was curt henning worthy of being ranked so high on the list? i enjoyed the mr. perfect run, especially the very beginning with those cool promos, but is he really in the top 15 of all time?
As far as ring skill he would have to rank higher than Bret Hart. Bret has more belts but much like Nash he was champ in a down time. He had a heck of a run in the AWA before the WWF as well.
i have 0 exposure to AWA, but even all that said, is he a top 15 guy? not an opinion-backed statement, i would never think so, but im sure i dont knowenough to properly judge.
being a general fan of my era, i'd name a handful of guys higher than perfect -- im just curious to know if there's, like, this remarkable portion of his history that i missed.
as far as talent wise, absolutely. Hennig, like Rick Rude, was all around excellent performer-great ring skills, great on promos, etc. he had a lot of very memorable feuds and moments in his career. the problem is, he never really went higher than the mid-card in either WWF or WCW. he could've easily had great title runs in either promotion but was never really given the opportunity. so from a career perspective, probably not top fifteen. but on a pure talent level, absolutely.
