Henry O. Godwinn Biography

Henry O. Godwinn is one of the most popular and richest Wrestler who was born on March 16, 1964 in United States.

Canterbury trained under George South and The Italian Stallion before debuting in 1989 under the ring name “Mean” Mark Canterbury. He quickly formed a tag team with Dennis Knight wrestling under the name Tex Slazenger.

In October 1992, the duo began wrestling for World Championship Wrestling, with Canterbury adopting the ring name “Shanghai Pierce”. Dusty Rhodes suggested that Canterbury wear a mask because Canterbury’s good looks could make him too likable for the heel tag team. 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.

Mark Canterbury (born March 16, 1964) is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation in the mid to late 1990s under the ring name Henry O. Godwinn.

In 1996, Canterbury was reunited with Knight, who had been renamed Phineas I. Godwinn. The duo were portrayed as being cousins (later brothers) and were collectively known as “The Godwinns”. The two were faces and were managed by Hillbilly Jim. They began to feud with the Body Donnas with Phineas having a crush on Sunny and signed her as their manager. They would beat the Body Donnas for the WWF Tag Team Championships. Eventually Sunny turned on them costing them their titles. The Godwinns feuded with the now heel Smoking Gunns, in losing efforts. 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. They eventually dropped the titles to LOD in a match on WWF Monday Night Raw that had LOD’s career on the line. Soon after that match they attacked and fired Cletus.

Later that year, the Godwinns dropped their pig farmer gimmicks, now going by their real names and wearing sharp suits under the name “Southern Justice”, the bodyguards of Tennessee Lee. Six months later, Canterbury herniated his C7 vertebra and pinched a spinal nerve, necessitating spinal fusion surgery. This came as a result of him returning to the ring too early after his neck injury. He eventually left the WWF and retired, due to the neck injury suffered in 1997.

In mid-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. Canterbury was originally a heel, and assisted the Million Dollar Corporation on several occasions. When the leader of the Corporation, Ted DiBiase, was asked on an episode of WWF Action Zone whether or not Canterbury was a member of the Corporation, DiBiase insulted Canterbury. This inspired Canterbury to turn face by “slopping” DiBiase, and led to a brief feud between Canterbury and Corporation member Sycho Sid.

In 1998, Canterbury entered the Brawl for All, a shoot-fighting tournament held by the WWF. He lost in the first round to Bradshaw.
