Hey, let's humiliate our performers! That is pretty much the whole point of this match, right?

It came about thanks to the much-missed character Henry O. Godwinn, otherwise known as the first WWE superstar that Ryback ever met. Godwinn was a hog farmer from Arkansas (Henry O. Godwinn - H.O.G, get it?), and his natural foe was none other than the snob from Connecticut, Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

The match happened at In Your House 5, where Godwinn had his dirtiest hogs shipped in from Arkansas to sit and stew in a pen, slop and all. To win the match, all one had to do was throw their opponent into the pen, but despite Helmsley managing this he still found himself losing the war.

Godwinn may have been back-dropped into the pen, but HHH soon found himself in there too. H.O.G threw him around somewhat, leaving Helmsley quite literally rolling around in pig sh*t.

There was another Hog Pen match a decade or so later featuring Santino Marella, Vickie Guerrero, and Chavo Guerrero - but nobody wants to read about that.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
