This was far from the WWE's finest hour. There are a hundred questions that could be thrown in the direction of Jerry Lawler and Jerry Jarrett, the guys behind the idea of this character. The most common query fans share being pretty straight forward, 'what were you thinking?!'. So, first of all he had a 'handler'. Apparently some people in Uganda are so out of control that they need a trained man in a safari suit to prevent them from behaving like a wild animal. Not only that, but his odd behaviour in promos was actually more comparable to an animal than a human; he didn't talk but grunt, swayed his body from side to side and appeared to be not really sure of what was going on. His attire included a tribal mask, face paints and a spear. In the 1980 and early 90's Kamala was actually a big draw in the WWE as a heel; having feuds with the likes of Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker. When Kamala entered the ring, the camera would often focus on young members of the audience that generally looked terrified.
