You see Mr. Perfect was his Nickname, that eventually became his name.
he Debuted as "mr. perfect" Curt Hennig, then became Mr. Perfect.
I hope that happens to the Alpha Male
but in keeping with the lightheartedness of the topic.
Curt is the PERFECT spelling of "Kurt"
His First Name is Mr.
OR Simply...yes Simply...Simply Perfect

Not sure if I understand the question, but the WW(F) always acknowledged Perfect's real name, Curt Henning on TV. I remember Ventura actually talking about it during the WM 5 broadcast:
Ventura: I ran into Mr. Perfect's father in the casino, Larry the Axe Henning....
Monsoon: Oh yeah, so did I...
Ventura: He still has a 24 inch neck!

Well, I never knew they acknowledged his name was Curt Hennig. I started watching wrestling in 1990.

Was he not allowed to use his real name in WCW? because I always wondered why he was Curt Hennig instead of Curt Henning

Yes, he was "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig at first, then they eventually just started calling him Mr. Perfect. Ventura mentioned Perfect's dad at WrestleMania VI as well (not by name though).

Then, what was his first name? I thought it was "Mister". You know, kayfabe? Undertaker doesn't have a "kayfabe" first name. It's not Morris Undertaker. "Morris! Don't forget to take out the garbage!" *Tossing the bag in the can* "Rest...in...peace!" "You forgot the recyclables! Morris!"

I remember when he had passed on, I think it was Brock Lesnar who recalled a story that when you would call his house, he'd answer the phone with "Minnesota's Greatest Athlete" instead of "Hello?"

Somewhere along the line the extra N was added, possibly it was just the commentators saying Hennig, and some people thought it was Henning because of the pronounciation. And Mrs. Perfect? Damn that would have been awesome. Every time she walked in you should have gone dum....DUM DUM...dum dum dum dum dum DUUUUUM.

Yes, he was "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig at first, then they eventually just started calling him Mr. Perfect. Ventura mentioned Perfect's dad at WrestleMania VI as well (not by name though). They did this a lot at the time. "The Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich was known in the WWF as only Texas Tornado after about 6 months. They mentioned several times that Mr. Perfect was Larry's son, even going so far as having him in the front row for one of his matches. I believe Heenan and Monsoon also discussed his dad during one of his squash matches. I believe that they did introduce him as "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig for most of his perfect record streak. I do clearly remember an interview with Mean Gene hyping the match-up of perfect records (Hennig's and the Blue Blazer's) where Gene called him Curt for the whole interview.

People sometimes don't even wanna believe that his name isn't Henning. I don't know why they want that to be his name so bad. But in all seriousness, his first name was Buzz.

This gives me hope that there might also be a Mr. Fantastic and Mr. Sinister out there, somewhere.
