut the break out.
If it wasn't for him I doubt I would've loved Wrestling as much. From his arrogant strut, towel in hand, chewing gum, smile, eye brow, Intercontinental title around his waist, Bobby "The Brain Heenan" by his side, spit/slapping his gum toward the crow, behind the back toss of the towel, to exhibiting to the world why he was Prefect. There was nobody better in my opinion. Nobody.
I love that Jim Johnston remixed this and added a drum beat at the front then gave it to Mr Perfect's son! It's a shame Curtis Axel didn't ever get as big a push as his old daddy-o R.I.P. Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig
I was born a little later than his time so I've watched his matches, highlights, etc. Man, he's super exciting to watch and talented.. also heard he was a super nice man as well to fans and others
The pop when he had his first babyface entrance at Survivor Series 92....when I hear this theme that is my first thought. What a brilliant executed turn that was.
I am fan of Bret "The Hitman" Hart but thank you MR. PERFECT for passing the I.C. title to The Hitman. You were, are and always will be MR. PERFECT. R.I.P.
Love the Ping Pong vignette with Mr. Perfect and the Genius. Genius: Personal perfection plus prolific ping pong paddles positively panics people's pointless pride. It's one of many things that poor Hulk Hogan cannot do. And that just makes the Genius feel good inside.
Love Mr.Perfect since I was very little way back in 1990 I was 5 My late wonderful Dad loved Mr.Perfect too He got me into loving and respecting Mr.Perfect (Curt Henning) RIP
I remember when mp3 players became a thing I got a 64 mb one for a birthday gift and this was literally one of the first songs I put on it. Man this theme used to blast while riding the bus to school lol.
@@robintst they gave him a shit gimmick and a shit name, not even his father could've gotten over with that, then they repackage him as shitty Hogan clone and partnered him with Sandow as a shitty Radny Savage clone and called them "The Meta Powers". No wonder they failed to connect with anyone, nobody could.
@@ValiantWrestling They are good at that, sabotaging talent with stupid gimmicks that is. That's been probably Vince's worst quality for decades. Only rarely do you get guys who make it work in a big way. Undertaker, Kane, and Mankind are probably the top 3 standouts in the respect because those guys were good enough to make you buy into it.
It's between him and Owen for me for the greatest wrestler to have never won a WWF world title having worked for the company. EDIT : Forgot about Roddy Piper too.
Making his way down the aisle, accompanied by his manager, his perfect manager, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Weighing 257lbs, the intercontinental champion, Mr Perfect!!!!!.
Me on commentary: Here he is folks, the reigning Intercontinental Champion, Mr. Perfect, alongside his manager Bobby The Brain Heenan, his opponent better be ready because his victory is going to be in his words absolutely perfect.
Man when he died..i really felt it! Gone way too soon...and his son deserved better than that b team gimmick. He has shades of his dad..but there's only 1 Mr perfect..and he left us way too soon. Rip
Of all the literal nobody's they are resorting to putting in the HOF, and THIS composer who's made countless and timeless taylor made themes to legends isn't in it yet....OMG.
Curt Hennig was the man the promos he did with sports stars in the early 90s were perfect for his character its ashamed they never gave him a chance to hold the world title
Curt Hennig could have thrown a dart out an airplane window and hit a dartboard he had never seen before in his life. Curt Hennig could have driven cross country in an 18 wheeler on one wheel. Curt Hennig could have thrown a can of paint at a wood panel and made the Mona Lisa. Some great artists could draw a perfect circle freehand with a pencil. Curt could draw a sphere. Last one here, the real one: Bret Hart considered Curt Hennig the better wrestler. Those who know Bret Hart understand the implications of that statement.
The Perfect Plex " The Small Package" & Mr. Perfect deserved all the Glory. Ultimate Warrior, Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan Brett The Hitman Heart were kings in there day. Mr. Perfect deserved The Championship Belt! R.I.P Mr. Perfect
@@jonstefanik9400 They could have done that in mid-91 when Perfect still had the IC title. Dragon would have gone over via DQ or CO though since Perfect was dropping it to Bret.
This entrance music for Mr. Perfect was absolutely perfect.
You mean favorite song. This was Curt Henning favorite song
Should have been WWF Champion
Supposedly from what I heard. He was supposed to be WWF Champion a couple times winning the title from Hulk Hogan. Unfortunately Hogan refused to lose to Mr. Perfect. Deeming him unworthy to be Championship Material. And Vince McMahon went along with H.H.
well said

Definitely 1 of the all-time greats in pro wrestling. R.I.P. 'Mr. Perfect' Curt Hennig😇
This theme is still epic to this very day and I still get goosebumps from it
No no no you get the perfect goosebumps
@@christimpaler6668 Damn straight brotha
This! Goosebumps because you know something extraordinary is about to happen.
@@JohnnyReb1976You got that straight!
Even if he's supposed to be a heel, everyone cheers at this theme regardless! Because he's Perfect!
Thank you Sir Jim Johnston for "THE PERFECT" theme.
That pun was PERFECT
@@ramenlasagna2934 that reply was PERFECT
@@steaglesfan5686 You are PERFECT
This plan is going PERFECT
All these comments are PERFECT
This theme is simply..... PERFECT!
Indeed Perfect !

Never knew

Anyone else have the habit of slapping your gum away when you spit it out?
I still do, took me weeks to get it right; never stopped once I had it down.
Everytime
i do and it's absolutly perfect each time
Did it once at school when i was little, janitor wasnt happy lol.
Simon Dawe when I spit mine I kick it
One of the greatest intercontinental champions of all time
Yeah no shawn michaels or honky tonk man
@@lauragustin2487 lmao non-drawing vince boytoy and a lame elvis impersonator.
You're having a laugh, neither of ghem were on Hennigs level.
@@ValiantWrestling Hennig Never Kiss Ass 💯
He should have had a run with the world title
@@lauragustin24872 bellends Perfect was by far the better wrestler. Shawn Micheals is 5ft 10 and 175lbs lol. Honky is just a mid carder at best.
A perfect entrance theme for the perfect wrestler Mr Perfect
Mr. Perfect vs. Curt Angle would have been epic with those two technical wrestlers!
The PERFECT entrance music
This man should still be alive.
Like many other wrestlers who've passed away.
Yeah he should be. One of my favorite wrestlers of all time.
When Curt was born, his mother looked down at him said, "Perfect".
perfect in every way
That post was Perfect.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Like Cell.
Definitely perfect.
R.I.P. to one of the best overall athletes in the history of wrestling. There was next to nothing this man couldn’t do.
True that. And perfect-plexing Big Show proves it beyond a reasonable doubt.
If it wasn't for him I doubt I would've loved Wrestling as much. From his arrogant strut, towel in hand, chewing gum, smile, eye brow, Intercontinental title around his waist, Bobby "The Brain Heenan" by his side, spit/slapping his gum toward the crow, behind the back toss of the towel, to exhibiting to the world why he was Prefect. There was nobody better in my opinion. Nobody.
Most iconic theme ever. Could easily be used for blockbuster Hollywood movie
it was borrowed from a movie. look up "theme from exodus"
I love that Jim Johnston remixed this and added a drum beat at the front then gave it to Mr Perfect's son!
It's a shame Curtis Axel didn't ever get as big a push as his old daddy-o
R.I.P. Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig
This theme is absolutely PERFECT! 👌👌👌
"You maybe good but im better, cause I'm absolutely perfect" - Mr. Perfect
I was born a little later than his time so I've watched his matches, highlights, etc. Man, he's super exciting to watch and talented.. also heard he was a super nice man as well to fans and others
just remember one thing. "Hulk Hogan, you can't do that!"
That was the best promo he ever cut!
His theme song sounded like royalty.
🔥🔥
“I am what I say I am. And I am absolutely…… Perfect!”
The pop when he had his first babyface entrance at Survivor Series 92....when I hear this theme that is my first thought. What a brilliant executed turn that was.
It always reminded me of ancient Rome.
EPIC, no no no... PERFECT
Greece but yeah haha
The Perfect Plex he put on the Big Show. Legendary.
That was sick!
You may be THE EXCELLENCE OF EXECUTION Bret "The Hitman" Hart BUT I AM WHAT I SAY I AM AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
I am fan of Bret "The Hitman" Hart but thank you MR. PERFECT for passing the I.C. title to The Hitman. You were, are and always will be MR. PERFECT. R.I.P.
Summerslam 1991
Love the Ping Pong vignette with Mr. Perfect and the Genius.
Genius: Personal perfection plus prolific ping pong paddles positively panics people's pointless pride. It's one of many things that poor Hulk Hogan cannot do. And that just makes the Genius feel good inside.
Nobody has the conditioning of Mr Perfect. A great technician of the game
His Entrance Music was PERFECT

"There's only 1 Mr. Perfect......and you're looking at him..."
Playing this after the last out of a perfect game in baseball would be both awesome and appropriate.
One the greatest themes ever!!!
Rest in paradise 🙏 curt henning
One of the best technical wrestler ever, Definitely should have been champ
When I think of the Intercontinental belt. I think Mr. Perfect !!! 🏆
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!
this theme was absolutely perfect for Mr. Perfect
He and Jeff Jarret I met as a kid in Pittsburgh nicest guys
The heels were the classiest guys
It's too bad that wwe made his son into a joke his son has the talent to become more then a shodow of his father and grandfather
And his son is a splitting image of him,walks,and talks and looks exactly just like Curt it uncanny it’s scary
They gave him the opportunity before, he didn't connect with the fans.
@@robintst nah what do you expect on today's wwe fans.
He should come to AEW and let's see if they'll give him another chance.
@@robintst they gave him a shit gimmick and a shit name, not even his father could've gotten over with that, then they repackage him as shitty Hogan clone and partnered him with Sandow as a shitty Radny Savage clone and called them "The Meta Powers".

Absolutely PERFECT
This theme is befitting of a man who was in the ring and out.....ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
If anyone goes to the range for requalification and shoots a perfect score, it is announced by playing this over the loudspeaker.
Bret, you may be the best there is, was, and ever will be, but you will never be....perfect!
This always reminded me of the music you'd hear when you complete a very long & hard computer game
he executed, also tactical and flawless. the guts the power and thee perfect athlete.
It's between him and Owen for me for the greatest wrestler to have never won a WWF world title having worked for the company.
EDIT : Forgot about Roddy Piper too.
Now this theme tune...is absolutely perfect!
Absolutely~ Perfect!
I always think of his entrance at Summerslam 1990 against the Texas Tornado.
One off the best in the ring mr perfect

greatest ic champ that ever walked this earth.
Mr perfect is and was one of the greatest like Razor Ramon and ultimate warrior RIP we will miss the great golden times of wwf
Nobody is better than Mr. Perfect. Nobody.
Man when he died..i really felt it! Gone way too soon...and his son deserved better than that b team gimmick. He has shades of his dad..but there's only 1 Mr perfect..and he left us way too soon. Rip
When my toddler finally goes to sleep I hear this in my head
I look at his face and all I hear is "what can I say except you're welcome !"
This song is actually called perfection as shown in the description.
The perfect theme
The perfect in everything
The perfect theme for the greatest IC Champion...
he was and always will be Perfect
An Underrated legend.
I hope 2K actually uses this theme and not the generic theme he had in WCW.
This theme was stol... I mean "inspired" by "Exodus" from Henry Mancini. Go check it out and compare.
one of the best to ever lace em up. vince is bogus as hell for not putting the wwf title on him at least once
Of all the literal nobody's they are resorting to putting in the HOF, and THIS composer who's made countless and timeless taylor made themes to legends isn't in it yet....OMG.
He was absolutley PERFECT👌🏻
Curt Hennig was the man the promos he did with sports stars in the early 90s were perfect for his character its ashamed they never gave him a chance to hold the world title
Thanks to those vignettes he made a friend of Wade Boggs.
The Perfect theme!
Love this YT channel. Do you think you will be making a playlist of production music that WWE has used over the years? That would be cool
Just skyrockets your Ego doesn't it?
Curt Hennig could have thrown a dart out an airplane window and hit a dartboard he had never seen before in his life.
Curt Hennig could have driven cross country in an 18 wheeler on one wheel.
Curt Hennig could have thrown a can of paint at a wood panel and made the Mona Lisa.
Some great artists could draw a perfect circle freehand with a pencil. Curt could draw a sphere.
Last one here, the real one:
Bret Hart considered Curt Hennig the better wrestler.
Those who know Bret Hart understand the implications of that statement.
The Perfectplex...the single most Perfect finisher ever executed.
The Perfect Plex " The Small Package" & Mr. Perfect deserved all the Glory. Ultimate Warrior, Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan Brett The Hitman Heart were kings in there day. Mr. Perfect deserved The Championship Belt! R.I.P Mr. Perfect
He’s simply perfect! Catches his own football pass.
I love you Mr. Perfect
This really was the Perfect theme for him!
The original and perfect theme for a perfect wrestler.
The perfect IC champion.
AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR A PERFECTPLEX ! 💪
Every time I make a long garbage toss and make it in, this plays in my head lol
Fantasy match: Ricky Steamboat vs. Mr. Perfect; add Bret and Flair for fantasy tag.
Oh My God!! Mr. Perfect vs. Steamboat that would be awesome.
@@jonstefanik9400 They could have done that in mid-91 when Perfect still had the IC title. Dragon would have gone over via DQ or CO though since Perfect was dropping it to Bret.
@@fivebearrugsmaybe but maybe not
GOAT Intercontinental Champion
The Perfect Wrestling Theme👌
Pursue excellence in all things. RIP Curt Henning.
Mr Perfect vs Kurt Angle = Dream Match
Great theme.
Hennig was a good wrestler.
Absolutely perfect.
Absolutley Perfect!
I like it when "the fink" says 260 pounds "mr PERFECT
He is in rowdy Wrestling known as Mr Excellent
La gente può dire quello che gli pare , ma per me tu sei il mancato campione della WWF amico mio riposa in pace dovunque tu sia
His match with Bret at SummerSlam is goated.
And to think they were going to give this gimmick to Terry YAWN Taylor.
Mr. Limited
Simply perfect.
