1* BadassDecay: As the Godfather, though no fault of his own. It was when the Parent Television Council started cracking down on inappropriate material that really neutered him.
2* BrokenBase: His inclusion into the Wrestling/WWEHallOfFame as The Godfather. While some do think he was over enough in his peak to warrant an entrance, others feel a simple shtick such as a Godfather (not to mention one that carried such an amout of potential ValuesDissonance) is undeserving.
3* HamAndCheese: Wright did at least seem to enjoy himself as Papa Shango.
4* {{Narm}}: A wrestling voodoo man which used his magic to torture his foes by making them vomit and bleed just comes across as goofy and as such, didn't really get over with audiences like they wanted it to.
5* NightmareFuel: That said, there were children who were scared of Papa Shango; imagine a lumbering giant with skull face paint, carrying around a skull and making wrestlers and personalities sick. Yeah, it's easy to see why they were terrified. His [[https://youtu.be/5HkmGtpsc-4 theme song]] is creepy and definitely fits his character.
6* OlderThanTheyThink: Wrestling/BrayWyatt popularized carrying a lantern to the ring with him, but Papa Shango did that back in his day.
7* SoBadItsGood: How some people view Papa Shango.
