Guest Some Guy Report post Posted May 8, 2002 I'd add him destroying Hogan's WWF title on SNME in 1990 or late 89. Drawing the "Perfect" nimber in the 90 Rumble and being the last guy out. His match with Bret at KOTR 93 Turning of Flair at FallBrawl 98 Getting one of the coolest gimmicks ever His matches with Hogan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 9, 2002 Hey let's not forget that awesome Prime Time Wrestling episode in November´92 where he turned on Flair and Hennan while sitting at the same table as Hennan in the studio with his future Survivor Series partner Randy Savage joining via satelite trying to convince him to side with him while Flair and Razor Ramon are going nuts over another satelite. When Perfect said that he's back with that cocky confident smile and then finished with the Flair woooo I went crazy. Remember he had been away from the ring for over a year and no comeback had been hinted. Everything just came out of nowhere thanks the Ultimate Warrior leaving so quickly. A Perfect comeback.

Guest RetroRob215 Report post Posted May 9, 2002 I can't believe I forgot that one, it led to one of my all-time favorite matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 11, 2002 That was the greatest moment of PTW. Hennan addd to it as well. The Water spill was a great touch along with the "Whoo!" and that led to two great Pre-Match promos and a great HOT match that is generally forgotten between Savage/Perfect Vs Flair/Ramon. That was one of WWF's biggest mistakes. They failed to follow Henning's momentum after he defeated Flair in the Retirement match. They should have had him face Micheals at WM9 and won the I.C title back, Faced Bret Hart in the KOTR finals in a Major FACE-FACE showdown that would have been ****...follow that up with him starting a feud with Yokozuna (NOT LEX LUGER) and that would have been done right but instead they gave him Luger at WM9 and one year later he was a drunk Commentator.

Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted May 11, 2002 The best two are when he destroyed Hogan and smashed the belt & when he turned on Flair and Heenan. Long live Mr. Perfect, and damn Hogan for ending Hennig's push in 1990! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest alfdogg Report post Posted May 12, 2002 Actually, it was Fall Brawl '97 where he turned on Flair. Special ref at WMX...no title reign for you, Lex! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest papacita Report post Posted May 12, 2002 Thinking about that episode of Prime Time actually makes me miss the days of being a mark. Since I had been watching wrestling the Ultimate Warrior was my favorite and I pretty much hated Perfect because he was a bad guy and he was with Ric Flair. In that one moment, Perfect made me forget all about Warrior and he instantly became my favorite. As for my favorite Perfect moments....the retirement match with Flair and the whole build up surrounding it. I mean the week before on Raw, Perfect and Flair fighting all over the Manhattan Center, then the Royal Rumble when Perfect came in and went right after Flair. Shit, I was going around knife edge chopping my friends for weeks after that feud. Also his return at Survivor Series 95 (even if it was for commentary only), his turn on Mero in 96, those little videos they used to play for him to prove that he's the perfect athlete (my fav was the one where he caught his own football pass, just for the fact that I used to go crazy whenever he did that stuff), his attack on Beefcake and the 90 Royal Rumble, and I'll even throw in him throwing the towel in Shawn Michaels' face, causing him to lose the I-C Title to Marty Jannetty. It's a shame he never got a WWF Title run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
