WWE Color Commentator Pat McAfee paid tribute to late WWE Hall of Famer “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig during last night’s episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown in Minneapolis.
Shortly after Sasha Banks made her return, the cameras then cut directly to McAfee and Michael Cole. After they ran down the rest of the show, and recapped Reginald’s 24/7 Title victory from last Monday’s Raw, McAfee did the signature Mr. Perfect pencil flip, which was his on air tribute to Hennig.
Hennig was born in Robbinsdale, MN. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007, four years following his passing on February 10, 2003 at the age of 44.
