Former WWE Superstar Dennis Knight has revealed that he recently lost half of his foot which forced him to put his current career as a chef on hold.
During a recent edition of “AdFreeShows,” Knight, who wrestled for years as Mideon, shared details of his injury and the long-term effects it has had on his life. He said,
“I had to take a break (from being a chef.) I got half my foot cut off about six months ago. There are these things called speed racks. They’re like big squares and they have shelves and you wheel the food around. There could be hundreds and hundreds of pounds when they’re fully loaded. One of them fell off of a broken back deck and landed on my foot and because of the fractures in my spine, I can’t, and this is crazy, I can’t feel from my knees down.
“This thing fell on my foot and it was like, oh, it just felt kind of like a little swollen, but that was it, but I really couldn’t feel anything. So then I go home and I take my shoe off and I put my sock off and two of my toes are just hanging off there and one of them was in the sock and I didn’t know. This was like an hour later. So I went right to the hospital. I was there for like five days getting antibiotics and then they took off, yeah, I have no toes on my right foot. I have a size 15 foot, but my right foot is like an 11 now.”
In addition to his role as Mideon, Knight also worked as Phineas I. Godwinn in the World Wrestling Federation and as Tex Slazenger in WCW.
