"Rowdy" Roddy Piper brings it to the Steve Austin Show. Bagpipes, the double eye poke, his first match vs Larry "The Axe" Hennig, his second against Superstar Billy Graham, and why nothin' beats being a heel!
When your legacy is perfection, success is a natural. That was reality for Joe Hennig or as wrestling fans knew him better: Curtis Axel. The son of “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig and the grandson of Larry “The Axe” Hennig it wasn't a surprise when Joe Hennig first arrived in the squared circle. To fans nationally it happened around 2010 when he arrived in the WWE “Nexus” stable. It was the hottest heel stable at the time in company, filled with “bad guys” looking to dethrone the veteran WWE heroes. With perfect genetics (get it) it was no surprise he was a success in the global company where his dad was argued to be the greatest pure wrestler of his era if not all time. But his journey into wrestling wasn't as guaranteed as you might think. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's time to join the Professor, Tommy Wonder and Jay B in this special episode of pro Wrestling spotlight as they discuss one of the all-time greats! Some people spend their whole lives striving for perfection. For “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig, it’s what came natural. A flawless technician with a flair for the dramatic, Mr. Perfect did everything — you guessed it — perfectly. His dropkicks were textbook, his Perfectplex was near inescapable. He brought the Intercontinental Title a new level of credibility during his two reigns and set a higher standard for technical wrestling in WWE when he defended the championship against Bret “Hit Man” Hart at SummerSlam 1991. In his prime, the man was the pinnacle of a sports-entertainer from his curly blonde hair right down to his spotless white boots. The son of Minnesota wrestling legend Larry "The Axe" Hennig, Curt first grabbed the attention of sports-entertainment fans as a top star in Verne Gagne's American Wrestling Association. These were important steps in Hennig’s development as an in-ring talent, but his legacy would be defined by his time in WWE
