Mr. Perfect seems out of place. All the others are nicknames that were used interchangeably at one time with the wrestler's real or stage name...Macho Man Randy Savage, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels, Bret the Hitman Hart, etc. He was never called "Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig." He was Mr. Perfect in WWF, then he switched to WCW and just went by his real name.
