Former Star Dennis Knight Reveals He Nearly Died After A Recent Medical Emergency, Leading To An Eight-Day Hospitalization

ormer WWE Superstar Dennis Knight, known for his roles as Phineas I. Godwinn (PIG) and Mideon, shared a concerning health update on Instagram. Knight revealed he nearly died after a recent medical emergency that led to an eight-day hospitalization, including two days in the ICU.

Knight's ordeal began with stomach pain, initially thought to be a bowel obstruction. However, surgery revealed a more serious situation: a ruptured appendix, a hernia, and a large gallstone that tore his stomach lining. This was particularly surprising as Knight had his gallbladder removed years ago.



Knight's blood sugar levels were also alarmingly high, exceeding 700 (normal range is 90-120).

Sharing his story, Knight emphasized the importance of cherishing loved ones. "The reason for this is to tell your family and God you love them because It might be the last!" he wrote.

Despite the ordeal, Knight expressed gratitude for his recovery and the support of his family. "After the worst week of my life I am great full [sic] to still be here and I love you all..thank you for your time ," he concluded.



Dennis Knight's career spanned multiple promotions. He found success in the WWF (now WWE) from 1996 to 2001, first as PIG alongside Henry O. Godwinn (HOG) as The Godwinns, a popular tag team.

In a memorable storyline, Knight's character was kidnapped by The Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness and brainwashed, leading to his transformation into Mideon. As Mideon, he even won the European Championship in an unusual twist.

Prior to his WWF run, Knight wrestled for WCW (1992-1994) as Tex Slazenger, achieving success in the USWA (United States Wrestling Association) as a two-time USWA Southern Champion under the same name.
