Kamala on His Low Pay and Poor Treatment in WWE

Approaching the ring wearing an African mask, barefoot with nothing but war paint and a loincloth on with a spear and shield in tow, the Ugandan "headhunter" Kamala was an imposing presence in the ring.

But outside of it, the real-life James Harris couldn’t be a more gentle and kind soul.

Before his sad passing in 2020, Kamala opened up about his time in WWE.

"When I was in WWE, I didn’t make any money."

"I have no beef with Vince McMahon. Vince always was nice and kind to me. But in terms of the pay-offs, I think the WWE was disgusting."

Did you know?   WWE paid Undertaker $500,000 for his match against Kamala at SummerSlam 1992, while Kamala only made $10,000.
