10 Questionable names that are in the WWE Hall of Fame

Not every inductee should be in the Hall of Fame.

#4 The Godfather

The controversial Attitude Era character joined the HOF in 2016.

In my opinion, if the man, Charles Wright was inducted, and not the Godfather, it would have been a little more understandable.

During his tenure in the WWF/WWE, he was Papa Shango, Kama Mustafa, a member of the Nation of Domination as Kama, the Godfather and a member of Right to Censor.

Although his greatest impact of a character was as the Godfather, it was a gimmick that essentially made him out as a pimp.

Even during the Attitude Era that had Val Venis as a pornstar, a person portraying a pimp complete with women referred to as 'Hos' is wrong in any era of WWE.

Wright did win a tag team championship as a member of Right to Censor and an Intercontinental Championship.

But since the character was inducted as the Godfather, it doesn't seem right to have a pimp character in a what's supposed to be a prestigious Hall of Fame.
