Kamala was one of those rare wrestlers who never needed a belt to draw.
RunDCM they didn’t make any big enough to hold his pants up
I also loved that Kamala never stayed in a territory too long. Made him seem even more special when you would see him.
Kamala beat Jerry Lawler for the southern heavyweight title.
Only Shawn Michaels needs a belt to be relevant
Jake the Snake too
“ Big fat funky ass Abdullah the Butcher” 😭😂😂😂😂
Lol...he went in on em quick
Loved it
I tried not to laugh 😂 😂😂😂
@@swacfan100 man I fell out of bed laughing 🤣🤣
I woke up my neighbors lol
He said when he goes out of this business he wanted to go out with a good name. Well I think he succeeded. You never hear anyone reputable badmouthing Kamala.
You're right, Kamala & Greg the hammer Valentine. I've never heard Greg bad mouth anyone.
@@scottyellis3442 Honky Tonk Man says Greg the Hammer double books and steals from promotors. Never heard any other bad things though.
@@Ditka-89 I guess that's possible but Honky Tonk man talks crap about everyone.
Because when asked the common answer is... Who???
@@wadewilson1312when they ask who YOU are yeah.
"Fonkee ass reebs!!" 🤣🤣🤣
I know Kamala was a character from Africa, but his Alabama, Charles Barkley-like accent got me dyin!! Lol
He's from Mississippi. Their accent is definitely different lol
He DOES sound like Sir Charles. Good call!😄
ME TOO,Lol GOT ME OVER HERE ROLLING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE BARKLEY
@@jeasonjones8644 haha... as soon as i went to the comments all i could hear was The round mound of rebounds
Nailed it catching the Barkley voice
Funky ass ribs, that was funny as hell 😂😂😂😂
Bruh this had me rollin 😂
He was roastin him on the low 😂😂
Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Abdullah's restaurant always scores low on the health scores. Kamala isn't lying.
When did Funky become an insulting adjective? I always thought funky meant cool
"James Harris
aka Kamala
(b.May,1950-Aug.,2020);
R.I.P."-😬..
blACKMALA
Being ok with a wrestler stealing his gimmick because he wanted a fellow black wrestler to make a living. What a class act, an even better man than a performer
He was a sweetheart to his own detriment
You know how I know he is telling the truth ?
Cause he very rarely has said anything bad about others.
RIP
New Jack also said Abdullah offered to book him in Japan for a 35 per cent of his pay.
Kamala is a great guy! So sad that he's had health issues...
It's very sad. But being obese all those years is so damaging.
Diabetes. ....T
I agree...RIP big man.
Fucking diabetes...I've got it too!
Kamala was great, played his character perfectly and made everyone believe the gimmick. Shame how he got screwed out of so much money, and had such a sad life after he finished wrestling. He was a big name for a while, and deserved better.
Wrestling was a white man game for a long time they just started I. The pass 5years letting black people shine
He sure did
He's so sweetly-spoken. You don't expect it from him.
I think he was a really genuinely nice guy. RIP Kamala.
True southern vibe
"I don't want none of his funky ass ribs"🤣🤣🤣
Im dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Best part 😂🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
He probably would have got funky ass HEP C if he ate them anyway
*I feel down and got written up* 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ 3:58 "He didn't ask me bout coming down to his restaurant, but I don't want any of his funky ass ribs" Lol
Closed my eyes and could've sworn this was charles barkley talking
shtdaprdtr yooooo he do sound like him 😂
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Yep
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Facts
Holy, shit! I never noticed how similar they sound...'til now! You do realize that I'll never, ever be able to not hear that now, right!?
He was one of the most memorable figures of my childhood as far as pro wrestling is concerned. Kamala was badass
💯% agreed
I miss so many of these guys (late wrestlers). They shoot/shot it straight. Wish they could still be here healthy with their families and to tell there stories again and again! This guy seemed so genuine, good spirited, and totally unfiltered! Southern charm…R.I.P…Kamala!…✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿❤️
Once Kayfabe was killed. So was the illusion of wrestling. In a lot of territories. The heels and babyfaces NEVER were seen together.
9:00 "I said fk you too."
🤣👏🤣👏🤣👏🤣👏
Oh wow! This is the first time I've seen Kamala get worked up like this in his shoot interviews. He must really dislike Abdullah
Yea man top comment
Abdullah is a well known p.o.s. ..when you get a gentle giant like this man worked...you know you're rotten 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm still yet to hear any wrestler of that time give any positive stories of the butcher.
@@heartedlytinmanadonis8857
What ? He may have been an asshole to most ppl but some have said good things about him.
-Teddy Long said Abdullah got him in the wrestling business.
-Don Callis : Abdullah may have been a pain in the ass to work with, but he was really nice to talk to.
-Jeremy Prophet said Abdullah was angry when Koko B Ware didn't want to put over the younger Jeremy
-Vampiro said that Abdullah is the one that helped him the most, in all his career
-Manny Fernandez said that he had some great matches with Abdullah where the latter took a lot of bumps for him
-Abdullah Kobayashi's gimmick is a whole tribute to Butcher who trained him. He was even around him during his retirement ceremony last year. (20 years after Kobayashi broke in the business)
He pushed his wheelchair and all
Also I think Abdullah is very close friend with Bobby Blaze
@Hairway to Steven you don't have to dig for most of what he said. Teddy Long, Vampiro and Kobayashi are pretty well known things. Gary Hart & Cactus Jack both were tight with Abdullah. Abdullah seems no different than many pro wrestlers from that era, looked out for themselves.
Rest in peace Jim Harris A.K.A KAMALA his shoot interviews are GOOD
Abdullah may be a legend, but I have heard many wrestlers speak on his unsavoryness. Kamala was always known as a class act.
In wrestling, there seems to be two types - those you hear nothing good about (Abdullah, New Jack, Hogan, Russo & etc) & those you hear nothing bad about (Undie, Kamala, Owen Hart, Sting & etc). Doesn't seem to be too much in between.
Yeah, James "Kamala" Harris was a real "Sugar Bear" of a man.
@@Krazyk007x2 I heard bad things about Sting but nowhere as bad as Abdullah, New Jack, Hogan, Russo, and Jim Hellwig
@@armandogarza3423 Like what? Just curious.
@@Krazyk007x2 That he had a really bad drug problems and can very weird or socially awkward. Almost aloof and distance. Bobby the Brain Heenan called him strange.
Lol...I don't want none of his ribs....Ill buy my own damn ribs
some place else lol
What a great guy, you can tell he was humble and nice as they come. Rip brother man.
Kamala is funny. They should have let him speak in his southern drawl when he wrestled in WWF . "Funky Ass Ribs" lol 😀😂😂
'His big fat funky ass' Deaddd lmaooo
Wow,that's so messed up how someone like Abdullah the Butcher could be selfish & unfair to other black wrestlers including Kamala,preventing them getting booked to performing in Japan just so that he could hog all of the spotlight and money,talk about a greedy bastard 😡😡😡😡😡😡.
Abdullah The Butcher was the real deal. He had a lot of haters, I'm starting to see that....
@@cartergarrett5905Abdullah was fucking trash. He wasn’t a wrestler, he was just a hack that cut himself all the time. He sucked plain and simple
Wow, He's usually so soft spoken and laid back about stuff. I take his word for it. New Jack said a similar thing about Abdullah's Japan offers.
Yeah that was my take on this ... Kamala is such a good guy he rarely talks bad about anyone and New Jacks never cared enough to lie that's what always held him back
So if you got them talking about you your probably a real life POS
I don't think anyone's gonna shed a tear when Abdullah the Butcher finally croaks.
He’s having hard times lately
It’s dope as hell to hear Kamala speak💯as a kid I really thought he was the character 😁
kamalas accent was straight up missisippi country, always sounds like home to me
Rest in peace big fella 😇 had to come back to see you! ❤
Abdullah the Slob was the human blob of wrestling
He been f'n people for years...LOL
That had me weak 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kamala seems like a good dude
I didn't want none of his funky ass ribs. lol
This interview alone is worth the 6$
Abdullah wanted all the money for himself
I'm sure he did, Eugene. But I wonder how many black wrestlers they wanted in Japan at various times. Baba was telling Abdullah what he wanted.
@@StretchPlum Ranger Ross and Ben Peacock were two that teamed with Abdullah.
Tony Atlas stated that Fuji did the same to Japanese wrestlers.
Apparently you're less of a draw when you're perceived as not unique.
@@rlouie05 True.
@@rlouie05 well some of those AEW guys learn that soon enough
In that case, in the States right? I wonder if that's why Akio Sato left WWF during the Orient Express tenure.
Such a Great Interview with a LEGEND. RIP KAMALA. 🙏
"Funky-ass ribs", lol. Funny interview. RIP, OG Kamala. Still have a toy of yours from my old collection of wrestling figures.
“Abdullah the Butcher, you don’t go Japan...” 😂😂
Haha!
too long of an intro
Just move the slider down a bit and pass it out.
7:15 pure gold.
"He begged me... Ya your👇 big funky @ss begged me!" 😂🤣😭
Kamala scared the SHIT out of me at a house show when I was like 5 years old. His feud with The Undertaker made me an Undertaker fan for life. The good old days.
Always found Kamala to be an interesting fellow. Would be nice to see him shooting more.
Too late now...RIP Kamala.
Damn no lie his southern twang sounds just like Charles Barkley !!!
He is from Mississippi.
@@lesliemiros6743 he recently passed away too so sad rip
Abdullah was a booker....wow!!!! Wrestling was soo tough!!
He’s speaking PURE TRUTH! If you want to get more truth about Abdullah The Butcher, Jake Roberts can add on to this as well!
Man, this shit was hilarious! Much respect and love for Kamala! Hope that he is doing well. Also, my condolences to the family, friends and fans of Shad Gaspard. Thank you and rest well, Hero. 🙏
He's dead
He passed away from diabetes I think. RIP Kamala. 🙏🏻
I love Kamala what a gentle soul GOD BLESS SUGAR BEAR HARRIS !!!
The first 4 minutes was hilarious when he described Abdullah and didn't want none of his funky ribs. Lol
He seems like a nice guy.
Id really like to hear more about the Japanese mafia and wrestling in Japan. Maybe one of these podcast will pickup
The real Kamala Harris, he actually deserved to be vice president
25 years old and I can listen to this man talk alllllll day looong. He like a soft spoken uncle who is as sweet as he wanna be.
Kamala and umaga together becoming tag team champion would have been so cool
As a southern man, I could listen to James talk all day. He seemed like a really decent guy. RIP
I wouldn't of went if he would have booked me lmao
One of the most kind and gentle man. He was one of the great ones. RIP good man.
Any story I've ever heard about Abdullah are always about what a rotten person he is . Nobody has anything nice to say about him.
No one
@Joe Di Carlo I'm assuming he acted pleasant to those giving him money. The Atlantic restaurant closed over 4 years ago.
@Joe Di Carlo So you eat his funky ass ribs?
@Paul Eaststar he's from Windsor Ontario and his mom is from the southern USA. He's not really from Sudan or have a Sudanese background.
He did infect wrestlers with a deadly disease
Abdullah would take 30% pay of the wrestlers that he would bring over in Japan. What a jerk
What a pleasant and genuine guy. RIP
Should bring Kamala on as a regular Like Tony.
Traveling is very hard for him after losing his legs.
@@bostonwrestlingcom over the phone
@@bostonwrestlingcom Give him a laptop and do videoconferencing! Everybody in the country is doing it these days.
R.i.p
@@rodimuspm Yep, too late now...RIP Mr Harris.
OMG, he is hilarious. He sounds like Charles Barkley a bit. "Bring me the head of Hulk Hogan!" Great stuff.
Mr. Fuji kept Asians out of the WWF and Jay Strongbow kept Indians out of WWF also.
Jay Strongbow did? He was portrayed by an Italian-American tho. Odd.
James Harris is the best, glad to have found this channel. A 508 guy myself, love the Boston roots!
Ray Candy (the guy who trained New Jack) said the same thing.
I remember New Jack said that.
I need the other 3hrs 🤣🤣 he is FUNNY!
after this now I gotta watch the whole interview!👍
I don't think I would've ate in Abdullah's rib shack either.
Rustyb1590 I actually ate at his restaurant and met him and he was there. The food was good and he was real cordial, he talked to us, let us see his scarred head and conversed with us. So all I know is my experience. Plus I lived in Japan and loved it.
"Yeah your big funky a** begged me".
kamala was great wrestler entertainer.
Never thought the type of rasslin that Abdullah did was any good.
Stab forehead with fork - repeat
I have more wrestling skills in my pinky then Abdullah has in his whole body.
Abdullah vs Kamala was a match I wanted to see as a kid.
They wrestled in Puerto Rico.
Abdullah the Butcher is a legend, but he is a horrible person.
@Justin Mayberry your logic is a little flawed here but I don't disagree with the sentiment
@Gene Bone that's 100% BS lmao
@Gene Bone he knew, he just didn't give a shit
@Marshall W I think he pretty much lost his mind from what I've read.
@@reasonwillnotprevail lmao
"This big fat fucka ass" 😂😂😂😂😂 2:52
I'm fuckin' crying here
Lol another sign of GREEDINESS...Kamala is telling it just like it happened...I always trust his and Tony Atlas and Teddy Long's shoot interviews...sounds so CREDIBLE!! 👊✌
Always trust those three humble dudes.
@Paul Eaststar Basically he's not West or Central African/descent.
Paul Eaststar So how many times are you gonna keep posting this? What point are you trying to make? I’m happy he is NOT black American because I hate people who knowingly infect others with a damn disease.
It’s scary how Tony’s story about Brody never changes every time he tells it.
RIP. Thanks for the memories
My first time hearing Kamala's real voice. The man is country!...lol
Kamala in the wwe hall law fame
Hey that's a real cat right there.....real as it gets....I grew up watching that man...he played a awesome character very well and never sold out....men ain't made that way no more....kamala you are missed....god bless
RIP Kamala
Ok im subscribed, im in, im lisntnin...
41 years old so i know all these old school wrestlers...so many memories...my personal favorites were, pretty much all the bad guys..!!
Rick Rude Mr.Perfect Randy Savage
Bruttis beef cake...These dudes were almost like comic book superheroes...
I don’t care what anybody says. If a black man (which I am) tells me somebody got “Funky Ass Ribs” I believe them lol
Brilliant man and character pure wrestling gold.R.I.P big man!
"big fat funky ass" 😂😂😂
Iv heard that for years,having many,many folks in the business.....love this legend right here....
R.I.P KAMALA LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
It seems too me that good 'ole Abbie made A LOT of enemies through the years. And god bless big Jim Harris. The shit that poor soul went through getting shafted on pay wherever he wrestled just ridiculous. I think the WWE abused him their is no doubt in my mind about that. He was a monster in the ring but the absolute SWEETEST guy outside of it. RIP big man.
Hello Everyone, I personally, have RAN into Abdullah, three TIMES. WE HAVE, sat down and had great conversations. IM 47 years old, I'M a huge, wrestling fan. well anyway, I hope that everyone is doing well.💋💋💋💋
Thanks, likewise. ✌️
I remember ECW had a Kamala knockoff named Uganda
R.i.P. to one of the best Kamala.
This was great! I remember when Kamala first showed up in Memphis. I was legit scared of him. Such a great guy, and character. R.I.P.
No wonder I never seen them really work together.
I always enjoyed eating at Abdullah's Ribs and Chinese food restaurant in Atlanta. He closed it down after loosing a lawsuit for spreading Hep C to fellow wrestler in Canada named Hannabal . He sold it and filed Bankruptcy so he would not have to pay the 2 million dollar settlement. But his ribs and food was delicious.
Abdullah a punk. Bruiser Brody dark side episode showed his true colors. Turned his back on Brody
kinda lines right up with Tonys opinion on certain black wrestlers.
Yes
Kamala in mid south was my favorite
When he cough I grab my mask😂😂😂 knowing this is a old video
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 that part about the Ribs
Dam , Sounds
Like Kamala lost his
Ugandan accent . 😆
He isn’t really from Uganda. It was a part of his character bro.
@@jrsmith1998 I’m well aware of this .😆
@@VictorHernandez-iq1zg 😂. I know. I was just trolling.
