Celebrate Wrestling - McGuire on Wrestling

There have been few people in the professional wrestling world as praised in and out of the ring as Curt Hennig.

With wrestling in his blood, Hennig would start as the son of a legend, only to become one in his own right.  While some say that never being a world champion in WWE or WCW was a missed opportunity, join Stefan Bennett and co-host Mike McGuire for a look back at Hennig's career.

What you'll get is a story not just about championships, but of a legacy that goes beyond "titles", as a timeless performer who passed too soon.
