RIP: LEGEND PASSES AWAY AT 70 AFTER TESTING POSITIVE FOR COVID 19 - FANS IN GREAT SHOCK!

WWE had issued a statement confirming the death and then described him - “Under the frightening face paint of Kamala, the 6-foot-7, 380-pound Harris battled the greatest Superstars in sports-entertainment history, including Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker and Andre the Giant. He terrorized opponents and thrilled audiences in Mid-South, World Class Championship Wrestling, WCW and WWE until 2006.”

According to a reporter (Jason King), Kamala had tested positive on Wednesday for COVID and was then hospitalized on Wednesday night. He seemed to have been recovering but on Sunday, he had cardiac arrest and passed away.

Spoke w/ Kamala’s wife. He tested positive Wednesday for COVID which he likely contracted from one of his numerous weekly visits to the dialysis center. Was hospitalized Wednesday night & seemed fine & in good spirits this morning. Went into cardiac arrest & passed this afternoon
