Joe Hennig
Height – 6’3"
Weight – 235lbs.
Hometown – Champlin, MN
Joe is the grandson of Larry "The Axe" Hennig
and the son of "Mr. Prefect" Curt Hennig. Even though Joe watched every
match of his father’s "Perfect" career, Curt always encouraged Joe to
pursue an education and didn’t want him to get involved in the business.
Over the years, Curt’s feelings changed and about a year prior to Curt’s
death, he and his father had conversations about Joe pursuing a career
in professional wrestling. After Curt’s death in 2003, Olympic Wrestler
Brad Rheingans approached Joe about
following his father’s foot-steps. Brad Rheingans ran a wrestling school
in the heart of Minnesota and respected reputation throughout the
industry. Joe trained with Brad for about a year and began to feel what
it takes to get in the ring. After Brad’s camp shut down, Joe had to
look elsewhere to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional wrestler.
Joe’s grandfather, Larry, told him there was only one place to
go. It was Eldon, Missouri. In June of 2007 Joe packed his bags and
headed to Eldon and joined the Harley Race Wrestling Academy. Harley and
BJ Race welcomed Joe into the WLW family with open arms.
Joe made his pro wrestling debut on July 13th, 2007 in
Waterloo, IA. He teamed up with fellow 3rd generation
wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr. Joe knows he has some big shoes
to fill but he is excited about this opportunity and is looking forward
to entertaining his fans. Joe’s athleticism, hard work and determination
paints the future of the next 3rd generation wrestler.
Joe graduated with an Associates of Science Degree in Business
Computer Systems and Management from North Hennepin Community College.
He also participated in Football, Baseball and Wrestling throughout his
high school career.
