    • Wrestling

This week we had the pleasure of interviewing Charles Wright, the man behind two of the most iconic Gimmicks ever seen in WWE - The Godfather and Papa Shango. He is one of the most genuine guys in professional wrestling and never took the business too seriously. All the ingredients for great honest conversation!

We cover his entire WWE career including:

1). His botched run in during the main event of Wrestlemania 8 and whose fault it was.

2). Why Pat Patterson thought Papa Shango would kill the business.

3). The story behind Kama Mustafa

4). WCW making attempts to sign him and join the NWO

5). Racism in WCW and whether the Nation of Domination could work in the current political climate.

6). The Rock

7).  Ron Simmons and shooting on Ahmed Johnson

8). The forming of the Godfather character

9). Where did all the 'hoes' come from?

10).  Being the guy scheduled to take on Owen Hart the night he died.

11).  Why he absolutely hated the Right to Censor

12). How we found out he was going into the Hall of Fame.


Thank you Charles!
