Outlook - Dennis Knight is one of the most underrated workers of the WWF's peak years. He began a long partnership with Mark Canterbury that lasted until Canterbury's retirement in 1999. First they were a pair of masked roughnecks, Tex Slazenger and Shanghai Pierce. Canterbury jumped to the WWF and became a pig farmer and Knight soon joined him as his dumb cousin. The Godwinns, as they were known, had runs as babyfaces and heels. They enjoyed a good three year run as WWF was on the upswing and then Canterbury's injury came. Knight had been a solid hand and was given a role in The Undertaker's Ministry. That gimmick stuck and aside from some hilarious stints that played to his natural talents as a comedic entertainer, Mideon has remained a demented heel. Though he's in his mid-30s, Mideon has another run in him and hopefully he'll get the chance.
