Godfather points out that times have really changed in terms of the wrestling business. He can’t imagine a character like Godfather existing today. Also, The Nation of Domination and their black power promos were hated by fans back in those days, but if a faction existed like that today they’d probably be huge babyfaces.
He points out that the transition from The Godfather to The Goodfather as part of the Right to Censor was very tough for him. Sometimes he even refuses to sign Goodfather pictures at meet and greets because that was a very dark time for him. He knows it’s all a work but going from having fun and making everyone happy to being the bad guy and hating fun was very difficult.
Godfather talks about his Hall of Fame induction. Mark Carano called him and told him that he was being inducted and he was very surprised. It was an honour for him but he still can’t believe he forgot to thank his wife in his induction speech. Every podcast or interview he’s done since he’s been sure to mention how supportive she’s been over the last 20 years.
That sums up this week’s episode of Dinner With the King. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
