Loss Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Posted July 26, 2011 Papa Shango burns a picture of the Ultimate Warrior and threatens his demise. Why is he doing vignettes after debuting?? Quote
shoe Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 This is funny, I can see Shango scaring kids though. Quote
El-P Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 I loved Papa Shango. I thought Kama was decent. I thought the GodFather was rather embarrassing (a face pimp was the nadir of the Russo era in WWF). I thought the GoodFather had zero reedeeming value. Quote
Kevin Ridge Posted August 28, 2012 Report Posted August 28, 2012 I wish we got a bit more from Sid/Warrior but I guess you can slide Shango into the spot instead. If I was like 5 years old when he came around I probably would have been terrified of him. Quote
flyonthewall2983 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Posted August 28, 2012 This is funny, I can see Shango scaring kids though. Oh he did indeed. Especially at house shows. Quote
PeteF3 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Posted July 21, 2013 Papa Shango burns a picture of the Ultimate Warrior and threatens his demise. Why is he doing vignettes after debuting?? Presumably damage control over Sid's walkout. I know for a fact that the Shango gimmick in general and the puke angle specifically were the final straw(s) for a LOT of longtime fans, who gave up on the WWF. I was always fascinated by Voodoo as a child so I got a kick out of the gimmick, but this is SUCH a step down even from Sid as a main event heel. Quote
MikeCampbell Posted August 12, 2013 Report Posted August 12, 2013 I think I've said it before, but I'll repeat it here. Papa Shango is the biggest rip of of Baron Samedi from Live and Let Die. It makes me think that Vince caught the film on TV one night and decided to use the gimmick. Quote
garretta Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 Shango looks more to me like the kind of voodoo villain that Batman would have opposed back in the sixties, complete with bad dialogue. I could see him scaring very little kids for about as long as it took their parents to stop laughing and explain things to them. I don't know what else Vince could have done once Sid walked out, but there had to be a better idea than this somewhere. There simply had to be. Quote
dawho5 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Posted April 17, 2020 He was burning pictures of Warrior, oh my! What will he do next?? Also, if he hates the living so much why was he helping Sid? Quote
