16 Most Illustrious Fake Families In Wrestling History

This may not be saying much, but the Godwinns were the premier hog-farming tag team of the mid-1990s. Henry O. Godwinn and Phineas I. Godwinn (GET IT DO YOU GET IT?) first began teaming in the old USWA. Henry was Master Blaster, while Phineas worked under the extremely 2013 NXT name of "Tex Salinger". They soon made their way to WCW, where they metamorphosed into Tex Slazenger and Shanghai Pierce.

They finally wound up in WWE in 1995, billed variously as cousins or brothers and managed by Hillbilly Jim. It was never explicitly stated whether or not they were actually supposed to be his kin, which is unfortunate for the purposes of this article; that would mean the Godwinns were also related to Uncle Elmer, Cousin Luke (not the Bushwhacker), and Cousin Junior.

Although Jim's possible kinship with the Godwinns remains a tantalizing mystery, they were explicitly stated to be related to their heel manager, Uncle Cletus, better known as T.L. Hopper and the Dirty White Boy.
