Charles Wright is staying at a hotel in New Orleans according to reports, leading to some speculation he will appear in character as Papa Shango at WrestleMania 30. Wright himself commented that he will be at WrestleMania 30, according to this tweet from some fans he posed for a photograph with. The return of Papa Shango would make sense given New Orleans cultural history of 'Louisiana Voodoo', the spiritual folklore which is still a major tourist attraction in the region. Fans may fondly remember Shango from the cartoon era, he would cast spells (the WWF dimmed the lights and used smoke machines) to create a supernatural aura around his character. Despite wrestling Bret Hart for the WWF Title, Shango was considered a dismal failure, the gimmick was considered silly and up against the emerging new WWF standard it died a death. Wright was re-packaged as Kama Mustafa and then later The Godfather in the attitude era. Still, Shango is mostly looked back on with nostalgic feeling. An appearance at WrestleMania 30 will be well received. Wright is one of those rare talents who seems to be on a permanent good terms with WWE, and has returned several times in the past for cameos as The Godfather. There's a chance he could even do some sort of angle with The Ultimate Warrior at the big New Orleans event, the pair infamously feuded in 1992, with Shango making the Warrior vomit over himself. With Warrior being a big part of Mania weekend this year, perhaps Shango will represent the foil he needs for a memorable moment on the big night.
