After suffering a severe shoulder injury, Knight left Salem College and returned to Florida, where he worked as a bouncer.
[2] In 1992, Knight was hired by World Championship Wrestling, where he was renamed "Tex Slazenger" and given the character of an "ornery Texas outlaw".
[2] When both men left WCW, Canterbury signed with the World Wrestling Federation under the ring name "Henry Godwinn" while Slazenger returned to the USWA.
They soon entered a tournament for the vacant Tag Team Championship and defeated The New Rockers and Owen Hart and British Bulldog to qualify for the finals on the March 31 episode of Free for All, where they lost to Bodydonnas.
On May 19, Godwinns defeated Bodydonnas to win the Tag Team Championship at a live event in Madison Square Garden.
As a result, they gained Bodydonnas' valet Sunny as their manager on the May 26 episode of Free for All, where they lost their newly won titles to The Smoking Gunns.
[7] In early 1998, the Godwinns dropped their pig farmer gimmicks and became "Southern Justice", the bodyguards of Tennessee Lee, using their real names.
[7] In late 1998, Knight returned to the WWF after a brief hiatus, and in a short time, was kidnapped by the Acolytes and brainwashed into joining the Ministry of Darkness, a heel Satanic-themed stable led by The Undertaker, who rechristened him as the deranged soothsayer "Midian" (spelling later changed to "Mideon").
Knight returned in a limited capacity in mid-2000 as "Naked Mideon", a persona who ran around arenas wearing only a fanny pack, a pair of boots and a thong.
Following his run with the WWF, Knight returned to his home in Tampa, Florida and spent time training students at Steve Keirn's Pro Wrestling school.
Knight appeared at the NWA Total Nonstop Action event TNA Destination X 2005 on March 13, 2005 during the scheduled match between Monty Brown and Trytan.
