"Mr. Perfect Curt Henning"
Should have a a Perfect dvd but no, it`s good but not quite perfect.
Document part is emotionally ups an downs from stort to the end. It`s very good and entertaining documentary (could have been longer thought)
As extras dvd has 14 Mr.Perfect vingnettes that are very entertaining.

Dvd set includes matches from `82 to `98. Agaist guys like: Terry Taylor, Nick Bockwinkel, Hulk Hogan, Texas Tornado, Shawn Michaels and Bret "Hitman" Hart
There are two matches above others. First is match that made Curt a star:

60-Minute Time Limit AWA World Heavyweight Championship Match
Curt Hennig vs. Nick Bockwinkel
AWA Championship Wrestling (15/11/86)

And second is ABSOLUTELY masterpice with Bret Hart:

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match
Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect
SummerSlam (26/08/91).

I can`t believe that this is only 2 disc set. Where are matches from `94 to `02 (exception Hitman vs. Henning `98 UNCENSORED PPV)
I would have liked to have seen Curt matches at WCW and he`s return to WWE in 2002.
Those could easily filled third disc and give comprehensive picture at Curts career.

So with third disc and little longer documentary part this dvd could have been Perfect for a man who was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

An Icon of Total Perfection, Curt Hennig portrayed his Mr Perfect character with absoloute perfection.

This DVD truly captures Curt as a human being away from the ring and compliments his wrestling career. Very easy to watch and I dare anyone with a heart not to connect with the story of his loss to his family and friends.

Though Curt is no longer with us, this DVD will truly serve as an amazing tribute to him.

True wrestling fans will remember him far more than just spitting out gum and swatting it away.

After watching this DVD everyone will relaise what he has said all along.....He's absoloutely PERFECT! :)

Selfish Note: As of today, nobody, and I mean nobody has ever done a leapfrog/bounce into the rope and end with a dropkick quite like Mr.Perfect.

Perfect from start to finish. Can make any opponent look like a world beater and gave so much to the fans, and opponents, in every match - as a heel and as a face. Great to see early matches in his AWA days before he became known as Mr Perfect.

Great dvd i'm glad they done a story about him and not just have two discs of matches wwe need to do more docs on the wrestlers but back to the dvd it has 14 main chapters to the doc and 2 special features 10 matches 14 vignettes which are awesome to watch again after all these years and two extra stories. the only thing that would have been nice was a third disc of matches or something else. all in all it's a great buy i joined this whole site when i saw it was only ?8.99 i knew i had to buy it.

Great DVD of the life of Mr Perfect.
Good to know how he came to WWE and how he was one of their top superstars in the late 80's - early 90's.
I would recommend this to any wwe fan young and old

All i Can Say is Wow Got this Dvd in the post this afternoon, just finished the First Disc =] Now On too the 2nd disc i wish that the other wwe superstars dvd what are out would be like this one with the first disc Having a Great Doc on the super star then 2nd & even 3rd disk full of matchs not like some with 3 disc's full of matchs Abit much for me i like to learn about that person more then see the match's ..But this Dvd is Just Perrrfect the matchs the exta's Everything is Great : ) a Must Buy For Any Wrestling Fan

The doc is good and it has some of MrPerfect best mathes. The only let down for me was it should of been 3 disc with the third disc having more of his perfect matches.

A totally deserved tribute to a great wrestler,one of the best in the business!Mr.Perfect(r.i.p.)was really perfect as words can?t describe his in ring ability!But the 2 disc set could be better with matches against Ric Flair in the infamous loser leaves wwe match from the 25th January 1993 edition of raw!Still a good dvd,BUY IT!

Mr perfect was one of wrestlings great icons,his death was a tragedy and further more he never wore the WWF title,which isnt as tragic of course but is still a sore point with many.This dvd release features an informative and entertaining documentary,ultimately it is sad towards the end but serves as a reminder of curts talents both in the ring and on the mic and we learn alot about the man he was outside the ring,his death is brushed over,we gather its my drugs but no one mentions it,fair enough i guess.Disc one also features all of his vignettes showing that he was perfect at all he did from bowling to darts.
Disc two features several matches spanning his career,some matches are good and some are average enough,some are indeed short and better matches could indeed have been picked on some fronts,this is just a small gripe.
This dvd is close to perfect overall and i recommend it to all,a real lesson.

An absoultely perfect dvd.... sorry I just had to sayit.

A great documetary about a man who was gifted inside and outisde the ring. It's a terrible tradgey what happened to him but it was brilliant to see him entered into the hall of fame.

Shame there wasnt many matches from WCW & AWA days but a good selection of matches overall

WWE's elite production team has the footage and the skills to make masterful tributes to their stars from before, during, and after their tenures with the company. Though their biographies lean toward aggrandizement over factual statements, they still dominate in presentation, and The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect is no exception.

In typical WWE style, through interviews, photographs, and match footage, we learn the entire history of "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig. From the early days watching his father, Larry "The Axe" Hennig in Minnesota, coming up the ranks with (future Genius and brother of Randy Savage) Leapin' Lanny Poffo; through championships, hard times, and redemption until his untimely death as a result of a cocaine overdose. I always find it funniest to see the interviews with old wrestlers who, even in cases of awful wrestlers like Greg Gagne, always find a little time to talk about how great they are in the ring, no matter what subject they're supposed to be talking about. One odd thing about this biography in particular, over others that WWE has released, is the Wade Boggs overload. He was a great baseball player and Hennig's friend, but when he weepily goes on about Hennig helping him out of barbed wire and saving his life, it goes pretty well overboard.

The program itself runs a little over an hour but, as usual for these releases, the value is in the matches.

Hennig vs. Eddie Gilbert: In his first-ever match in the venerable Madison Square Garden, the man who would be perfect takes on the late, great "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert. They were inexperienced here, but it's easy to see how both got to be such big stars.

Hennig & Scott Hall vs. Steve Regal & Jimmy Garvin: Hey Yo! Hennig teams with a porn-ready Scott Hall against a future Freebird and "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal. Hennig was an underrated tag team wrestler and this is a pretty good match from two good teams.

Hennig vs. Nick Bockwinkle (AWA Title): This match, heavily talked about during the main program, is the what brought Hennig into the big time. Bockwinkle could carry anyone to a good match but, with a blue-chipper like Hennig, this match is a clinic of old-school wrestling.

Hennig vs. Terry Taylor: In spite of the Mr. Perfect origins discussed on the main program, guest commentators Mick Foley and Michael Cole explain that this match was, in essence, to decide you got to use the gimmick. One of these guys became perfect; the other became a red rooster.

Mr. Perfect vs. Bret Hart: Hennig has finally become Mr. Perfect and takes on "The Hitman" for the first of three contests in this match list. These two legends, though not as good as what they would become, tear it up in the ring, performing a style that would become the standard-bearer in wrestling for the next decade.

Perfect vs. Hulk Hogan (WWE Title): Technically, this match is for the Heavyweight Championship but, since this is a TV match involving the Hulkster, there is no doubt as to who is walking home with the belt. Still, Mr. Perfect draws a fairly decent match out of the normally unwatchable Hogan. Hulk even lets Perfect give him the Perfectplex, his signature fisherman's suplex. Do you think he gets the pin with it? Neither did I.

Perfect vs. "The Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich (WWE Intercontinental Title): Von Erich, once a great star in Texas, is a shadow of his former self. No matter how hard Perfect tries, there is no carrying him a good match. By far the worst match on the set, it's hard to see why they decided to include it.

Perfect vs. Bret Hart (WWE IC Title): Back to some real action with the second, and best, of the three matches included here. Two years after the first contest, both had developed physically and psychologically. Classic stuff.

Perfect vs. Shawn Michaels (WWE IC Title): Maybe the best match on the card, Shawn Michaels is a true showstopper and he's at his peak here. Perfect works him on the mat and Michaels works Perfect through the air; it's a great mix of styles.

Perfect vs. Bret Hart: The final match and third of the trilogy is a good tribute to two great wrestlers, but neither is on the level he once was. Five years after the previous match, Perfect had been beset with injuries and the NWO bit had already become extremely stale. It is nice to see Rick Rude though, just a short time before he died.

WWE's production is always spectacular. The video looks great, even in the oldest TV footage. Sound is as clear as the day these matches originally aired. On top of all the matches, they fill out this two-disc set with a boat load of Perfect vignettes, more interviews and, in the worst possible way to remember the great Curt Hennig, the infamous "Rap Is Crap" video. I never thought I'd have to sit through that again. As they often do, as well, there are a few Easter Eggs with some amusing extra vignettes.

Not guilty. This set is absolutely... perfect.

Firstly, I thought that the documentary on the first dvd was excellent, and was one of the best that the WWE have produced yet. Very informative and fast paced, yet giving the appropriate amount of detail to each topic. It was also very moving towards the end. The 'Perfect' vignettes at the end of the first dvd are also excellent, and make for great viewing. Seeing characters like Mr Perfect at their best remind me of why I started to like wrestling all those years ago as a kid!

As for the matches - I think they let this dvd down big time. The AWA matches are very average, and in my view, the Nick Bockwinkel one alone would have sufficed in showcasing Hennig during his earlier formative years. As for the WWE matches, these are also very unspectacular, though that is not to say that they aren't entertaining. The majority are taken from WWF Madison Garden shows, so are short and predictable in outcome. Perhaps some of Hennig's more important and relevant pay per view outings would have been better to give that 'big show' feel to the dvd. Also, the final WCW match is also a strange choice, although it is a nice touch to see Hennig and Rick Rude together.

So overall, this is a good dvd and worth ?15. However, personally, I was left with the feeling at the end that as much as Mr Perfect was a great performer and a great worker, he never truly achieved on the biggest stage what he could and should have...

Like many, I grew up in the times of Mr Perfect so this DVD was a must have for me.

This 'tribute' brought back so many memories, and the vignettes I could remember like yesterday, and i'm glad that they included, what in my mind was the best Intercontinental Title match of all time, Bret Hart vs Mr Perfect Summerslam 91.

There will never be another one like him because he was absolutely Perfect.

This was a decent dvd release for one of my fav wrestlers growing up.
The documentary did move at quite a fast pace but was well put together and it was nice to hear some of his family members speak about him. Shame they missed certain points in his career such as his feud with the Texas Tornado and his first WWE comeback when he teamed up with Randy Savage. The vignettes were great to see. A few I remember seeing years ago and there were many I had never seen before.
I honestly think the line up of matches were disappointing. Many of them either ended in in a draw or a loss. Jerry Lawler said the AWA title march was his fav match so that should have been included. They also should have included the battle royal he won, his first Intercontinental title victory over Tito Santana, the match with the Texas Tornado when he regained the title and the loser leaves WWE match versus Ric Flair. Three matches with Bret Hart was too much and they should have taken out one and included a different match.
I'm happy I bought this dvd release but it's unfortunate that they it wasn't as good as it could have been.

A great DVD, one of the best profile DVDs, in one word PERFECT!!!!!
