Remember The Godwinns? Those pig farmers from the 90s who used to 'slop' people after matches? The duo quietly disbanded in 1998 when Henry Godwinn was forced to retire due to a serious neck injury (he famously broke his neck taking the LOD's Doomsday Device). Dennis Knight, alias Phineas Godwinn, went on to have some success as Mideon, a member of The Undertaker's demonic Ministry of Darkness (and then less success as Naked Mideon). But whatever happened to Henry? Did he really just quietly retire, something so many wrestlers claim to do but never really go through with it? Pretty much, until he strangely received a WWE tryout in September 2006. Why were WWE offering Godwinn, who had been inactive for eight years and never looked very good in the ring anyway, a chance to bag himself a WWE contract? It was strange, to say the least. Then the real reason emerged: Godwinn got the tryout based on the recommendation of his friend, Triple H. Well, make that tryouts - Godwinn actually received several tryouts before WWE officials and looked lousy each time (his September 5th dark match with Bull Buchanan was said to have been one of the worst ever). Miraculously, he was signed to a developmental deal and reformed The Godwinns with Ray Gordy (the future Jesse/Slam Master J). To be fair to The Game, his heart was in the right place. Godwinn's son had recently passed away, he needed a job and he missed wrestling, so he went to bat for him. He never made it to the main roster, however, and was released in May 2007.
