Charles Wright (a.k.a. The Godfather) has made it clear that he did not enjoy working with Hulk Hogan during their WWE days.

Wright’s Papa Shango character was briefly involved in a WWE storyline with Hogan at WrestleMania VIII in 1992. The event ended with Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior standing tall after Papa Shango and Sid Justice tried to double-team The Hulkster.

Nearly three decades later, Wright said on the Midnight Hustle Podcast that he did not care about his WrestleMania VIII main-event moment. He also found it difficult to say anything nice about Hogan:

“I was going through a bad divorce at that time, so Hogan, Warrior, Sid… that s*** didn’t mean anything to me. I mean, nothing. I didn’t care about Hogan, bro. He wasn’t no friend of mine. Still isn’t, you know. It doesn’t even matter, doesn’t even matter. He’s not the good guy people think he is, and I’ll let it go at that,” stated Charles Wright.

In May 2021, Wright also spoke about Hogan during an interview with WSI’s James Romero. He said the likes of The Rock and Steve Austin were “a lot nicer people” than the two-time Royal Rumble winner.
