He himself sported a unique look which was the first of its kind to be seen in WWE. Wearing nothing but a loincloth and tribal art designs with an African mask, Kamala brought something new and interesting to the table.

Despite his simple nature, when it came down to business, it would be business for this man. Peculiarly armed with a spear and shield, he was given the nickname “The Ugandan Giant” for his massive physique and strength.

Kamala was also a selling point because apart from André the Giant, he was maybe one of the only other giants to be present. The 6’7″ behemoth surely was a spectacle to watch.

Life outside the ring sadly hadn’t been the kindest to this lovable giant. He had to get his left leg amputated in 2011 following some problems with High blood pressure and diabetes. In 2012, his right leg had to be amputated below the knee as well.

The past decade had been a tough time for Kamala and he had to battle some pretty unfair odds. However, he always played the cards and dealt with them with optimism. No one will ever forget this one-of-a-kind Superstar who undoubtedly should be inducted into the Hall Of Fame one day.
