When you talk about contrasting characters in WWE, you can't look much further than Dennis Knight. If that name doesn't mean an awful lot to you on its own, you'll almost certainly be more familiar with his wrestling name - at least one of them - Mideon. Knight, in that character, was a part of The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness and later the Corporate Ministry when Undertaker joined forces with Vince McMahon's Corporation. He was a brooding, mysterious, and dangerous figure that did much of The Deadman's bidding.

Around three years earlier, though, Knight was wrestling for WWE under a very, very different guise. He was one-half of the of the comedy tag team of supposed hog farmers, The Godwinns, alongside his 'cousin', Henry O. Godwinn, and was named Phineas I. Godwinn (yes, those abbreviate to HOG and PIG). Between 1996 and late 1997, they took on all comers in the WWE tag team division, twice winning the Tag Team Championship.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

He played a different character after the Ministry of Darkness disbanded -- he was still Mideon, but without a group or a partner to travel the roads with, he felt a little... naked. It's best not to talk about that, though.
