DVD Reviews of The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect
DVD Review: Almost Perfect...
Summary: 4 Stars
From seeing the DVD ste of the life and career of Curt Hennig, I have to say that while I thought the documentary and some of the extras(most notably the "Rap Is Crap" music video) was perfect, the match selection falls a little short.
Except for some of the matches, I highly reccommend this DVD on one of the greatest wrestlers who have ever lived.
DVD Review: Best Wrestling DVD Ever! ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
No hype here, this is the best wrestling DVD ever. Besides seeing some great matches (and Mr. Perfect was my all time favorite wrestling "heel"), you really get a good sense of who Curt Hennig was. The discussion about how they made the Mr. Perfect vignettes, and the bloopers from them, show alot about the man behind the character. The one thing they really didn't touch on was what brought on the drug use. I think maybe that he was cut from the WWF after his second run really depressed Curt, but of course Vince McMahon wasn't going to delve into that. Regardless, this was a fantastic DVD, and it made me both happy to relive the career of one of the best performers ever, and sad to once again think about the tragedy of such a bright light extinguished much too soon. An absolute must for the serious wrestling fan (does that sound like a contradiction in terms?)and a great example to the younger generation who want to find out who Curt was.DVD Review: Not exactly perfect
Summary: 3 Stars
Great documentary, i just wish Mr. McMahon could have been involved. However, what idiot put together the match selection? He loses every one of them in the WWE, no sign of the great loser leaves wwe match with Ric Flair or his first wrestlemania and summerslam appearances where, god forbid, he actually won. Far from perfect...DVD Review: SIMPLY PERFECT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this DVD was absolutely perfect. Along with the story of Curt you also get to see the matches. It is one DVD for the true wrestling fan. It is sad to see Macho Man postponed as well as Sting. I mean they did come out with the self destruction of the ultimate warrior. Give us fans what we want.DVD Review: A Perfectplex
Summary: 5 Stars
My first experience watching Curt Hennig was on a WWF broadcast during the early 80's from Allenstown, Pennsylvania. Before I knew it, he was gone(to the AWA). When he resuffarced again five years later, suddenly he was Perfect.
Although I wasn't a big fan of Curt back in the day, watching this DVD now has really brought me a new level of respect towards the charisma and athleticism of Mr Perfect.
His documentary is graced by such individuals as Greg Gange, Larry "The Axe", Brad Rheigans, Wade Boggs, Tony Garea, Leonice Hennig, etc. giving their personal memory and complements towards Curt. Also some old photos of Verne Gagne, Curt as a young boy, Curt & Leonice aroung high school time, and Curt's kids. Footage of Curt's matches from MSG and Allenstown is also shown. Only annoying thing about the documentary is that there was some "kayfabe" from Curt's dad.
There was one point during the Wrestlefest bout against Terry Taylor in which no one was paying attention to the in-ring action. People had their backs turned staring up into the nose-bleed sections(probably annoyed Perfect that a couple drunken brawlers got more attention than his bout). Additionally, I really enjoyed the commentary of Mick Foley & Michael Cole during the match. Foley always has interesting things to say regarding wrestling.
His World title bout against Nick Bockwinkel was an hour-long exhibition of classic mat-wrestling with many long leg and arm locks. Sure to bore fans who were bred on the ECW hardcore stuff. Obviously, Bockwinkel, an old-school wrestler, employed a match psychology from another era of wrestling.
My only gripe with this collection, same as with most WWE collections, is the selection length of matches. They could've easily made this a 3 DVD set with twice the amount of matches. Perfect had a long career and many great matches. Why not showcase it?
Overall though, I really enjoyed viewing this set. Soon as I popped in the DVD and heard that regal theme from Mr. Perfect, all the wrestling memories started flooding in for me. The Perfect vignettes were also really enjoyable to relive. Obviously, whether you are a Curt Hennig fan or a wrestling fan in general(especially of the older stuff), it behooves you to get your paws on a copy of The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect.
Description of The Life and Times of Mr. Perfect
Curt Hennig was just like his wrestling nickname, "perfect" in every aspect of his wrestling style. He got his start in a wrestling family with his father Larry the Axe Hennig, went through Verne Gagne s training camp, and gained experience in the AWA, reaching the pinnacle as the AWA Heavyweight Champion. But Curt Hennig s biggest spotlight would shine in WWE, when he became Mr. Perfect, a two-time Intercontinental Champion and 2007 inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame.General DVDs
