gold star for USAHOF

The Godfather

The Godfather

We actually liked Papa Shango when he debuted and as corny as the gimmick was, we know we are not the only ones who had a soft spot for the voodoo man.  Charles Wright would later be repackaged multiple times before he struck gold as the “Godfather”, a lovable pimp.  This character allowed Wright to use charisma that was muted in other personas and was a great fit for the attitude era.  If only he was given a chance to be more of himself earlier his career.
