How Vince McMahon Stopped A Legend From Leaving The WWF
The Undertaker and The Godfather are actually close personal friends ever since the early 90s.
The Godfather (aka Papa Shango / Kama) spoke about an incident in 2000 during an interview on the ‘It’s My Wrestling’ podcast. He talked about when a conversation between The Undertaker and Vince McMahon led to The Hardy Boyz dropping the WWF World Tag Team Titles to Bull Buchanon and The Goodfather himself, then representing Right To Censor.
He claimed that the title change was only done to keep him with the World Wrestling Federation, after Taker informed Vince about Godfather’s plans to leave the promotion.
Below was his exact words in the podcast:
“When they took me in as The Goodfather, it wasn’t fun no more. So right away I was like, ‘Dude, I’m out of here.’ I think Taker went to Vince and said I’m getting ready to leave, and all of a sudden they drop the belts on me.
And I had loyalty, I’m not going to run out with the belts. As soon as they got those belts off of us then I finished that because I really wasn’t having fun.”
