How did the WWF's roster prepare for fights? Intense, MMA-style training? Some heavy bag and sparring work with a seasoned boxing coach? Endless cardio so they they wouldn't blow up after slinging a few punches or being socked in the ribs? If you were The Godfather, it was none of the above.

Big Charles Wright smoked weed out back of the arena with his on screen ladies.

Before fighting former UFC hard nut Dan Severn, Godfather literally toked on a spliff outside and then pulled on his gloves. He had no fear, and admitted on the documentary that he believed he was a stick on to win the whole thing. Godfather does think he took Bart Gunn too lightly though.

His wife was also very unhappy about 'Brawl For All', but not because she was concerned for her husband. No, Mrs. Godfather (which is definitely her name) "was counting on that money" from each win, and blamed his loss to Bart on the fact that hubby liked a bit of the 'Mary Jane'.
