WWE decided to bid goodbye to its most decorated superstar this past Sunday. The 34th Survivor Series marked the 30 years and the in-ring retirement of The Undertaker.

From Vince McMahon to various Hall of Famers, everyone came out to celebrate the final night of ‘The Deadman.‘ Amidst the legends, there was Charles Wright, known in WWE as The Godfather. He is an old friend of The Undertaker with a friendship of almost thirty years.

In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, The Godfather spoke about his friendship with the most iconic wrestler in WWE. The duo first met during their early days at WCW.

As reported by SI, The Undertaker specifically requested The Godfather to be present during his final stride. Wright was a part of the famous Bone Street Krew.

“When WWE invited me to the Survivor Series tribute for Mark, I texted him right away and said, ‘Let’s do a BSK reunion,’” said Wright. “We paid homage to Mark Calaway and the phenom that he created with The Undertaker.”

The private party took place on the night before Survivor Series. The guests included BSK’s Savio Vega, Rikishi, and Henry and Phineas Godwinn, as well as close friends Booker T and longtime WWE official Tim White.

The party had beer and whisky and no food. Wright recalls, “For that one night, the past came back to life,”

“If you didn’t know any better, it felt like it was 20 years ago. We told stories, we hugged, we cried—and we put Timmy White to bed, just like we used to back in the day.”

The Undertaker became a legend due to his integrity

In the highly demanding sports of wrestling, wrestlers not only get physically affected but also emotionally drained. Under these circumstances, Undertaker remained in the industry for three decades.

Wright believes the reason for Undertaker’s long tenure was ‘The Phenom’s integrity and dedication to his craft.

“Mark is honest, he respects the business and he never forgets about his friends,” said Wright. “He changed the business, especially for big men. He’s one of a kind.”

“All of us that could be there on Saturday were there, and we had a hell of a night. I’ll remember it forever,” concludes The Hall of Famer.

Truly, there would not be another legend like the Undertaker. What he achieved is unmatchable. It is only a matter of time before he joins the Hall of Fame.
