Dennis Knight as Mideon
Mideon, better known as Dennis Knight, started working with the WWF in 1996 as part of a tag team known as The Godwinns, who won the WWF Tag Team Championships on two different occasions, in the following two years.

However, after suffering a cracked C7 vertebra in 1997, Mideon unexpectedly had to retire from in-ring competition the following year due to the gruesome neck injury he had initially suffered the previous year.
But that was apparently not the final chapter in Dennis Knight's interesting Pro Wrestling career, as, in the very same year, Knight made his return to the WWF and immediately entered a storyline with The Undertaker's satanic faction, The Ministry of Darkness.

Under his stint with The Ministry, Knight was officially renamed as Mideon and quite arguably had the most memorable run in the WWF. But, following the disbanding of The Ministry, things didn't really head towards any sort of positive direction for Mideon, as he eventually departed from the WWE on good terms in 2001.
Following his tenure with the WWF, Knight made his return to his home in Tampa, Florida and spent most of his time in training all of his students at Steve Keirn's Pro Wrestling school and in the meantime, also continued to wrestle for some local Florida based promotions as well.
After officially retiring from in-ring competition in 2006, Knight eventually started working as a chef in Clearwater, Florida.
