Pretty cool video about Mr. Perfect from wrestling

What am I missing? Is he a pool player?
I don't know if it is shown in this video, but when the WWF did vignettes of the "Mr Perfect" character, it showed Curt doing sports themed actives showing that he was "perfect." The sports items were bowling a strike, shooting a basketball from half court and making it, and others. In one vignette, it showed him make the famous "Butterfly Shot." That is the only pool think I can tie into the Curt Hennig and the Mr Perfect character.

Gorst vs SVB, race to 40 for 20k

The business model is to get the stakehorses and rail bettors involved. :oops:
I don't think that's the business model for this match, but I am reminded of:

I wasn't there, but I heard the story from reliable sources. Back when there were some big tournaments in South Lake Tahoe (1980s?), there was a strange one pocket matchup between Ronnie Allen and Bucktooth Cook. The spot was 2-1 with a full rack. Two balls to one ball. The witnesses did not report which of the players came out on top, but the rail lost $30,000.
