    One of the greatest performers of all time, "Mr Perfect" Curt Hennig was known for three things: being an incredible in-ring performer, being a loving and devoted friend, father, and husband, and being one of the greatest pranksters in human history! No matter what he did, Curt usually found himself at the centre of some of the biggest (and most infamous) moments in wrestling history.

  • Season 5 Episode 3: John "Jake The Barber" Factor - The Greatest Con-Man and Mobster you’ve never heard of!
    A con artist AND a mobster? Why yes! Infamous Swindler? Yes! Person with a much more famous sibling? Yep! John Factor was all of those things and so much more! Born into a hardworking family that featured a Rabbi and internationally famous Cosmetics mogul (Max Factor) John "Jake The Barber" Factor was determined to make a name for himself...just not the same way the rest of his family took. With close ties to people like JFK, Jimmy Hoffa, Arnold "The Brain" Rothstein, and even Al Capone himself, Jake The Barber may not have been a physically intimidating man, but if you messed with his money, chances are, you wouldn't last long in the dangerous world of the Chicago Mob. ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠ Artist: Sarah Chey ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠ Animation: Daniel Wilson ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music: Andrew Wilson ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheep⁠⁠⁠⁠ Want to create live streams like this?

  • Season 5 Episode 2: Akhenaten - The 'Heretic' Pharaoh
    Imagine the leader of a dynastic family takes as much power as he can away from the only other people with any power in a country and then creates a cult of personality around himself. It could only happen in ancient Egypt...right? Akhenaten ripped an entire culture apart in his quest to assert his authority over it, while simultaneously ignoring external threats to his power. He is without doubt one of the dumbest people in History! ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠ Artist: Sarah Chey ⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠ Animation: Daniel Wilson ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/⁠⁠⁠ Music: Andrew Wilson ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheep⁠⁠⁠ Want to create live streams like this?

  • Season 5 Episode 1: No Cults Please, We're British!
    In the first episode of Season 5 Lev and Derek look into a British cult...or maybe Lighthouse Global isn't a cult. Honestly, how could anyone think that? It's not like they displayed any coercive behaviour, made hollow promises, stole money from people and used it to fund extravagant lifestyles, and threatened anyone that looked into them or anything... Paul Waugh, Lighthouse's leader, describes himself as "a Christian, founder and CEO of Lighthouse Global, helping people achieve their God-given potential." His house is VERY nice. ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠ Artist: Sarah Chey ⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠ Animation: Daniel Wilson ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/⁠⁠ Music: Andrew Wilson ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheep⁠⁠ Want to create live streams like this?
