Rest In Peace, James Harris aka Kamala the Ugandan Giant An unfortunate example of a wrestler who put more into the business he loved than what he gave out of it. It broke my heart to hear about his health problems. May he finally be at peace and at ease.

One of the very first wrestlers created for #WWFLegends years ago, the mighty #UgandanGiant leaves a mountain of memories and an iconic character that has and will stand the test of time. Though missed on earth, the legend of Kamala will soar on through the ages. #RIPKamala pic.twitter.com/ChNWGOKWVB

Twitter is sick. Trending #RIPKamala, it’s NOT KAMALA HARRIS, it’s a pro wrestler. But of course twitter wants you to think it’s Kamala just to freak you out. @Jack wth?

Hold up! Kamala Harris is a male wrestler who just died? I thought she was a Senator who used to be a “little girl” from California.
Looks like Sleepy Joe won’t be picking him/her as his VP.
