1* AudienceAlienatingEra:
2** His {{face}} run in 1993.
3** His appearance on the July 26, 2004 ''Raw'', where the [[Wrestling/WWEDivaSearch Diva Search]] contestants were supposed to try to "seduce" him, and, of course, none of them knew who he was.
4* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: His [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdGh4ICeAIY entrance music.]]
5* BadassDecay: As a face. Wrestling/BobbyHeenan even ''acknowledged'' this on commentary at the start of the Kamala-Kim Chee match on the Creator/USANetwork March 28 (taped March 7), 1993 ''March to Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}} IX'' special, saying that Kamala didn't have the same kind of killer instinct that he had when he was with Harvey Wippleman and Kim Chee.
6* FairForItsDay: The Kamala gimmick has been criticized in recent years for being culturally insensitive. Yet, the gimmick was scarcely an example of UncleTomfoolery - he was billed as a monster heel across several territories and to this day is rememebered as one of the best giant wrestlers of all time.
7* HilariousInHindsight: His real name was James Harris, making him James "Kamala" Harris. U.S. Vice President UsefulNotes/KamalaHarris, anyone? Doubly so considering that Kamala Harris was elected Vice President shortly after his death. This coincidence was {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Creator/JimmyKimmel on ''Series/JimmyKimmelLive'' when he had Harris as a guest, admitting that the first thought he had when he first heard about her was Kamala the wrestler. Harris for her part revealed that she was aware of it and found it funny.
