10 WWE Superstars You Totally Forgot Were A Babyface
4. Kamala
Yet another 400+ lb monster, Kamala, came into WWF as a top villain, battling the likes of André The Giant, Hulk Hogan, and Jake The Snake in the early-to-mid 1980s. Kamala disappeared from WWF television in 1987, only to return fives years later, once again as the villainous Ugandan Giant.
After several losses to The Undertaker in 1992, Kamala's status dropped and, like many others both before and after him, was turned babyface as a potential means to lengthen his run.
Unfortunately for the real-life James Harris, Kamala's run as a babyface was not a successful one.
Feuding with former manager Harvey Wippleman and Kim Chee, Kamala took on the also-freshly-turned-face Reverend Slick as his manager. Slick's attempts at utilizing the crowd to help "humanize" the Ugandan Giant were as successful as Kamala's good-guy run in 1993.
Some WWE superstars just have little-to-no chance at being accepted by the fans as anything other than a bad guy. With his physical and genetic makeup, Kamala is one of those talents that would've been much better served remaining a heel for his entire career.
