Fuji instead of counting the pinfall and turned heel again. Perfect was set to start another rivalry with Luger, during which he explained that he screwed Luger because of Luger's illegal win over Perfect the previous year at WrestleMania IX. However, plans were scrapped off after Hennig's back problems flared up again.

He left the WWF in the spring of Hennig took a year off to recover from a back injury until he returned to the company as a color commentator at the Survivor Series pay-per-view in Later in , McMahon left and Ross switched to the play-by-play role. In the mid, Hennig was placed in an angle with Hunter Hearst Helmsley , where he would come out to the ringside during Helmsley's matches and steal his female escorts , which would often cause distraction for Helmsley and affect his performance in matches.

It appeared Helmsley's attack left Perfect injured and unable to compete. This all turned out to be a ruse for the purpose of suckering Mero into defending his title against Helmsley. With help from Perfect, Helmsley won the title from Mero. Perfect left the WWF once again shortly before Survivor Series , making his last televised appearance on the November 5 episode of Raw. Perfect ring name was trademarked by the WWF, he began competing under his real name.

He debuted in WCW as a fan favorite on the June 30 episode of Monday Nitro , during a brawl which erupted after the main event. Shortly after his debut, he became a top favourite of both Four Horsemen and the New World Order nWo as both factions showed interest in recruiting him. He ultimately joined the Four Horsemen, taking the spot of the retiring Arn Anderson. Anderson's implorement that Hennig take "his spot" was the subject of the following week's parody of the Horsemen by the nWo, which lead to the WarGames match. The whole thing turned out to be a setup as Hennig betrayed the Horsemen and joined the nWo, handcuffing the other Horsemen to the cage and then slamming the steel cage door into Ric Flair's head, [15] afterward claiming he had "destroyed the Horseman" and as a further slap to Flair, claimed to be "the wrestler that made Minnesota famous", thus becoming a villain.

In the fall of , Hennig was joined by his childhood best friend Rick Rude in the nWo. He was sidelined due to a knee injury in the mid However, the two villains did not really fit in with the fan favorite Wolfpac faction, especially when Rude would still get on the microphone and tell the fans to shut up. Konnan lost the match, and afterward both Hennig and Rude attacked him, removing themselves from the Wolfpac and joining nWo Hollywood. In the fall of , Hennig began feuding with Horseman Dean Malenko over his betrayal of the Four Horsemen the previous year [54] which resulted in a match between the pair at September's Fall Brawl pay-per-view, which Hennig lost.

However, he was kicked out of the group after speaking against the leaders on the January 25 episode of Nitro. The group members were presented as southern country musicians. After the Rednecks disbanded, Hennig began a storyline, in which he stated that he was following orders from " the powers that be " that if he lost any match by pinfall , he must retire. He remained on the WCW television, continuing to make sporadic appearances with the company. Perfect" character and even used entrance music composed to sound like Mr. Hennig was a franchise star for the short lived Xcitement Wrestling Federation where he had a brief run.

The promotion quickly went under due to the WWF buying out many of its major talent, including Hennig himself. During the buildup for January's Royal Rumble , it was announced that Hennig would be returning as one of the 30 combatants. Hennig, again billed as "Mr. Perfect" although his real name was widely acknowledged , entered the Royal Rumble at 25, and was one of the final three competitors before being eliminated by eventual winner Triple H. His performance, along with the positive reaction of the Atlanta crowd, earned Hennig a full-time contract with the WWF.

Perfect appeared the next night on Raw in a match with Val Venis. Hennig was released from the company on May 7, due to a physical confrontation with Brock Lesnar. Among other incidents of drunkenness , the tussle took place on the infamous "Plane Ride from Hell". On October 9, he made his debut in a six man tag team match, as the mystery partner of Syxx-Pac and B. He got a title shot the following week on October 16 against Killings but lost due to interference from Jarrett. Hennig got another shot at Killings on October 23 the match ended when Hennig lost due to similar interference from Mr.

On November 27, Hennig teamed with B. Hennig received his last World title shot on December 11, this time against new champion Jeff Jarrett, but he failed once again to capture the gold. But this novel is an example of why I turned up my nose at the genre 25 years ago.

Life is too short to waste on drivel. I can see where this book is going from miles away. Yeah, men are so sucky. Don't talk like that. What's the perfect man? You're taking it too far. Okay, he would definitely have to be faithful. Well, if you think so. Yeah, that's MOST important.

What about a sense of humor? You are SO right. A sense of humor. He should be good looking. He should be great in bed. He should be rich. He should be responsible. He should have a ten inch penis. I already know this is a murder suspense romance. The next door neighbor is a cop I really have no idea what could possibly happen next. Oh, are the friends going to be murdered one by one? By a serial killer that heard about their original requirements for a man?

Or something to that effect? I seriously don't care. This is an example of severely dumbed down writing. Romance readers are idiots, right? Otherwise they would read serious literature instead of romance trash. Obviously romance readers can't handle big words or nuanced narratives. And of course, grammatical integrity, consistent voice and a plot that takes more thought than a infant can muster would just be TOO MUCH for a romance reader to handle. Why on earth her mother had wanted her to baby-sit the cat, instead of Shelley or Dave, was beyond her.

They both had kids who could play with BooBoo and keep him entertained. Since school was out for summer vacation, that meant someone was home at both their houses almost all day, every day. Jaine had to keep BooBoo. Never mind that she was single, was at work five days a week, and wasn't used to having a pet. If she did have a pet, it wouldn't be one like BooBook, anyway.

He'd been in a feline pout ever since he'd been neutered, and he took out his frustration on the furniture. In just one week, he had frayed the sofa to the point that she would have to have it reupholstered. And BooBoo didn't like her. He like her well enough when he was in his home, coming around to be petted, but he didn't like being in her home at all.

Every time she tried to pet him now, he arched his back and hissed at her. After all, Shelley was the oldest, and obviously more settled. It didn't make sense that Jaine had been chosen over her. Jaine agree with her, but that didn't soothe the hurt feelings. No, what really topped it off was that David, who was a year younger than Shelley, was mad at her too. Not because of BooBoo; David was allergic to cats, No, what had him steamed was that Dad had stored his precious car in her garage--which meant she couldn't park in her own garage, since it was a single, and it was damned inconvenient.

She wished David had the blasted car. She Wished Dad had left it in his own garage, but he'd been afraid to leave it unattended for six weeks. She understood that, but she didn't understand why she'd been chosen to baby-sit both cat and car. Shelley didn't understand the cat, David didn't understand the car, and Jaine didn't understand any of it.

I don't understand the purpose of the entire passage. Is this an obvious set-up for future happenings in the plot? The cat will be murdered and the car destroyed?

"Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig

Is this a pathetic attempt at characterization? Because now I hate Jaine and think she's a whiny baby. I feel no accord with this character. Or was this merely an attempt to pad the word count? It was all so stilted. Like a conversation with someone who gives you way too many details about a story they're about to tell and you're just sitting there thinking: For the love of God--please.

This was a great story with a spunky, sassy heroine and a gorgeous hero - wouldn't mind a bit of Sam living next door to me.

Sad, funny, mysterious - it had it all - hopefully the kindle edition will bring a new realm of readers to discover Ms Howard. View all 14 comments. Jul 11, MelissaB rated it it was amazing Shelves: This book was very funny and a good romantic suspense. The interaction between Jaine and Sam was hilarious.

She is a bit of a spit fire and he has a bit of a temper. I love the part where she sprays him with the hose then he hold her against her car. She tells him he is holding her against her will but he says he isn't, he is holding her against her car. The diagolue was great and the suspense portion was good. This is a great read if you enjoy a laugh, good romance and a bit of suspense! View all 32 comments. The list somehow makes their work newspaper and begins to cause all kinds of chaos for these four women.

It was all fun and games until one of them turns up murdered. I've read four books by Linda Howard. Perfect 4 - After the Night Standalone View all 23 comments. Segunda lectura para el reto Rita 2. Y eso vale una estrella!!! Eso me ha gustado, aunque admito que me lo he pasado tan bien leyendo esta historia surrealista que el tema del asesino me ha dado un poco igual y queda totalmente en segundo plano. Y creo que a la autora le ha pasado lo mismo. Sep 28, Mo rated it it was amazing.

I sort of knew the "wow" factor so that took away from it. I think I might have already reviewed another version so apologies if there are two reviews on here. Well, I did read it twice so maybe that's OK. I love both main characters. Knew what they wanted Sam sure is sexy. Jaine is a great heroine. Has a temper, has a backbone, has a sense of humour.

You have to get the best deal you can, but there will always be problems. It was just a kiss. View all 30 comments. Nov 09, Oana rated it did not like it Shelves: One Friday evening, after work, these four ladies go out to have a cocktail together and gossip men.

But, because of the cross phases of the moon, they end up making a horrifying unbelievable bound-to-change-the-world thing - a list about how should Mr. The list gets in the newspapers and on the evening TV news. You see, in this heavenly world these ladies are living in, where famine is gone, the Middle East is this peaceful glittering place, where there are no natural disasters, no global warming, no terrorists, no diseases, and where nobody cares about football, nor about the Kardashians and the Royal Family, there is absolutely nothing more important to show on the news than a list some random drunken ladies made in a bar.

And, guuuurl, the horror, Lady no. God save her soul if her husband for nine 9!!!!! Perfect should have a sense of humor and some money, he will be terribly offended, like the real man he is. Lady, you really should make yourself a favor and let him divorce you, buy yourself a dildo, more useful, less whiney.

Romantic suspense when written well is fantastic. I loved the suspense here, it had me stumped till past half way through when I realized I was making a grave error in my assumptions. The disturbing nature of the crimes committed were riveting and I was horrified by the inner workings of the killers mind.

We get several pov's here, with the majority being Janie's, the heroine.

Reading this was like solving an intelligent puzzle and I really enjoyed it. The romance was sweet but the sensuality was RAW.

It's hard to write like that when tackling love scenes. But instead of drawn out sex scenes and verbal catalysts, LH zeroes in on the sexual sensuality between people. Her sexy time is short but packs an intensity no lengthy and drawn out sex scene can ever accomplish. I know I've mentioned this in previous reviews of her books, but when it's that good it deserves mentioning all over again. I loved how laid back and confident Sam was. Perfect list causing a huge controversy for men all over, Sam seemed to find the whole thing amusing and not at all demeaning.

That's a man in charge of himself and confident in his abilities! There was a scene early on when Jaine catches Sam in his kitchen, naked, chugging back a container of milk. Instead of being embarrassed or scandalized, he relished in the ability to shock her and advertise exactly what she's been missing. Honestly, it was hot, and from then on I developed a respect for him and his security in being a real man. The only thing I found puzzling was the speed in which Sam and Jaine progressed in their relationship. It felt too insta love-ish. But even considering that, I loved their interaction and enjoyed the story very much.

The ending was edge-on-your-seat good, with the killer finally reaching a desperate precipice. If you haven't read LH before, start now!! My fave remains to be 'After The Night'.

See a Problem?

Yes definitely insta love here although it wasn't a problem in the other 2 books I've read. It's ok because the characters are mature not Thanks Amy! It's ok because the characters are mature not inexperienced. Dina Love your reviews of Linda Howard's work!

I've heard a LOT about her! What do you think I should read first to hook me up on her work? Heard a lot of Love your reviews of Linda Howard's work! Heard a lot of great things about this one, should I start with it? Aug 22, Karen rated it it was amazing. I read a few reviews before I started this one, so my expectations were high. And I wasn't the least bit disappointed! A few people had a hard time with the insta-love between Jaine and Sam, but for some reason it didn't bother me a bit. In fact I felt it added to Sam's incredible charm and cocky appeal.

He knew what he wanted, and he didn't waste any time playing games. What's not to love about that? I have to admit, I have a serious girl-crush on Jaine. She was so mouthy and sarcastic. A girl after my own heart. She also didn't even try to fight off the strong feelings she had for Sam. No head games here. Just a straight shooter. They were perfect together.

She was in love with the big jerk. Exactly how or what he felt was still open for discussion. The story was very suspenseful.

The killer was one sick individual. And that final showdown View all 27 comments. Nov 21, Vishous rated it it was amazing Recommended to Vishous by: This book was perfect! Perfect amount of everything! I have a soft spot for neighbors that want to strangle each other and then can't keep their hands off each other.

It's basically a win win situation for me when choosing a book. And this one didn't disappoint at all! It was funny, easy to read, hot and had a psycho to catch. I have nothing bad to say, everything was amazing but there was one Itsy Bitsy thing that had me eye rolling! And he tells her not just "I love you" but "will you marry me" hide spoiler ] I mean, really?!?! This doesn't happen even in new insta love books which are full of things like that. But I will let it slip away because I truly enjoyed this gem! Loved the story and the characters, their banter and chemistry between them. Sam was one prefect assh ole and I loved everything that came out of his mouth.

And I am def reading other books by this author, especially if there are lots of others assh oles! View all 18 comments. Oct 15, Jilly rated it liked it Shelves: Jaine works in an office with a bunch of computer nerds who provide us with some slightly funny signs on the elevators each morning. What also didn't make me Lol was when Jaine gets together with three of her friends and they write a list describing what would Jaine works in an office with a bunch of computer nerds who provide us with some slightly funny signs on the elevators each morning.

What also didn't make me Lol was when Jaine gets together with three of her friends and they write a list describing what would be their perfect man. I guess it just seemed kind of lame to me. Why would they write it down? Plus, they were described as laughing so hard through it that they were disturbing other tables at the restaurant, but I just didn't find it that funny.

It was okay, but not hilarious. Those were very funny cute-meet moments, and Sam was definitely adorable and funny. At the moment, he kinda knew how the male praying mantis felt when he was approaching Ms. Mantis, knowing the sex was going to be great but he was going to get his head bitten off.

Some things were worth losing your head. Perfect" Henning earned his nickname for "being perfect in the ring". As a matter of fact after almost two years of competing he was undefeated in straight wrestling matches. A decade later, Henning would attempt to stop the match winning streak of Bill Goldberg. However, as much as he tried, Mr. Perfect was not perfect enough to stop the Goldberg "streak".
