Kamala was one of those people who made watching wrestling a wonderful experience!
Those were the days when even our mamas and papas could even tell you the names of every wrestler shown on TV grin

James Harris (May 28, 1950 – August 9, 2020) was an American professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Kamala. Nicknamed "The Ugandan Giant", Kamala portrayed a fearsome and simpleminded Ugandan who wrestled barefoot in war paint and a loincloth, and approached the ring wearing an African mask and carrying a spear and shield. He is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the mid-1980s and early 1990s.

Memories of childhood coming in a rush. I remember Tito Kamala, I remember he's black. Don't even know anything called Africa then. I sha know my house address in Lagos. Whether Lagos dey Ghana o or e dey Canada no be my concern. We were soooooo young and innocent. I miss those days of Skylolo, Mighty Igor, Mascara and Hulk Hogan.

Rest in peace man.

Respect sir if you knew Mighty Igor and Tex McKenzie.
These guys were way back before the likes of Hulk Hogan and Undertaker.

Their contemporaries were Argentina Apollo, Big Daddy, Ivan Puski that looks like a white version of Uwaezuoke, Jimmy Superfly. Mill Mascaras.

shaaiii , this people real lie for us no be small.

StagethemTVee:
The way Kamala took to his heels when he saw Undertaker's casket and the look on his face in their Survivor Series Bout in 1992 remains a classic anyday. Kamala was not just a wrestler, he was a comedian too.

Before Black Panther's Tchalla, We had the Ugandan Warrior. Rest well.

Thanks for the respect and it was much fun back then with black and white television.

Mighty Igor always chewing on a chicken lap while Tex Mc Kenzie was real talk and would just swing his legs over the ropes. The referee was always on black and white stripes with black shorts lol. The stripes shirt or shorts might not have been black and white but back then it was black and white tv.

Someone mentioned the power of Branding. This indeed is power, how an American is branded as a savage from Uganda still baffles me. Never believed or will never have believed that Kamala was an American. Power of persuasion. I wonder the lies and theories that has been forced down our throat by these marketers.
