    Charles Wright is an amazing performer. To be able to be The Godfather, Kama, and Papa Shango, 3 completely different personas and do them all incredibly well, that’s awesome.

    • @JasonL77
      @JasonL77 Před 6 lety +3

      I'm a referee for some independents in Minnesota so if he were to be brought in, I would here about it. Hopefully, a promoter up here will bring him in, Even if I don't get booked on the same show, I'll probably go as a fan just so I can meat him.

    Papa Shango and the Undertaker would've made an incredible dark-themed tag team. The Papa Shango gimmick was great, I preferred it to the Godfather thing, and people don't give it the respect PS deserved, as a gimmick and as a worker.

    • @BewleyUK9
      @BewleyUK9 Před 6 lety +1

      I disagree actually I think the PS character gets a lot of respect but I think it's very specific to the era. Where as your Hogans, takers and Austins were timeless. PS still gets a lot of recognition for what it was.

      I think that would've been so sick if Papa Shango and Undertaker did form a tag team in the wwf. I would've used "Soul Takers" as their name since 1, PS/Godfather used that back in the day(Soul Taker) and 2, "Takers" aka UnderTAKER. Both really scared me as a kid and yes a fitting name for both. I guess the only way is to create Soul Takers on 2k19 haha.

    Crazy thing that fascinates me about the old days is how cool dudes can be across racial lines. When hear dudes like Bruiser Brody being best friends with Atlas, Dusty Rhodes and Freight Train Jones, Taker and godfather, just dudes going trough shit together.

      Most of those guys, unlike the Kliq, were legit tough guys behind the scenes. Even Taker was known to have some skills throwing hands back then and was of course very strong. Yeah, Kliq had the political muscle, but Bone Stree Krew had the stopping power.

    I love that the name comes from the hood name for dominoes. Rodney (aka Yokozuna) was raised in the Bay Area so I'm certain he hung out with brothas out there. What a cool ass crew. Hearing about how down Taker has always been makes me respect Mark Calaway 10x as much. Knowing Charles Wright is this laid back brotha that also loves the Raiders makes my respect for HIM go up 10x.

  • @JD-dt7py
    @JD-dt7py Před 5 lety +14

    As much of a “redneck biker” as Undertaker was perceived as, he was actually more street/thug than people would think. Played dominos, hanging with a huge mix of dudes, plus Henry Godwinn of The Godwinns (also in BSK) said Taker and Yokozuna would rap during car rides. Taker actually made a freestyle rap song about Godwinn called “Hillbilly Love.” It’s in a shoot interview with The Godwinns. If that’s not badass, I dunno what is.

      There's an onslaught of rumors going around that Taker is racist due to his political views. I can only hope he isn't. He seemed one of the few top wrestlers that wasn't a POS backstage.

      @manuginobilisbaldspot424 Před 2 lety +2

      @@SilverWolf442 As a Black man, I've had to come to grips with the reality that the majority of white people are Republican/conservative. That doesn't automatically make them racist. Taker had a whole ass crew with Samoans and Blacks (Savio Vega and Charles Wright) prominently in it. I judge people by their actions as much as certain words. Taker ain't no damn racist.

    I see Mark on this new wrestling Treasures show now and he is obviously the coolest guy ever. And he'll talk your ear off.
    I assume wrestling fans from years ago aren't used to hearing the Undertaker talk.
    But he'll talk your ear off. And he's the most respected wrestler of the last 30 years.
    Stone Cold would be a close second I think.

      He was definitley loyal to the "company", but that could also be looked at as a character asset. He's just a loyal guy. He would have probably been the same way with any organization, and we need more people who are loyal in this day and age. Some people see that as a character flaw, but some see it as an asset. It wasn't just the company he was loyal to. It was his friends and family too.
