Well, here we go again with yet another inductee that was obviously selected due to the popularity of the gimmick.
The Godfather was definitely an entertaining persona as he would strut to the ring, flanked by his “hoes,” which were typically dancers recruited from local strip clubs. As far as his in-ring ability, The Godfather is a highly experienced wrestler, with plenty of experience under a plethora of gimmicks. But there was not much to write home about as far as his career as a whole. Sure, he was fun to watch as he made his entrance. But beyond that, there was nothing more to it.
Sure, Charles Wright himself has been the man behind multiple gimmicks, and he’s worked several gimmicks. But, we are talking about the Godfather specifically, and when you consider that character alone, is he truly Hall of Fame material?

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
