James Harris, who chose the stage name “Kamala” before his 1984 debut with World Wrestling Entertainment (formerly World Wrestling Federation), enjoyed a two-decadelong career in the ring, going up against the sport’s biggest superstars, including Hulk Hogan, the Undertaker and his French counterpart, André the Giant.

At 6-foot-7 and 350 pounds, “he terrorized opponents and thrilled audiences in Mid-South, World Class Championship Wrestling, WCW and WWE until 2006,” said WWE on their website.

Iranian wrestler the Iron Sheik said, “GOD BLESS THE KAMALA HE ALWAYS PUT ON A SHOW FOR THE FANS GOOD BIG MAN WHO WORKED THE GIMMICK BETTER THEN MOST IT BREAK MY HEART #ripkamala.”.

“Another legend who deserved to be in @WWE Hall of Fame and ALIVE when that time came,” said retired wrestler Da Pope, whose real name is Elijah Burke, on Instagram.

“An all around great talent and good guy that got over and stood out wherever he went.
