The ‘Black Wedding’ between Stephanie McMahon & The Undertaker remains an iconic moment from WWE history, but Dennis ‘Mideon’ Knight likely doesn’t remember much.
During the April 26, 1999 episode of RAW, The Undertaker attempted to marry McMahon, but his efforts to take over the WWF were thwarted by ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin.
Appearing on the “Oh, You Didn’t Know” podcast with “Road Dogg” Jesse James, Knight recalled being high on LSD at the time of the segment. He said,
“I’m Mideon at the time, and me and Brian [James] were traveling together. We had these Sweet Tarts that had LSD dropped on them. … Brian was so mad that he wasn’t working or something that he [started] taking them. And another one, and another one. I’m like, ‘Brian, stop.’ He goes, ‘If you want me to stop, you better take them then.’ I’m like, ‘F**k.’”
“Before [that], we [walked] through it, and it was just like, ‘Boom, then Stone Cold’s gonna hit the ring, we’re all gonna powder, he’s gonna hit [The Undertaker], boom — they’re gone.’ I’m like, ‘Okay, I can probably handle this. He then took three hits of the psychedelic drug, only for Austin to approach him about changing the plan just a few minutes later. Thankfully for Knight, it all worked out.
“I did the Stephanie McMahon marriage to Undertaker, head full of acid, and didn’t miss a beat. Nailed it, as far as I know. And the lights were so pretty.”
While The Undertaker would fail to marry Stephanie, he would form a ‘Corporate Ministry’ with Mr. McMahon after the Chairman was revealed to be the ‘Higher Power.’
