Enjoy our brand new series with the legendary Godfather (aka Papa Shango, Kama Mustafa, Soultaker), exclusively on Title Match Network. Produced live in Las Vegas, April 2022.
Find out why Vince McMahon was forced to end the Godfather character, after it became widely successful in the WWF Attitude Era. In a move that many fans despised, Charles Wright became known as the "Goodfather", a man who renounced his former pimp ways in favor of an ultra-conservative group like RTC.
Goodfather often tagged with Bull Buchanan, even winning the WWF Tag Team Championships.
The RTC (Right to Censor) was created to parody the real life group PTC (Parents Television Council). The PTC was aggressively trying to censor WWF programming in the late 1990s by targeting their sponsors to pull out and creating anti-World Wrestling Federation rhetoric in the mainstream media.
The Godfather did return to WWE programming in the 2002 Royal Rumble but the return was short lived.

“Vince you’re the biggest pimp I know.” Oof how right he was 😂
I was scrolling to find someone who said this 💀
Dude has a positive vibe and a lot of charisma. That’s the way to be
"I always tell Vince, you're the biggest pimp I know..."
Well that's certainly something now
That’s awesome that he’s still on a legends contract.
The happiest retired Pro Wrestler of all time and one of the most humble guy. Never had anything bad to say about the business nor against the ppl whom he work for. It's pretty sure Vince loves him and Godfather respeçts that.
Godfather is one of the most successful wrestlers ever. To be that humble , genuinely happy AND content ,in retirement is worth more than any amount of money
Charles Wright seems like a real humble dude who you can sit down with and have a whole lot to talk about. Always will know him as Papa Shango, Kama Mustafa and the Godfather and definitely not as the good father. Glad he is doing alright right these days and is okay with his life the way it is now. Some people go through a relapse not being able to perform again.
Yes, and I observe how PAPA SHANGO was underpaid and modified in VINCE MCMAHONS, CONDESCENDING WAYS AND IDEAS!
WWF SUPERSTARS at that FALLING ARCH our the best, and are not going anywhere!
@@Jay-lh2nt Absolutely my friend!
I have & yes he is just as cool as advertised.
I'm originally from Memphis and was introduced to him as "The Soultaker" so I always think of him as that way, well and Papa Shango.
This guy is a good. Dude. I could listen to him talk. All day
Vince must really like Charles Wright since he seems very likeable towards everyone in the WWF or WWE.
But yeah, I heard from past shoot interviews, that Charles HATED The Goodfather character and he hated Steven Richards to the point that he tried to humilated him every night.
@KenTerminatesDQ , I think Vince liked and "fought for" Charles Wright because of how he made his characters get over. First , was Papa Shango , a strange character at first , but as was said in the video , created an iconic moment with the Ultimate Warrior to make him memorable. Next was Kama , who was done to cash in on the early UFC craze , and then melting the Undertaker's urn into a piece of bling made a memorable feud. Finally , the Godfather , which probably like DX , Vince was reluctant to do at first ; but he knew he had to keep WWE winning the ratings wars so told Charles let loose ; and it worked with the crowds everywhere popping when is music hit and doing his catchphrases with him. With regards to Steven Richards , I think Charles Wright's issue was that he saw Richards who was usually a sidekick being pushed as a top heel and Charles was likely upset that he had to constantly act like Richards was his boss.
I was a volunteer for a horror movie convention in Cincinnati and I got finished with my shift. Charles was there, I went looking for him, he was doing a photo op. I totally missed him. 😔
Awe
I wasn't a pimp anymore, I had an escort service lmaoooo
He is on B-Real's podcast, the Dr. Greenthumb show. He is a great contributor to the show.
Papa shungo was his best character in wwe.
One of my favorite WWE Entertainers
It all started with the SOUL TAKER.
Man, a quarterly legends check sounds amazing. I only get quarterly checks if my stocks return decent dividends. Lol
Not to mention Kama was memorable as well
It's hard to imagine him having any enemies. What a cool dude.
Glad that Godfather had the success that he did. I wasn't the biggest Godfather fan, I've always been a bit conservative. I was 11 when I first saw him as Papa Shango. Awesome character, one of my favorite gimmicks. I still have his first action figure. I even liked the Kama character. I was a big fan of Street Fighter 2 and he reminded me of Street Fighter, thought he was a good character, also.
In the video game I loved playing the god father
Love hearing from him.
I wanna see The Godfather Vs Papa Shango - OR - The Godfather tagging with Papa Shango
Glad he was taken care of
0:55 Saturday morning wrestling 😂 but it helps to know all the censorship. But it predicted a ton for modern wrestling and culture (for better or worse) and Wright did a great performance converting to goodfather despite hating it.
1:55 team godfather and cool wife.
When I was a young kid, I found The Godfather GOLD!
Papa Shango
Genius name change, add an o
Godfather ✌🙏
Legend wish he could’ve got to do the godfather like he wanted too after 2003
He's right I remember all of his characters
"Grab yo B****es" , Maing. 😊😊😊😊😊
Love that dude. #🎉
God Father is awesome ❤
I srill think he should hsve gad a stint as a member of the ministry of darkness due to his close friendship and trust from the undertaker.
