Former WWE Superstar Mideon (Dennis Knight) recently appeared on Road Dogg” Brian James’ podcast, “Oh You Didn’t Know” for an interview covering all things pro wrestling. Here are the highlights:
The story that inspired Vince McMahon to give him the ‘Naked Mideon’ streaker gimmick:
“Kurt [Angle] comes back and he’s talking and he goes in and takes a shower and he comes back out and he pulls his underwear off and I drop my towel and I go, ‘I am the naked man.’ Then [Blackjack] Lanza comes and goes, ‘Hey we need someone for a meet and greet,’ and I threw on my towel and walked out into the hallway and was like ‘Where is this meet and greet?’”
Not seeing the gimmick as a negative:
“It’s so funny, that’s all anybody ever talks about and they’re like, ‘Oh, that must’ve been terrible,’ I was like, this is ’98, ’99, I’m getting my head kicked in by Vader, and all these guys every single night. I got paid the exact same amount of money for like eight months to run to the ring in my fanny pack.”
