5 WWE Hall of Fame Inductees that didn't add up 

#5 The Godfather (2016)

The Godfather: Shock inductee in 2016

The Godfather is one of those wrestlers who was a longtime loyal member of the roster, having debuted for the company way back in 1991 as Voodoo Priest, Papa Shango. The Shango character was inspired by the villains from 1973 James Bond flick, Live and Let Die and was literally two decades behind the times.

Shango disappeared from screens in 1993 and Charles Wright, the man who portrayed him was repackaged as Kama, an MMA-type character, inspired by UFC fighter, Kimo.

Again, this persona was a failure and Wright, who joined the Nation of Domination in 1997, gradually transitioned into the Godfather; a Pimp who offered out his ladies for free to other wrestlers and referees.

Finally, this character was a success and Godfather gained traction with the fan-base and was of the most memorable mid-card acts of the Attitude Era. This took him to the Intercontinental Title for a short run in spring 1999.

However, the Godfather was relatively short lived as an act as he became the Goodfather in late 2000 as he renounced his pimping days and joined Right to Censor.

He achieved little in this role and was phased out as a character in 2001 and only made sporadic, nostalgia appearances in the years since. With only two moderately successful years in WWE in the full decade he was employed as a full time performer, Godfather did not possess a Hall of Fame level CV.

However, loyalty counts for much in McMahon land and this was the principle reason why he received an undeserved Hall of Fame nod in 2016.
