He is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in the mid to late 1990s under the ring name Henry O.

They remained with the promotion until 1994, with Pierce forced to unmask on the January 29 edition of WCW Saturday Night after losing to Johnny B. Badd.

In November 1994, Canterbury joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), where he was renamed "Henry Orpheus Godwinn" (the initials spelling "H.O.G.

"; his middle name "Orpheus" was never said on television) and given the gimmick of an Arkansan pig farmer who carried a bucket of "slop" to the ring, which he would throw upon his opponents.

In 1997, the Godwinns began a heel turn dropping Hillbilly Jim as a manager and picking up Uncle Cletus.

The Godwinns quickly won the tag titles a second time from The Headbangers and began a heated feud with the Legion of Doom, which saw the team attempt to break Road Warrior Hawk's neck.

In 1997, in a rematch between The Godwinns and the Legion of Doom, Canterbury cracked his C7 vertebra when he fell on his head after taking the Doomsday Device.

On July 25, 2010, he teamed with Frank Parker as they lost to Reid Flair and Ricky Morton for SSW WrestleFest 2010 in Kingsport, Tennessee.

He wrestled on September 5, 2021, against Chase Gold and Ella Shae with a random tag team partner in Elizabeth, PA at their Unbreakable event.

Canterbury lives in Monroe County, West Virginia, and has two sons, named Shane and Jordan.

Jordan, at the age of 14, was accidentally shot and killed by a friend on October 31, 2003, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
