I just heard a report that Curt Henning was found dead.
Can anyone confirm this?

We have the unfortunate task of reporting this story. Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig was found dead in a hotel room in Tampa, Florida today.
Hennig was in town for a show being promoted by Jimmy Hart at the Tampa State Fairgrounds. He was last seen this morning around 9:30 AM by Mickey Jay in his room alive and in good spirits
A few hours later, Hennig was supposed to show up at the gym to work out. When he didn't arrive, a workout partner went back to the room and he was found dead at the age of 44.
We have no more details at this time. We send our deepest condolences out to the Hennig family and friends.
all i can say is he was a legend who will be missed in the wrestling industry

This is terrible. I hope they pay proper respect tonight on RAW. He was definitely one of my all time favorites and I enjoyed watching him as IC champ when I was younger.

They could have done more of a tribute on RAW. They should have done a short video clip with Vince doing a voice over.

They probably didn't have a lot of time to do a video tribute on such short notice. It only happened late this afternoon.
