The WWE posted a video of the newest inductee into the 2016 WWE Hall of Fame and I don’t know what to think about this. The Godfather was definitely an amazing character that pretty much epitomizes the WWE Attititude Era, but I never thought he would make it into the Hall of Fame.
Hear me out, because I can almost feel the hate coming my way. Yes, I would put The Godfather in the Hall of Fame in a vacuum. He was that memorable and Charles Wright deserves it for all the work he’s put in. Think about it though, the WWE is PG and stubbornly PG. So they posted this video on the induction of The Godfather referencing heavily his “Ho Train” shtick.
This is a sensitive time especially when it comes to women. So is it a great idea to put the character of a pimp on a pedestal for people to criticize? Maybe it won’t happen. Maybe this induction will come and go and no one will make a stink about it. I don’t know but just thinking about how the internet works, all it takes is a small handful of people to see this video and get angry about the WWE openly referencing women as “Hos”.
Well, let’s see how it plays out.
