So, I just watched the first couple matches of one of my favorite PPVs of all time; Survivor Series 1993. And I've always wondered....
Who was The Black Knight? I know the others were Barry Horowitz and Greg Valentine...but who play the Black Knight?
And, why did they do that whole thing with the knights? Like, was it just a one night appearance...or did they use them before SS93, or even after?

That's actually a favorite of mine, as well, although I haven't seen it in a long time.
As for why the Knights were used? Well, they were associated with Jerry Lawler as he was originally supposed to be in the match. However, Lawler had to be replaced because he was tied up in a rape case pitted against him by a teenage girl. I'm pretty sure the charges were dropped and nothing more was said of it, so that's why Michaels was thrown into the match at the last minute.
Now, I'm not sure why they weren't used anymore after that event, maybe because they needed talent to round out one half of a SVS tag match and didn't need them after that? I don't know for sure.

Yeah, it was a decent event. As for the Black Knight, as stated above, he was played by Jeff Gaylord of Smoky Mountain Wrestling fame I believe.
*Edit*
Although some sites actually say Glen Jacobs a.k.a. Dr. Isaac Yankem D.D.S./Unibomb/Kane/Fake Diesel/Doomsday/Christmas Creature, played The Black Knight, I believe that to be totally false. It was Jeff Gaylord and I believe that was his only appearance in the W.W.F.
