How is it picking up girls from a strip club – a story by The Godfather?

The Godfather revealed that during his time in the WWE, Vince McMahon asked Charles whether he could get some women for the role. He said, “Vince says to me, ‘Charles, you think you can go get some girls? I’m like, ‘Vince, are you joking? You know, me and Taker are in strip clubs every night.

We know every strip club; we know every girl.’ So I grab The Undertaker, you know, I grab Mark (The Undertaker), and we go down to a strip club.” [h/t Wrestlinginc.com]
