Does anyone know if this is true? In 1996, Mr Perfect left the WWF for WCW right after HHH beat Marc Mero for the IC title. Had Perfect not left, he was to manage a stable that included Steve Austin, Brian Pillman, and HHH.

I hadn't heard that... I just remember him turning on Mero and assisting Triple H win the IC title. It got really confusing towards the end because I don't think it was ever revealed why Mr. Perfect actually joined Triple H in the first place.

I heard before that he was going to start a feud with triple h after he helped him win the ic title..but it could have been one of those set up things..but he left to wcw as u stated so it was scrapped..dont know about the stable thing..it could have been likely.

He actually was feuding with Triple H while he was Mero's mentor... he'd go down to the ringside during Triple H's matches and "steal" Triple H's valet.

The plan was for Perfect to challenge HHH to a match, but for HHH to injure him backstage before the match as we saw and for Mero to take Perfect's place. Then Perfect would setup Mero by helping HHH win the IC title in nicely planned ploy. However at this time Mr Perfect was claiming an insurance for his back injury from Lloyds of London and the plan was just for him to become HHH's advisor/manager. But when Lloyds of London got wind of Perfect's impending return to the ring for a match they cancelled his insurance policy. Therefore Mr Perfect was angered that Vince had put him in the situation where he lost half his income, as he was claiming money for working as a commentator and also the insurance money that he was being paid out, but with him being advertised to wrestle, Lloyds of London thought he had made a full recovery and the insurance was no longer needed. So Perfect made a call to WCW and they made him an offer. Which he took, I think the reason he left so promptly was cause Vince had put him in that situation where he lost a lot of money, so did what he could to get back at him. If he had never particpated in that angle he would have probably stayed as a commentator, as he had no reason to get back in the ring as he was financially better off out of it.

^ Didn't know that Raine. Thanks for the input.
I believe the story was Perfect turned on Mero to help HHH win the IC Belt. Perfect and HHH were supposed to be a wrestler and manager/advisor duo. Eventually, the story would fold on one of two ways:
A) HHH was to make Perfect look inferior thus making a HHH vs. Perfect feud B) Perfect was going to secretly help HHH and when the time was right turn on him and win back the IC belt.
I believe option A was the way the WWF was looking.

Try reading the other posts before you speak again. Oh I was too lazy to read that long post that the other user made. I skimmed through it and it said why he left.
