Michael Hayes said that Kamala was one of the best at his gimmick. It might seem racist to some, but he did do his job well. I believe his real name is James Harris, and he is from Mississippi, not Uganda.
You are right. I didn't see it at first. Shango was on the video wall. But if you don't look carefully it looks like they are coming down the aisle as a team. The match you are referring to I have. It aired on All American Wrestling in late April 93 and went to a double countout. I have another singles match between them in June 93 in Oakland and Shango won by pin.
kamala is my no.1 pick for the hall of fame, he is one one of my favorite wrestlers of all time for being one of the original 5-star CHARACTERS of wrestling. u should definitely watch bleacher reports: the rise and fall of the ugandan giant
if i had the chance to see him wrestle live and i dont think i could take it ..i mean the music, the way he slaps his stomach, his body his face , his mask . he would seriously give me a heart attack especially if i was near the entrace way ...omg he would scare the hell out of me
@1978mackdaddy seriously !! and thats cool you got to see that live .. and he is definitely something i would want after me as well ..specially with that music ..
@sgauden I'm with you if Kamala got some of the profits. If you look into the history of pro-wrestling you'll quickly see that has not/will not happen. In practice the wrestlers get screwed out of the royalties, while everyone else pockets the cash. So on that basis, skip the DVD set.
No it's not. He's not HOF material. He was never a true top star in his career. He never really won any championship or had any popular feuds. He was basically just a jobber his entire career.
@sgauden What the WWE should do is try to buy the library of Mid South Wrestling which was owned by WWE Hall Of Famer Bill Watts because Kamala wrestled in that region back in the 80's.

Easily one of the all-time best gimmicks. Back when we were kids, Kamala scared the crap out me and my friends.
Rest in peace Kamala. You will be missed.
Kamala you're 1 of the best legends and your support for us made me feel special cause I love wrestling and you, so I named 1 of my kittens Kamala, 🖒

Rest In paradise Kamala thank you for the wrestling memories man!
Your legacy will live in on
He played this role so well at times u wud think he really was a savge
He would arrive to the arena in character and he would make kim chi wear his mask when they drove.
R.I.P. An all-time great.
So sad about his later years. Especially when you hear that James Harris the man was a good person.

Those drums are badass
may we all slap our bellies no matter the size to pay respect for "The Ugandan Giant" James "Kamala" Harris

I liked it when he would get confused and roll the opponent onto their stomachs and try to pin them.

Kamala freaking scares me
Me to
I LOVE KAMALA! HE IS THE BEST WRESTLER OF ALL THE TIMES! BBBBBRRRYYYEAAAAHHH!!!
Kamala vs. Umaga.... DREAM MATCH!!!
IT HAPPENED
@1978mackdaddy seriously !! and thats cool you got to see that live ..
and he is definitely something i would want after me as well ..specially with that music ..
Kamala is a legendary wrestler. And i think nobody can named him 'Nigga", he is a great African-American.
Always drew as a monster heel every where he went.
I remember when i was young and he tag teamed with Sika i was afriad of them lol
THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE HEEL IN MY CHILDHOOD.
this thing just freaks me right out
Yeah Reverend Slick managed a good guy Kamala for a while.
What's the source of this music? miss this guy....... a true Legend !
Kamala was awesome!
Ay thats my Tio Beto! Kamala, Umaga, Papa Shango, and the Boogeyman woulda been wicked. Unstoppable.
Just one in a long list of great entertainers who were screwed by McMahon and his circle.
Kamala for 2014 WWE Hall of Fame!!!
***** kamala for grand chief of africa
I kept on thinking "I didnt know Rozay used to wrestle" every time i saw kamala
@Danfrombackhome Keep in mind, though. If you can't make it in Japan, your career is screwed.
first part kicks ass
Has there EVER been a better "wild animal heel"? Didn't think so.
He scared me so bad....this theme music still creeps me out
poor old Kamala lost his leg
Now unfortunately he's now lost both legs
@@itatsuuchiha96 now he's lost his life =( rip Kamala
kamla should come back he is 1
of the greatest and feareed wrestlerz
@sgauden I'm with you if Kamala got some of the profits. If you look into the history of pro-wrestling you'll quickly see that has not/will not happen. In practice the wrestlers get screwed out of the royalties, while everyone else pockets the cash. So on that basis, skip the DVD set.
This is awesome.
RIP "Uganda Giant" Kamala
hes on there.
@linkieloos they actually have wrestled each other before ..i saw it on an episode of raw a good while ago ...it should be on here ...
He passed away today just can't believe it, R.I.P James "Kamala" Harris it's definitely time for you to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
No it's not. He's not HOF material. He was never a true top star in his career. He never really won any championship or had any popular feuds. He was basically just a jobber his entire career.
Cheers, cenalover386. I appreciate you telling me that
@sgauden What the WWE should do is try to buy the library of Mid South Wrestling which was owned by WWE Hall Of Famer Bill Watts because Kamala wrestled in that region back in the 80's.
I remember when the reverend slick tried to "humanize" kamala by taking him bowling lol.
Ayer nos dejó el gran Kamala "El Gigante de Uganda"
hes awosome
he wasnt in it long anough, that would work against it, but im with you. :)
God, could you imagine the conniption people would have now if this character still existed in the WWE today?
@linkieloos no problem!! :))
Imagine inducitng htis dude qwith his ring attire: CLSSSIC MOMENT!!!
Shit Kamala was a muthafuckin " BEAST " boi
Kamala's mask is cool.
Rest in peace kamala
KAMALA ATE MY LAST COOKIE!!!
I'd have love to have seen Kamala squash Umaga.
Too bad it won't ever happen.
@sgauden hell yeah im with ya
Via Memphis,TN
yeah man this was when wrestling was good.
RIP Kamala
When did Kamala team up with Papa Shango?
@sgauden kamala was awsome dude i agree man he's a legend
thats just amazing kamala is better than umaga
in Finnish kamala means terrible and it goes well.
Rip Kamala
Why wasnt this song used in Legends of Wrestlemania?
@linkieloos they did have a match before
hall of fame
yeah was sacred to death of kamala and the undertaker for awhile when i was growning up
i think wwe should relase a dvd on kamala and be sure to give kamala all the profits not line mr mcmahons pockets
long live the ughandan giant
he wont ever wrestle again.. after a vehicle crash he had his leg amputated
@VADERTIME1000 he wasin't heel he was loved b the crowd if u mean entrance video then yeah i lover it when i was a kid to
kamala reminds me of umaga
OMG Rick Ross!!!!
