Kamala talks about Hulk Hogan's racist comments, his feelings about Hogan, more

Kamala was one of Hogan’s notable feuds in 80s’

In a recent interview with Bleacher Report’s Jason King, former WWE star James ‘Kamala’ Harris commented on the ongoing row involving Hulk Hogan and the racist comments he made a few years back. Kamala was one of Hogan’s noteworthy rivals in the 80s’ and 90s’ and was notably concerned over the pay disparity during their program.

Harris said the following:

“That’s not the Hogan I know. Hogan always treated me like a gentleman. He genuinely cared about me. He was my friend. He’d tell me, ‘Brother, I’m getting my money. I hope you’re getting yours, because you’re putting asses in the seats.’ When it came to our matches, he valued my input. He’d always say, ‘What do you want to do out there, brother?’ I’d tell him, and then we’d go out there and do it. He’s a sweetheart of a guy.”

Kamala said Hogan just got caught with a “hidden recorder and said something he probably didn’t mean” and he’s not mad at his former foe. Harris added:

“I’m not mad at him at all. Deep down, he’s really not like that. He’s a super-nice guy. I don’t believe he’s a racist at all, no matter what he said.”

Harris also commented on what he would say to Hogan if he saw him now:

“The first thing I’d do is shake his hand and hug him, just like we always do. That wouldn’t change. Then I might say, ‘Hey man, what happened?’ But it’d be with a smiling face.”
