Topic: Charles Wright (wrestler)


  
  Charles Wright (wrestler) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Wright (born May 16, 1961 in Las Vegas, Nevada) is a semi-retired American professional wrestler, best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation as The Godfather.
Wright first gained attention in the wrestling world as part of the Memphis based United States Wrestling Association, where he won the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Title by defeating Jerry "The King" Lawler on October 23, 1989.
This would prove to be Wright's most popular character, as he portrayed a wrestling pimp that was often accompanied to the ring by several of his "hos" (typically played by local strippers hired by the WWF for one-night appearances).

 90s wrestling (yup wresting again )
He's just a prime example of good wrestler, crap gimmick though I think a feud with him and The Undertaker would be interesting perhaps (more interesting than a pointless Undertaker Vs Booker T booking) and would raise his gimmick credibility level a little.
Wrestlers are blading a lot more than they did around 5 years ago (I think HHH has been blading regular since at least Royal Rumble 2000 and now we've got Eddie Guerrero doing it!) The WWE will probably start hosting barbed wire, exploding ring steel cage matches (japan style).
Test like a lot of wrestlers is a very generic based wrestler and if given the proper character to portray himself (along with the likes of Prince Albert/A-Train) could have been given enough empathy with the crowd to make his feuds more interesting.

Wrestler brought action against wrestling organization which coordinated live events and distributed videotapes of such events which included wrestler's commentary, alleging fraud, misappropriation of publicity rights and quantum meruit.
The district court found that the WBA precluded royalties for the videotape exploitation of Ventura's performance as a wrestler.
During 1988, Titan paid videotape royalties to all 54 wrestlers appearing in the "Survivor Series," to all 57 wrestlers appearing in "Wrestlemania IV" and to all 38 wrestlers appearing in "Summer Slam '88." Again, these payments were inconsistent with Titan's stated policy because none of these videotapes had one featured performer.
