The family of the late James Harris—known to fans around the world as Kamala, The Ugandan Giant—is proud to announce the signing of a Legends contract with WWE.
“We couldn’t be prouder that James’s legacy is back home where it belongs,” says Emmer Jean Harris, wife of James Harris.
“When we began working with the estate, my main goal was to get Kamala signed to a Legends deal—and hopefully into the WWE Hall of Fame. I’ve always felt that’s where he belongs, and I think many of his fans would agree.” says Jared Ashley, CEO and Founder of 16 Creative—the agency that facilitated the deal—added: “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.”
