Kamala wasn't Vince's gimmick.

Pretty sure Lawler came up with it in Memphis.

yes this is true, lawler told the whole story on jerichos podcast. he approached them they gave him a gimmick because lawler had an influence from art paintings and created him as an african heel and gave him the name and everything.

great interview.

It woulda been hard for him to demand more because back then the industry had so many heels and few super babys like hulk n warrior. He was expendable which is why i understand vince not paying him but damn. That was sad. He needs to be in the hall before he passes. Wouod be a tear jerker moment

didn't watch video so this might have been mentioned, but I remember reading that he got paid magnitudes less than Taker for their summerslam match.

you making stuff up ?
Dawn Marie Psaltis - Wikipedia
Psaltis in 2012, started an organization known as Wrestlers Rescue, in order to help pay for healthcare issues for former pro wrestlers in need. However, former pro wrestlers Jerry Lynn and James Harris aka Kamala, who were supposed to be the beneficiaries of two charitable auctions of wrestling memorabilia have both claimed to have never received any funds from said "charity".
