Kamala

Hailing from the wilds of Uganda, Kamala was one of the most terrifying Superstars sports-entertainment has ever seen. No one — not even his long-time handler, Kim Chee — ever seemed to know what the Ugandan Giant's next move would be, leading to a lot of bad nights for his foes.

Behind that chilling exterior, however, was the heart of a warrior. Not much was known about Kamala's life before venturing into sports-entertainment, other than that he hailed from the nation of Uganda and apparently worked as a bodyguard for former Ugandan leader Idi Amin. He was never seen without Kim Chee, as he spoke no English — conversing only in loud yelps and grunts — and looked like an intimidating monster.

Barefoot and clad only in a loin cloth, face paint, and moons and stars painted on his chest, Kamala came to the ring wearing a ritual African tribal mask and carrying a spear, often slapping his ample belly as well. A disturbing enough sight for opponents, made all the worse when you add in the fact that Kamala was 6-foot-7, 350-pounds-plus of man.

Under the tutelage of Kim Chee — and later Mr. Fuji — Kamala instantly became one of the most feared Superstars WWE had ever seen. While he was unsuccessful in his quest to win the WWE Championship, the Ugandan Giant took Hulk Hogan to the limit on several occasions. Later, after falling under Fuji's employ, he formed a deadly duo with a former World Tag Team Champion, Sika the Wild Samoan.

One of WWE’s most memorable Superstars with his intimidating war paint and unpredictable style inside the ring, Kamala ultimately endeared himself to the WWE Universe with a lovable innocence that showed the true heart of Jim Harris — the gentle giant under Kamala’s mask.
