10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (April 22)
8. The Godfather Forgot To Mention His Wife During WWE Hall Of Fame Speech
Those entering the WWE Hall Of Fame must experience an incredible amount of nerves before taking to the stage. The ceremony is governed by strict time limitations, meaning performers often have to sum up their entire careers succinctly.
For one of this year's entrants, that caused him to forget one very key person.
Charles Wright is best known for playing the role of The Godfather during the 'Attitude Era', but he also used the Papa Shango and Kama Mustafa gimmicks earlier in his career. The pimp character was his most famous, meaning that was the one he was inducted under the night before WrestleMania 32.
Laughing about the experience, Wright told Bill Apter for WrestleZone TV that he had forgotten to thank his wife during his speech. That's a pretty notable slip, but at least he and his spouse were able to see the funny side.
It seems dancing with all those 'hos' on stage left him caught up in the moment, temporarily forgetting that he was married!
