Quote from The Godfather

"I met him in 1987. Right away, we became really good friends, and we’ve been friends ever since."

The Godfather later went on to say:

"I don’t have a good record against The Undertaker. There are a lot of characters. But I tell people I’ve been put in caskets as Papa Shango [and] Kama. I’ve been beaten up as Godfather [and] Kama Mustafa. I’ve wrestled that man under five or six different gimmicks, and I beat him one time in a handicap match."

The Godfather later went on to say:

"I came back to be Papa Shango. They made me Kama Mustafa. Just as soon as I get to TV, they’re like, ‘Hey, change of plans.’ Me and Ron Simmons had a match. That’s the first time I met Ron Simmons, who’s a great friend of mine now. They say, ‘You and Ron Simmons are going to wrestle Undertaker, and you’re going to go over with a finish.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ That’s how that happened."
