No, the family’s surname isn’t Perfect, but it could have been. Best known to WWE fans through “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig, the Hennig family’s wrestling lineage begins with Larry “The Axe” Hennig. A rough, muscular bruiser who found his biggest fame in Verne Gagne’s American Wrestling Association, The Axe was so tough that he once had his knee bent backwards in a match and refused to go to the hospital. Larry’s son, Curt, was the type of rare talent who was born to be a sports-entertainer. Built for the squared circle, the 6’3”, 260-pound Hennig was the consummate technician, which he proved in classics against Bret “Hit Man” Hart. Today, the Hennig family legacy continues with former Nexus member Michael McGillicutty — a Superstar who is just waiting for the opportunity to show sports-entertainment fans how perfect he can be.
