#2 Kamala's WWE feud with The Undertaker

Kamala's very successful USWA run led to yet another WWE run, and started off with another push to build up his heel character to the main event level. Kamala even feuded with Bret Hart for the Intercontinental Championship, competing against him in several house show matches. To gain momentum to his character, Kamala picked up quality wins against the Texas Tornado, Jim Brunzell, and "El Matador" Tito Santana.

Kamala was once again used as a top heel in 1992, as he started an angle with the Undertaker. This led to a match at the 1992 SummerSlam, which Undertaker won by DQ, as well as a Casket Match at Survivor Series. Although both matches were relatively short, it still made The Undertaker look good, especially since he was further solidifying himself as a top babyface star.

It is worth noting that WWE trusted Kamala as a top talent, similar to his feud with Hulk Hogan, to make a top babyface star look good. Kamala was not viewed as an enhancement talent in these feuds, but more of a main event heel to make the babyface look good.
