Last few minutes. Curt Hennig was the mystery partner. He's not over with this crowd at all. Hennig ends up turning on DDP after a misunderstanding, leaving Hall and Savage to finish off DDP. Wow did they use Hennig terribly (not that I really think he had much to add at this point anyway).

Hennan drops the classic "He's in the best shape of his life" that you drop when a guy comes back looking fat. Hey, even Scott Hall made fun of his gut during the match. Hennig is not over, and coming out during DDP's music wearing an old Mr. Perfect singlet with the straps down (always hated that) really doesn't help. Bischoff wrongfully assumed any former WWF guy would be percieved as a huge star. Plus he was miscast as a babyface, and the turn was predictable as hell as every time Perfect appeared on TV for an angle in the last 4 years, he turned on the guy he was supposed to help (Luger at WM X as a loyal referee and Mero in 96 as some sort of mentor). Add tp this the botch spot which Savage kinda saved by immediately jumping on Hennig as he saw he didn't went over the top rope, you got a reciepe for a super underwhelming match, which it also was as far as the work went, with Hall looking sloppy. And yeah, why in the hell would you trust Hennig after that and try to recruit him in the Horsemen, especially considering the kayfabe history between him & Flair.

Hennig strolled on out with DDP to NO reaction at all. Not only was he physically shot but occasional guest appearances and commentary shots just weren't enough to keep him in the public eye. Curt can't even execute his backflip bump over the ropes. I liked Executive Consultant Curt more than Loss, but the era of the managers was pretty much dead. And then there wasn't even much of a followup to this--Hennig costs DDP a match against Syxx the next night, cuts a promo on Kimberly, and...nothing. It's Horsemen-recruitin' time.
