8 WWE Superstars Whose Careers Ended The Worst Way Possible

5. The Godfather

Papa Shango, Kama, The Goodfather...was Charles Wright just the dumpster for all of WWE Creative's worst character ideas?

Luckily, Wright managed to capture lightning in a bottle during the apex of the Attitude Era as the ho-loving, gold chain-wearing, lovable pimp known as The Godfather. (The 90s sure were a beautifully strange time.)

Unfortunately, The Godfather gimmick was relatively short-lived, as the Parents Television Council started breathing down the company's neck for its outrageous, sexually explicit content. Rather than fight fire with fire, Vince decided to circumvent the controversy, forming the stable Right To Censor, which was modeled after the strict, conservative morals of the PTC.

The group brought in reformed deviants like Val Venis and Stevie Richards to kayfabe "sanitize" the company, enforcing their uptight views through whatever means necessary.

Once the angle ran its course, it was back to the Godfather's old habits. Only, this time they made the slight adjustment of having the pimp go legit, replacing the old Ho Train with a legal escort agency.

The Godfather failed to recapture the hearts of wrestling fans who'd grown weary of his schtick. It was a short time later that he'd be on his way out of the company, but not before aiding and abetting one of the most offensive segments in WWE history.

One of his final appearances on WWE television involved The Godfather interrupting the gay marriage of Chuck and Billy to try to lure the boys back to heterosexuality. If that doesn't sound terrible, you should probably be reminded that this tactic of conversion therapy is one commonly used by religious nuts who think homosexuality is a mental disorder.

And that's how Charles Wright got to end his career.
