Here is podcast I did with WWE/WWF Legend Kamala (James Harris) back in 2012. It was the 5th podcast I ever hosted so please ignore the stuttering, stammering and complete lack of interviewing skills. Kamala joined me and we talk about having his leg amputated and his current health situation. We chat about growing up in Mississippi and what lead him up to Michigan to start wrestling. Kamala tell us about his early gimmicks (Sugar Bear and Ugly Bear) and how Jerry “The King” Lawler introduced him to the Ugandan Giant gimmick that changed his life. James Harris tells us about his historic feuds with Andre The Giant and Hulk Hogan and why he never fought in a WrestleMania. He takes us behind the scenes, on the reason for his departure from the WWF after his coffin match with the Undertaker in 1992. From getting a check for UNDER $2.00 from WWF to Kamala’s refusal to break character made him have a run in with the law. Rest in Peace James Harris, thank you for 8 years of friendship!
