In this episode of 'The Wrestling Historian', DJ Special K explores the legendary career of Charles Wright, also known as The Godfather. Charles Wright's wrestling career began in the early '90s where he was initially recognized for his size as a bartender. Wright debuted as Papa Shango, a voodoo practitioner, experienced a phase as Kama tapping into the mixed martial arts popularity, then became the Godfather, where he hit his stride with a fun-loving, flamboyant persona that resonated with fans. Later, Wright transformed into The Goodfather, a character diametrically opposite to The Godfather. Despite a full-time departure from WWE in 2002, Wright made occasional returns, reverting back to the well-loved Godfather persona. The episode outlines Wright's journey of constant reinvention and flexibility in embracing new characters, highlighted by his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016.
