The Godfather recently looked back at the origin of his character and the advice his wife game him about it. The WWE Hall of Famer spoke about the origins of the Godfather character on Insight With Chris Van Vliet and you can see highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):
On his wife giving him advice on the character: “She basically said, ‘Instead of trying to act to be something that you’re not, just go out there and be your high-ass crazy, have a good time self at this point of your life.”
On The Undertaker saying he should be more of a serious character: “I’m like ‘You know, I’m-a roll the way I’m going, bro, because I’m enjoying myself, I’m making money, I got my businesses at home, I’m cool, I’m going out as The Godfather.'”
On Vince McMahon’s initial reaction to the character: “So, Vince heard about it and so when we went to TV, Vince says ‘Charles? Whatever you’re doing, I heard it might have legs.'”
