The Godfather: WWE Never Let Me Go, I Never Asked To Come Back, They Would Always Call Me

The Godfather says WWE always brings him back.

In 2002, The Godfather wrestled his final WWE match on Velocity and retired shortly after. Over the years, The Godfather has made numerous appearances on WWE programming. According to him, he never asked WWE to come back.

Speaking on Rewind Recap Relive, The Godfather said WWE never let him go completely. He never had to give them a call for a return. It was always the other way around.

“Dude, they never let me go. I’m not trying to blow steam up my own ass, but I’m just telling you, they never let me go. I never asked to come back. They would always call me. I think they just liked hanging around. I think they just like me. I’m a good dude, though, but they like me being around. They would call me with angles, and I’m like, ‘I’m not doing that.’ But mind you, financially, I had money coming in. So it was easy for me to say no. I’m like, ‘No, I’m not going on the road. I’m not getting hit over the head with chairs and tables.’ Back then, man, you were wrestling 300 days a year. It’s not like it is now.”

Elsewhere in the interview, The Godfather discussed dropping his Godfather gimmick. Fans can read more about it here.
