10 WWE Superstars You Totally Forgot Were Heel

10. The Godfather

Starting off the list is a WWE Attitude Era favourite who had already tried out several gimmicks before finding the one that stuck and got over in the late 1990s.

The real-life Charles Wright debuted back in 1992 as the voodoo master Papa Shango, even getting a WrestleMania headlining run-in (although he missed his time cue) during the Hulk Hogan vs. Sid Justice main event from WrestleMania VIII.

After the Shango gimmick was scrapped, Wright would adopt several gimmicks, including an MMA fighter hailed as the "Supreme Fighting Machine", Kama, followed by being called Kama Mustafa, a member of the New Nation Of Domination.

Finally after the New Nation split in late 1998, Kama Mustafa slowly morphed into a colorful, flashy, cigar-smokin', womanizing pimp and, in 1999, that made him a babyface.

What many fans often forget though is that The Godfather, as popular as he was during the Attitude Era, actually began as a bad guy. His heel work as part of the New Nation is what precipitated his babyface run as The Godfather (and later as part of the Right To Censor).

Even ignoring Wright's work as Papa Shango, Kama, and The Goodfather, The Godfather's roots were always as a heel.
