History YMMV / CurtHennig

* AwesomeEgo

* TooCoolToLive

* MisaimedFandom: During his run with the West Texas Rednecks, their feud with the No Limit Soldiers actually saw many WCW fans (especially in the South) side with them, since they came off as the underdogs and the Soldiers as bullies and {{Designated Hero}}es. Their goofy novelty song "Rap is Crap (I Hate Rap)" actually got some radio airplay because of it.

* OlderThanTheyThink: Wrestling/CMPunk's stint as a commentator is very much like Hennig's when he was put on the ''Raw'' broadcast team with Wrestling/VinceMcMahon while rehabbing an injury.
* RootingForTheEmpire: It can be really difficult to hate Mr.Perfect. Even when up against a beloved babyface wrestler.

* BullyingADragon: During the infamous "Plane Ride From Hell", Hennig ([[AlcoholInducedIdiocy thoroughly sloshed]] at the time) saw fit to threaten '''''[[Wrestling/BrockLesnar BRRRROCK LESNARRRRRR]]''''' during the latter's initial push.... on ''the plane''. Brock, new to the business, couldn't make heads or tails of it, but his seating partner Wrestling/PaulHeyman said that if he didn't answer Curt's challenge, he would never live it down backstage. If you were wondering, Brock won handily, and also nearly accidentally threw Curt out of the emergency exit while the plane was in mid-flight, which would certainly have gotten several people sucked out to their deaths.

* SoBadItsGood: WWF aired vignettes to promote the debut of Mr.Perfect, which showed him excelling at a variety of sports to a ridiculous extent and looking smug while doing it. The vignettes did work, however, as Perfect became one of the most hated heels in the company.
** NarmCharm: It was a dorky gimmick when you get right down to it, but Curt Hennig was one of the few men in the business, if not the ''only'' man, that could've pulled it off.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: His classic [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} WWF]] theme was a knock-off of ''Theme from Exodus''.
** He used ''Theme from Exodus'' for a period after his debut before it was changed.
*** FridgeLogic: Why would your ''entrance'' music be called "Exodus?"
** His TNA theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ir6-W89IsAI "Champion"]] was a combination of We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions.
