Kamala
Real name: James Harris
Hometown: Jungles of Uganda (unofficially Senatobia, MS)
Membership: Superstars, partners with Sika, Devestation, Inc., First Family, Dungeon of Doom
A.K.A.: Bad News Harris, Mississippi Mauler, Superfly
Finisher: Kamala Splash
Background: Look, it was the 80's.
Harris grew up fairly rough and had more than a few run ins with the law. He didn't care for that, and then he noticed that costumed fellows that seemed to have no issue with either money or staying out of jail, so he figured why not?
He signed on with Percy Pringle but never got above being a general legbreaker. In Memphis is where Kamala was born, mostly by cobbling together a costume and smacking Jerry Lawler. "Classy" Freddy Blassie took notice of his work and invited him up north. Sticking him with a 'translator' (mostly just to make sure he didn't actually main Hogan), Kamala did pretty well but left in the 80's for greener pastures.
He returned in the 90s but that is accounted elsewhere.
