In a post on Facebook, the family of former WWE Superstar
Kamala announced that his estate signed a WWE Legends deal,
five years after his death.
“We couldn’t be prouder that James’s legacy is back home
where it belongs,” wrote Emmer Jean Harris, wife of James
“Kamala” Harris.
Jared Ashley, CEO and Founder of 16 Creative, the agency
which worked with his estate to negotiate a deal with WWE,
said that when they began working with the family, the main
goal was to sign Kamala to a Legends deal and hopefully an
induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.
“I’ve always felt that’s where he belongs, and I think many
of his fans would agree,” he said. “It has been such an
honor to work with this family over the past few years, and
now with WWE, to help preserve Kamala’s incredible legacy.”
Known as “The Ugandan Giant,” Harris lost his life at the
age of 70 due to a cardiac arrest after a bout with COVID-
19.
