The legend of the WWE, James Harris, popularly recognized as Kamala supporters, died at the age of 70.

Under the terrifying face painting of Kamala, the 6-foot-7, 380-pound Harris battled the biggest superstars in sports-entertainment history, including Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker and Andre the Big. About 400 matches have been contested over a variety of periods for the WWE, reports IANS.

“He terrorised opponents and thrilled audiences in Mid-South, World Class Championship Wrestling, WCW and WWE until 2006,” WWE said in a statement.

“WWE extends its condolences to Harris’ family, friends and fans,” it added.

Expressing remorse, WWE NXT General Manager William Regal said on Instagram: “My deepest condolences to the family of James Harris. I first saw him on TV when I was a child in the UK and at live shows as “The Missisippi Mauler” Big Jim Harris and then had the pleasure of being on shows with him in the US. A lovely man.”

“RIP Kamala. I’m happy I had the opportunity to share a locker room with him many years ago. A giant of a gentleman. Godspeed sir,” said Frankie Kazarian on social media.

“Another legend who deserved to be in WWE Hall of Fame and alive when that time came. An all-around great talent and good guy that got over and stood out wherever he went. RIP to the great “Ugandan Giant” Kamala. His memory will live on forever,” said Elijah Burke.
