* UrExample: For the technically gifted wrestlers who lacked an outlandish character but made up for it due to his skill, he along with Wrestling/BretHart were this during the wrestling boom in the 80's. In a time where most wrestling in the WWF all had to have some cartoony vibe to it, Perfect's gimmick was grounded in that he was just really good at what he did and he was able to be over with the fans due to witnessing how good he really was. Guys like Wrestling/ChrisBenoit and Wrestling/AJStyles based their wrestling characters on how good they were at wrestling just like how Perfect did.

** Another one worthy of mention is put rubber bands over a couple of tube socks and shoved them down the front of his pants. GorillaMonsoon, who was notoriously visually impaired, didn't realize it, so Curt came out and wrestled a job match, with what appeared to be a huge boner. Needless to say, VinceMcMahon was not happy about this and went to yell at Monsoon for allowing Curt to go out there like that. Curt promptly received a chewing out when he got backstage from an irritated Monsoon.
