Guest HartFan86 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 God, another thread nearly killed by forum drama. No shit. It's sad that people think it's cool to take advantage of a thread discussing the death of the wrestler.

LaParkaYourCar Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 God, another thread nearly killed by forum drama. Thank goodness our mods rule and banned the idiots before it ruined the thread all together.
Guest Blue Bacchus Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I just really hope it's to natural causes. RIP Curt.
Guest AndrewTS Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 A helluva shock to come home and see on the top of the forums. Shame that he wasn't able to have a noteworthy WWE comeback before this happened...
Guest Just call me Dan Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I didn't beleive it at first, with all the spamming that goes around on here at times. My heart just sunk seeing this as the Smartmarks Forums latest news. What a sad day it is. Rest in peace, old friend.
Guest The Son of Sting Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Im shocked, he was never my favourite but i always enjoyed watching him. R.I.P Curt.
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I've been away from my comp all day and just found out a couple minutes ago. This is very sad as Mr. Perfect was one of my favourite heels growing up (behind Debiase). Here's hoping for a tribute of sorts on Raw.
Guest goar Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 As a kid I loved Perfect's cocky heel and was disappointed his last run in the WWE was so brief. It's even more disappointing now that there will never be another chance.
Guest DeputyHawk Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 let's just stop discussing the pricks who think a death is funny. i'm generally not in favour of deleting posts altogether, but i think in this case it would be appropriate. as other people have said, this death has hit me harder than than others such as rude, bulldog, etc. i don't know why. perfect was a great heel, but he was always someone i think fans secretly wanted to be. i certainly did. the cocky swagger that was always backed up by being the best, his gestures like throwing the towel behind his back and catching it again, swatting away his gum, sitting on prime time with bobby heenan and flipping his pen into the air, catching it with the other hand. everything curt hennig did was just ... cliched as it is ... perfect. in the ring and out of it. i can't believe he's gone. again, as someone has already said, he didn't look all that different between first starting out in the wwf and today. in a way, he seemed timeless, ageless, and i guess now he always will be. damn, i can't believe i'm this upset over a wrestler i never knew. rest in peace, curt, you're the guy who took down brock lesnar at 35,000 feet.
Guest AndrewisyourHero Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 :: Starts humming 'Exodus' :: RIP, Curt
Guest eiker_ir Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 wow, this was really shocking...i didn't expext it at all it sucks, great wrestler and entertainer my condolences to his family and friends
EL DANDY~! Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 When I grew up...you give me three people I loved to hate, and those three people were Ric Flair, Vader, and Curt Hennig. Flair for being Flair, Vader for hardly letting Sting win, and Curt Hennig being that dickish heel that just made me realize that perfection means cockiness. And then I remember when he turned face on that interview with Randy Savage on Prime Time Wrestling before the Survivor Series over a decade before, after his supposed "retirement" from the ring, and when he came back and teamed with Savage, I can just remember the ovation he got, the kind of ovation that just made you think, this guy was it. He had the look, the attitude...to coin a Paul Heyman saying, "He had 'It.' That intangible." He could hold the crowd in the palm of his hands with his annoying jargon when he talked. I remember him drawing so much heat one time that I wanted to jump through the TV and destroy him myself. The way he talked shit to Hogan and Bret and all those other guys was PRICELESS, and even in his twilight, he could still entertain. What really sucks that I think that after he lost the IC title to Bret, that he was so underrated and such that people lost track of his greatness in that ring. It sucks because I think we as a group of fans are in the old adage that "We aren't missing him until he's gone." Like Owen and Rick Rude before him, he's gone, and now we truly miss him. Curt Hennig, Mr. Perfect, may you always be perfect in your happy place, and may you be happy for an eternity of eternities. Rest in Peace, and you will seriously be missed. Your legacy, forgotten or not, will live on...
Guest Angle-plex Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 He looked like he was in great shape last year. I wonder what went wrong.
Guest BobBacklundRules Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I went to school with Curt's daughter, my dad taught his older daughter in class. I've never met him but he must have been a great man to raise his children so well. Minnesota is missing it's champion.
Guest TonyJaymzReloaded Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Damn..and he was just wrestling. Gonna pray for his family tonight. You know, they used to say they have a good baseball team in heaven..well, now Heavens got a damn good heel for their wrestling federation. RIP Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig
Guest mach7 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 What an awful day this is! Mr. Perfect? MR. PERFECT?! He may have fallen from grace recently, but he was still my favourite wrestler (along with DiBiase) when growing up. I'll miss you Curt Hennig!
Guest Karnage Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I just came from school and I find this out, it's all so sudden. RIP Curt Hennig.
Guest BobBacklundRules Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 BRANDON, Fla. -- Professional wrestler Curt ``Mr. Perfect'' Hennig was found dead in a hotel room Monday. Officials said foul play wasn't suspected. Hennig, 44, of Champlin, Minn., was scheduled to appear Monday night at the Florida State Fair in Tampa. A housekeeper at the Homestead Suites Hotel found Hennig in a room about 1:30 p.m, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. Hennig was not breathing and was pronounced dead at the scene. His body has been turned over to the Medical Examiner's Office, and the sheriff's office was investigating. Hennig, the son Minneapolis wrestler Larry ``The Axe'' Hennig, has wrestled professionally for more than 30 years, according to an online biography. He worked for the World Wrestling Federation and most recently wrestled for Jimmy Hart All-Star Wrestling. -Associated Press I still can't put my head around this one
Guest Choken One Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I've just found out about this and I am still confused with the details...but um...yeah. I won't say he was the greatest guy to ever live...but I always appreciate his efforts in entertaining myself and millions of others for years. R.I.P Curt "Mr. Perfect" Henning. May Heaven be blessed with another quality worker.
Guest Eagan469 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Oh my fucking god. I just got home from work - holy shit. God bless him.
LaParkaYourCar Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Eagan you should post Mr. Perfect's theme tormorrow as a tribute
Guest Eagan469 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Eagan you should post Mr. Perfect's theme tormorrow as a tribute it'll be up in a few minutes
Guest Choken One Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 It's amazing...every once in a while you think of wrestlers who might pass away dead in a hotel and people like Jake Roberts always come to mind, not atheletes like Curt Henning... My heart wants to say that it was something natural but my mind knows all to well.
Guest bob_barron Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 First Davey Boy- now Curt. I still don't understand why they go
Guest HartFan86 Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Wow.....already National News.
Guest Choken One Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 How do you mean that? Is it on CNN or something? It's not like Henning was Andre or Owen...
Guest Human Fly Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 Just got home and flipped on the 'net. Last news I was expecting to hear. Sad day in wrestling history. This may sound dumb, but one of the things I'll always remember about Curt was how he spit out his gum. When I was a kid I would always try and do that with my gum. The first time I did it I thought it was great. I'll also remember that he sold a punch better than anyone else.
