WWE Hall of Famer The Godfather appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he talked about a number of topics including former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon pitching the Papa Shango character to him.
Godfather said, “Vince hires me and says, ‘You got the body of a monster but you got a baby face.’ He called me one day and said, ‘Charles, I want you to go rent the movie Live and Let Die.”
On the character’s end coming as a result of his divorce causing personal chaos:
“I was getting into a lot of fights — real fights — and ‘Taker was pulling me off of people, and it was getting ugly. I went in there with Vince and Mark and we decided it would be best if I went home and got my mind right before somebody got hurt. I know that’s wild, but I was a different person back then.”
