The
Godfather reveals he and The Undertaker would get
women for his entrance from strip clubs -
February 1, 2022
(WrestlingNews.com)
“The
Godfather” Charles Wright was on this week’s
episode of “Insight with Chris Van Vliet”
to talk about the inception of The Godfather gimmick,
Right to Censor, his thoughts on the Hall of Fame,
and having women walk with him to the ring.
Godfather
said his wife came up with the Godfather gimmick:
“It
was not pitched to me. My wife came up with it,”
he laughed.
“It
wasn’t that I should be a pimp, but she said,
‘If you can make people see you for who you really
are. You’re not a voodoo man, you’re not
an Ultimate Fighter, you’re not a Nation member.
Just be who you are.'”
“I
didn’t want to be a pimp. I hated pimps, but
everything she asked me to do that I didn’t want
to do, it worked,” Godfather said.
“At
the time, I was in the Nation of Domination and they
were building The Rock. Me and D’Lo Brown are
just walking to the ring with The Rock, and when it
was time for Undertaker or Steve Austin to do the
finish, we were feeding into it. That’s all we
were doing. My contract was coming up, and I’ve
got to come up with something different. I’m
still under contract with WWE to this day. We grew
out my hair, built this character, it kind of just
took off.”
Godfather
said he hated the Right to Censor gimmick:
“I
hated it. As soon as they told me what I was doing,
that was why you would see me come and go all the
time,” he shared.
“I
always had the strip clubs here in Vegas, so I always
had means of making money. So when I was not having
fun and not making money, I would leave. I would go
to Vince and I would say, ‘Hey Vince, it’s
time for me to go.’ He would just laugh and say,
‘Okay, Charles. We’ll call you in a year
or so and see if you want to come back.’ That
is how it would go.”
On
if he thought The Godfather would be a Hall of Fame
character:
“It
depends how you look at it. Money wise, yes. Even
though it was a mid-card character, it was over like
a top character. It sold a lot of merchandise, still
sells merchandise, and when I go to these signings,
there are still people who want to see The Godfather,
which is so cool.”
On
when the girls first started appearing on TV:
“Vince
said to me, ‘Charles, do you think you could
go and get girls?’ I’m like, ‘Vince,
are you joking? Me and Taker are in the strip clubs
every night.’
“So
I go and grab The Undertaker, and we go to the strip
club, this is during the day, we grab 3 or 4 girls
and take them back to the WWF, they sign them, pay
them, we take them on TV and they (WWE) doesn’t
ask me anything, just tell me to do what you do,”
he said.
“I
swear I went from walking through an airport and maybe
some people noticed you, to the next day, people are
like, ‘Godfather, where are the ho’s?’
It got over the second it got on TV.”

News 'They
should move to any other night, get away from us' - Chris Jericho slams WWE with
a bold statement - 4th September 2020 
"They
lost! There's nothing wrong with conceiting defeat and moving to a different night."
Chris Jericho had a lot more to say. There
are rumors about WWE possibly moving NXT to a different night.
AEW
Dynamite and NXT have aired on different days for the past few weeks. As expected,
the results have been quite positive for both companies. Both shows have drawn
huge numbers without any competition, and there is also talk about NXT possibly
moving out from the Wednesday slot. Chris Jericho, who has always been on the
offensive when it comes to AEW's ratings victories over WWE, has sent another
bold message to the WWE.
During
a recent appearance on the Busted
Open radio show, the Demo God addressed the rumors of WWE contemplating a
change of day for NXT. Chris
Jericho said that he wasn't surprised that the WWE was planning on retreating
from the Wednesday Night Wars. The AEW Superstar sent a direct message to his
former employers that they should move to another night. Chris Jericho felt that
WWE had a great program, and their spiteful tactic of going up against AEW was
only hurting NXT's ratings. Chris
Jericho says WWE should just conceit defeat Chris
Jericho declared that AEW isn't going anywhere and that Dynamite would continue
to beat NXT. Jericho felt that WWE retreating is the right move from a business
standpoint. 'Le Champion' isn't bothered about NXT breaching the 800k or 900k
barriers as he and AEW are focussed on getting over the 1 million mark. He also
spoke about the importance of the 18-49 demographic. Chris
Jericho said that the WWE lost, and there is nothing wrong for them to conceit
defeat. The former AEW World Champion concluded by proclaiming that no one can
stop All Elite Wrestling. Here's
Chris Jericho's full statement on the rumors of WWE moving to another night and
the ongoing ratings war: "Once
again, it was never a war for me. This is a war that was thrust upon us by a company
that is very petty and very spiteful, and we know the reason why NXT was moved
to Wednesday nights. To mess with us. We get it. We pay attention to what we are
doing. We don't care what they're doing, and we have no interest in it. If you
watch us, you get the ratings, where we beat them week after week. We beat them
in the demos where people think it's jokes. The only thing that matters is the
TV networks and advertisers that listed the 18-49 demo. Look it up. We win every
week. They should retreat. They should move to any other night. Get away from
us! You guys got a great program, and it's good; why would you want to sacrifice
your own ratings just to be spiteful and petty to go head to head with AEW? We're
not going anywhere and put on anything you want - we'll continue to beat you.
It is a retreat, but it's also the right move from a business standpoint. Get
your head out of your rear end and just worry about your product the same way
we worry about ours. If they move to Tuesday, smart move. That way, you guys can
get your 850 thousand, 900 thousand. Whatever! Get 10 million viewers. Congratulations!
Let us do our thing, and we'll get over a million. I think it's a smart move business-wise
on theirs. They lost! There's nothing wrong with conceiting defeat, moving to
a different night, and worrying about your show and not worrying about going head
to head with AEW because you can't stop us." H/t WrestlingInc While
Chris Jericho is just doing his job of putting over AEW, many fans would argue
that both shows airing on different nights would be the right decision as they
can watch both shows. The ratings and viewership figures from the past few weeks
have proven that putting out shows on separate days could be ideal for moving
forward. Also,
don't forget to check out the latest interview from Sportskeeda in which our very
own Gary Cassidy caught up with Chris Jericho. The legendary star discussed a
plethora of topics, including the possibility of Brock Lesnar coming to AEW, the
origins of his nickname, Jon Moxley, Orange Cassidy, and much more. *click
