Knight worked for WCW from 1992 to 1994 as Tex Slazenger before having his most successful run in WWE from 1996 to 2001, where he worked under the ring names Phineas I. Godwin, Mideon, and his real name. He was most notably known for being in The Godwinns, Southern Justice, and The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness fa
