The Godfather HATED Playing The Goodfather In WWE

[@GaretheDen]

I read that title as ‘Godfather’ at first…I missed the second ‘o’. I was about to say, he IS The Godfather.

[@milk_bath]

That’s the point. It is clickbait.

[@stephenconnolly5904]

​@milk_bath no it's not. The title is exactly what the story is about

Damn it, that's a good tag team name for them.

[@JerseyJeff84]

She really didn't look like she aged much. When the theme music hit with the alarm blare, I admit I kind of popped a little.

[@civenful]

no it wasn't

[@jonathanturbide2232]

I was a huge Godfather fan, but the gimmick was getting stale AF at the time and in my opinion him becoming the Goodfather was a great heel turn. They even put the tag titles on him and Bull, so overall it was a pretty good run for him, too bad he didn't like it.

[@Podcastforthewin]

I was thinking the same thing. It got to the point where it was running its course. I liked the heel turn as well

[@ponokanaka]

I liked the change but wanted him to go back to Godfather eventually

[@Romchikthelemon]

Seems like he is not smart though he doesn't need it.

[@BishopWalters12]

True, The Godfather and Val Venus were both great but you can only do so much with those gimmicks.

[@rockfresh1993]

Do u like people to tell you what to do even though you want to do something different???

[@J.White86]

Supply and Demand should've been the Tag Champs. Godfather and Val Venis were great memories

[@earth2wrestling166]

I’d love to see Godfather return as a manager!! I kno MVP is been gold for Lashley but if they ever do have a split it’d be fuckin insane if Lashley does a reveal that he’s got Godfather backin him now n Godfather and MVP have brawl in suits with their canes!!

[@andresgarcia-jc4mf]

Dude are like 10, that wouldn't make sense, to have a pretend pimp to manage lashly

[@jamesmiller5331]

He would not have fun in the company that exist today.

[@bearking77]

Perfect time to post this after seeing Ivory at the Rumble

[@pauld5185]

I loved RTC .Sure it’s probably not as fun for The Godfather but it truly was art imitating life.

[@sleepinggorilla]

I thought it was a clever idea and the best work from everyone involved. It was hilarious when Charles would beat his programming and revert back to being the Godfather. They could do some entertaining things using cancel culture. Have a job squad come out when something offensive is said and announce they are going to unfollow them, then get destroyed. The only thing dangerous about them is numbers. I thought that’s what retribution was going to be.

[@kevin084life]

Now we have people in society trying to cancel and censor everything. Comedians can't even make jokes anymore without groups getting offended and trying to take them down.

[@BishopWalters12]

Val, Godfather, Golddust and DX were all so great but they really got watered down.

[@manlykscorpa]

So in a nutshell going public and being on a network killed the business

[@darthbigred22]

Kinda it was getting all sorts of heat back then from all sides. AOL Time Warner had the money to outbid TNN (Spike) if they had wanted to keep wrestling on TNT. In other words the real reason WCW died, isn't because of their ratings, or because WCW ever got as edgy as WWF, because they hadn't. Wrestling had gotten this stigma as "low class" entertainment for decades already. By the late 90s/early 00s it was "low class" and irredeemably violent, sexual, profane, and mocked the religious. So while say Comedy Central stood by South Park, MTV defended jackass, Jerry Springer was syndicated, wrestling was down to USA, UPN and TNT and TBS. Ted Turner was out so defending his own love of wrestling was gone and VKM was back to being at the mercy of two channels who took a lot of flak for keeping WWF.

[@kauzpayne2]

what killed it was wwe going in the stock market and people getting offend easily now. this is also what killed what they did in the 90's.

[@wesmyone9562]

That sums it up right👍🏿

[@lostsoulband1]

Killed the business? What's it worth now?

[@dnn86]

Hard to believe this dude was Papa Shango

I just heard a big "OOOHHH!!" by Paulie after reading that

[@deotic]

We're about to witness their loss with Papa H's rise

[@TheBillliantOne]

I loved RTC, but thinking back, IDK if Godfather was really a fitting choice for the faction, as hilarious as the name change was. I admit, I first knew him as the Goodfather, so I thought that was his ring name throughout his career.

[@XxShadowGTxX]

"What were we calling the Ho's later on?" The Bella Twins, Chris. They were then called the Bella Twins 😂

[@ChillPill365]

"Supply and Demand" LMAO

[@ganglabesh]

he was a PAPA AND A FATHER lol

"when things were shifting where they were" Translation: the world became an oversensitive bunch of crybabies

[@MarcDowney]

My buddies and I use to go see WWE anytime they where in MA, CT and RI back from like 1997 to like 2000. We would also go to any WCW Event that was near New England. From going to all those shows over a like 4yr period, the only thing that I still have from those days is my Godfather Ho Train shirt. The shirt is like at least 25 yrs old but its in great condition. My wife wears it to bed cause the shirt is like a 2XL and she's like 5 ft tall.

[@jays447]

To be fair, his 'Godfather' character was getting a bit stale before he joined the RTC. I thought Charles did a great job as the 'Goodfather.'

[@sjdhgydhfyrn1023]

Refreshing that Godfather isn't a mark who takes wrestling too seriously, like some, *cough* Bret Hart. He understands the point of the wrestling business is fun + money. No reason at all to constantly be on the road and destroy your body, if you are not enjoying performing.

[@DonCHFC1875]

That's the way bret was brought up, wrestling was serious to him since his first step. Godfather wished he had the career bret had. He wasn't even over it was the hoes 😅

[@Provos7777]

I’m sure if Godfather grew up in the Hart Family he would have an entirely different perspective. Bret was fed, clothed , & housed from wrestling his entire life, it’s his family’s identity. Obviously he’s going to take it far more serious than most. A fan calling someone a mark is literally the most “ mark “ thing someone could say. All fans are marks

[@billyblanx1434]

Whats with all this wild Bret slander I been seeing the past year or two...dude is literally a face of the classic WWF and a well respected vet.

3:11 “being yourself, not a character” So you were a legit pimp after you decided to retire from voodoo?

[@markl5998]

Well he manages a strip club in Vegas and smokes hella weed in real life. Not exactly pimping but he's living his gimmick to an extent, you hater

[@MatrixUnlockedPlus]

He was clearly referring to the Godfather gimmick well after Papa Shango. Clearly. Geez, trollin' ain't easy.

[@MatrixUnlockedPlus]

It's time, once again, for everybody to hop aboard the Trolllllll Train!!!!!

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

No, but he did parlay the gimmick in to a couple of strip clubs in Vegas that get him paid.

[@terryindachat7296]

Him and his wife owns a strip club in Vegas that his wife ran while he was on the road.. Later they ended buying 2 more. Godfather making money money yeah yeah

[@redleopard777]

What would have been cool is if they had him arrested for pimping in the storyline and write him off for a while and have him come back as a new character, still the same person but that he had changed his lifestyle from being in prison.

[@DisturbedAidan2]

lol I was confused for a long time whether he was the Godfather or Goodfather. Didn't realise it was part of the censorship angle to rename him Goodfather.
