Papa Shango

WWF Circa 1992-1993

And let's continue on the road of bad gimmicks shall we? Well, in this case, this guy is still stinking up the ring. His name? The Godfather. AKA Goodfather, Kama Mustafa, K.A.M.A And in this post, he is Papa Shango. Shango was a Voodoo Man, who would cast spells upon his enemies (and people he didn't even know also). He usually came to the ring dressed in a torn trench coat like outfit, with a voodoo stick and top hat.

Also, he painted his face white, as you can see in a clearer photo below.

Anyway, Shango really was EVIL. In fact, his earliest notability was attacking Hogan after the main event at Wrestlemania VIII. Actually, he was supposed to run in, but missed his cue and totally botched up the ending. This of course, was ended by a Ultimate Warrior return, saving Hogan from his demise. Insta-feud #189. Saving someone from an ass-whooping.

Shango would torment Warrior, including making him regurgitate on television. Soon after his heat died out and was mearly a card opener for the rest of his stint.

After spending a mere 27 seconds in the Royal Rumble match in 1993 (due to a shoulder injury, notice the thick padding), Shango disappeared from TV, resurfacing a few months later for a KOTR qualifying match vs. Jim Duggan, which he lost. Since then, Charles Wright is STILL struggling to make it in the WWF.

But Hey, he still was a good person to get a laugh from. Look at the EVIL grin. Or more like a smile of a 5 year old coming home from the circus. Which ever you say, doesn't bother me.
