Charles ‘The Godfather’ Wright was among the most vocal critics of the Right To Censor faction, even though he was a part of this group, during its existence in WWE.
Formed in 2000 and disbanding in 2001, the Right To Censor was an iconic faction in WWE that parodied the Parents Television Council – a group that was leading an aggressive campaign against WWE during the same period.
In an episode of the “Insight” podcast, Wright recounted his unfavorable experiences with the pro-censorship faction with a sense of loathing and detestment. He quoted:
“On a shoot, nobody hated it more than me. As much as Ric Flair is Ric Flair, The Godfather is me and it was just you took it away from me and it just like oh. It took the air out of it and I was done. I just I did my best and RTC just the music alone had serious heat. I did my best but that was the only time in wrestling that I really wasn’t happy and I was just waiting for it to come to an end.”
During his involvement with the group, Wright had to abandon his infamous character’s party-loving lifestyle and stand against the highly sexualized portrayal of women in wrestling prevalent at the time.
After defeating a lawsuit brought by the Parents Television Council, WWE ended the Right To Censor group following their performance at Wrestlemania 17 in 2001.
