WWE Hall Of Famer the Godfather appeared on the Universal Wrestling Podcast and announced that he signed a new five year WWE Legends contract. The deal will allow Godfather to remain on the company’s payroll while appearing at special events and having merchandise released. Godfather appeared at Raw XXX in a series of backstage segments involving a poker game. During the interview, Godfather said he had been on a Legends contract with WWE since 2003.

It has been a long run. Check out some of Godfather’s time in WWE:

Opinion: Godfather is one of the most fascinating legends WWE has and it is interesting to hear what he has to say just about every time. It is also interesting to look back at some of the things that he has done during his time in WWE. Not many people get to have three distinct characters like he did and all of them worked well enough, at least to a certain degree. It will be nice to have him around in the future as his cameos are often a lot of fun.

What do you think of Godfather? Which of his characters was the best? Let us know in the comments below.
