The Godfather (Charles Wright) recently revealed a behind-the-scenes story involving a tense meeting orchestrated due to fears that Ahmed Johnson might harm Jim Ross. The details emerged during a discussion with the late Gerald Brisco at a party hosted by Vince McMahon.
The Setup: Fears of Violence
According to the Godfather, Gerald Brisco approached him with a request stemming from concerns about Johnson’s potential actions toward Jim Ross. Brisco reportedly believed there was a credible threat and wanted The Godfather present during a meeting between the two men as a deterrent.
“Jerry Brisco… came to me and basically said, ‘hey, they think Ahmed’s going to kill JR. They want to have a meeting, we want you to go in the room’,” The Godfather recalled in an interview with AdFreeShows.com, as transcribed by WrestlingNews.co. “They didn’t want to do this unless I was in the room to stop something from happening.”
The Confrontation and a Warning
The Godfather agreed to attend the meeting and directly addressed the situation with Johnson. He remembers issuing a clear warning,referencing the perceived threat and focusing on a bag Johnson had brought with him.
“I remember telling Ahmed something like, ‘Hey, I’m in here basically because they think you’re going to kill him’… I’m like, ‘Dude, please don’t go in that bag. If you go in that bag, I’m going to have to react.’… And he didn’t,” The Godfather stated. He added that he doesn’t believe Johnson actually had a weapon in the bag.
