The Godwins

Just what are the Godwins's redneck credentials? Just look at those tattoos! If someone has the state of Texas with the words RED NECK emblazoned on their skin, you know they're the real deal.

Phinneas I. Godwin and Horace O. Godwin--P.I.G. and H.O.G., do you get it?--first started as Hillbilly Jim's kayfabe cousins, then moved to more 'evil' personas when they were managed by TL Hopper, who became their 'uncle.'

The Godwins were early opponents of one Hunter Hearst Helmsley, whose refined blueblood character was horrifically offended by the coarse mannerisms of these country folk. It led to the first, and thankfully only, Hog Slop match in wrestling history.

We salute the Godwins and their redneck ways! Long live Pig and Hog!
