WWE Hall of Famer The Godfather was recently the guest on The Wrestling Inc Daily podcast. Here are some highlights….

On the Papa Shango character almost making a comeback:

“Papa Shango was supposed to come back one night. The night that I joined the Nation, me and Ron Simmons beat The Undertaker in a handicap match. That night I was supposed to be Papa Shango but when I get there, Vince goes, ‘Change of plans. We’re gonna put you in The Nation and we’ve got you an outfit. We’re gonna call you Kama Mustafa and you and Ron Simmons are gonna go over on The Undertaker.'”

“So, that’s what happened with Papa Shango. That’s the same night they brought Kane out and they didn’t want two mysterious characters. Back then they didn’t turn the lights out for nobody as I was the first person they did that for. Well, they didn’t want two characters like that so they went with Kane and threw my ass to The Nation.”

On the Papa Shango character being ahead of its time:

“Believe me, a lot of the old-time wrestlers hated on that too. That was just too much of a gimmick for them.”

“Here’s my reaction – people and times change. Nothing stays the same. If you’re gonna live life that way, you’re never gonna make it because people change. The business is gonna change and is always gonna be moving ahead forward, but it’s always gonna change. So, you go with it man. The old days are over and my days are over.”

“You might see the Attitude Era come back [laughs]. Do you think you’ll ever see a Godfather in my form ever again? Rolling fatties. Pimping hoes nationwide; I don’t know if you’ll ever see that. I was actually selling p***y on TV. I don’t know if you’ll ever see that again.”

On a possible return to wrestling:

“I don’t even want to do that anymore; my life has completely changed. I’ve got 1 or 2 years before I completely retire. I’m just enjoying life. I love and respect the business but I don’t really follow it right now. But God bless them, I’m glad they’re doing things.”
