Wrestling Timelines: The Ministry Of Darkness

17. Dennis Knight Becomes Mideon (December 28, 1998)

Once a member of The Godwinns and Southern Justice, Dennis Knight was switched to a darker persona in late 1998. Abducted by The Acolytes, Knight was held captive by The Undertaker and tortured in an attempt to reinvent him as a character. That new guise turned out to be Mideon, and Knight became the latest member of The Ministry Of Darkness. This was part of a recruitment policy designed to keep Undertaker on television and continue the story that he was vying to take over the WWF from Vince McMahon.
