Kamala, The Ugandan Website.

I've spent weekends starting at the computer wanting to write, having topics, having entire layouts for articles built and yet still unable to muster the inspiration to actually do it. And then there are other times, when I visit Kamala the Ugandan Giant's website and get so impressed that I curse out my "no weekdays" rule and write a big, long tribute to it. For those who don't know Kamala, he's an old pro-wrestler slash headhunter slash, nowadays at least, soul singer. I don't know why I felt the need to do this article. Blame dopey Tylenol PM; they're the ones who came out with golden vanilla-flavored happy medicine.

"[I]n a world where lovely lady humps are the new Beatles, you just never know."
That can be applied to so many situations.
I’m don’t know what to say about the blog intro and I’ve just tried like ten times. :)

mmmm, Tylenol 3. as it happens, that’s what I took tonight, via CWE to remove the APAP. Niiiice.

I like the Cobra Commander’s Day Off on I <3 Toys...but the rest of the show goes too fast...but then I'd rather read about all that shit riiight here, wif mah family :)

Off to read more goodies yay.

There is apparently a pharmacy somewhere within Oregon (my state) that will flavor your medicine any flavor that you want. I only learned this from the radio this morning, so I can’t give exact details.

The DJs couldn’t stop laughing at the idea, but it might work for you, Matt….unless chocolate and over-the-counter sleep medication has a deadly interaction.

Kamala’s CD might be one of the best albums of all time. But now I am in a bit of a dilema. Which is better? Kamalas sould cd? Or Macho Mans rap album "Be a man?"

Did you REALLY just do a full page on Kamala’s website? Matt, you never cease to amaze me…

I remember watching those early matches and always wondering what he was doing in there – he always looked lost. I was also a huge UT fan though, and watching Kamala’s eyes grow larger than his own head when he got scared was awesome…

I’m a little bummed that his PO Box is in Miss, though – kinda takes away that Ugandan mystique…

Am I the only one who thinks this guy would make a good "Street Fighter" character?

Chestnuts roasted by Tetsu Deinonychus @ 03/08/2006 2:20 AM

goddamn great read! It’s like getting a little bit of the good ol’ days in a brand new article!

I like when Earthquake posts on Wrestlecrap…he seems like a good guy too.

How can a Ugandan giant end up in Mississippi?

Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 03/08/2006 2:37 AM

Lou Ferrigno’s website isn’t bad either.

http://www.louferrigno.com/

I love when you rollover a button how that rod glows green.

Also, 30 bucks for a signed Lou Ferrigno shirt!

Chestnuts roasted by Tommy @ 03/08/2006 3:37 AM

Looks like Kamala’s page is going to exceed its bandwidth limit a FOURTH time. :)

Chestnuts roasted by RewolfJ @ 03/08/2006 4:28 AM

aaaah, the good old days:
Kamala, you are not an animal, you are a man!

Matt, you know that right after the feud with the Undertaker, and after the casketmatch at Survivor Series, Kamala became a good-guy. So you already knew that Kamala wasn’t the angry giant anymore. And we have Slick to thank for that!

Chestnuts roasted by Sjoerd Zegers @ 03/08/2006 5:04 AM

My cousin hipped me to Kamala’s page a few months back. I was occupied for hours. True story I got a Kamala action figure this past christmas check it http://static.flickr.com/9/77172392_58b783444e.jpg&quot; >here .

I remember that summerslam match – my favorite ppv had to be royal rumble.

The Million Dollar Man has a pretty cool page too. He seems to be a born again christian of some sorts. On his page he has link to christian children’s books. Good stuff.

Chestnuts roasted by Geoffinsanity @ 03/08/2006 8:19 AM

He had beef with hacksaw jim duggan? f’n wicked sweet. His music reminds me of william wallace. Not the movie charachter, the 350lb schizo NY performance artist who headbutted his fans and sang songs like "i whupped spider mans ass" and "cut the mullett" [props to retrocrush for tuning me in to that freak] This Kamala kid is the for real deal. Im gonna contact him just to try to get a high five or something.

I like how one of his stated nemeses was Andre the Giant. As always, the writers of this stuff go above and beyond. "C’mon, the Ugandan Giant, Andre the Giant? Everyone knows giants don’t get along. Write a chair in there and let’s go get some hookers."

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 03/08/2006 8:32 AM

Mother. Of. God. i just saw his "promo commercials" for his local events… wow. just.. wow.
did they give some shaky crack head a 5 spot to film those shots or what? looks like most of the video was done with an inept wife in the basement of his modest home. Whatta legend.

Chestnuts roasted by markoff_again @ 03/08/2006 8:36 AM

For someone who’s never been into pro wrestling – or any wrestling for that matter – at all, that was very entertaining.

Tetsu Deinonychus: If you mixed Dhalsim and E. Honda, you’d pretty much come out with Kamala. Maybe a less vicious Kamala, but some kind of Kamala nevertheless.

Chestnuts roasted by TE-Ryan @ 03/08/2006 9:39 AM

Wow, that is so awesome. I am such a Kamala mark. Good to see I’m not the only one.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt St. Cool @ 03/08/2006 9:41 AM

I can’t believe you didn’t metion the chain of past-their-prime wrestlers’ websites you can wade through via his "links" page. And then all the links pages of all those sites. Maybe this could become a regular feature? Reviews of old wrestlers webpages.

Chestnuts roasted by Dane @ 03/08/2006 9:49 AM

Holy crap, it’s Kamala! Nice job, Matt. I agree with Dane, that would be a great regular feature- old WWF wrestlers’ websites.

Speaking of wrestling, I bought Bret Hart’s DVD and I am loving every minute of it. The 3 disc set is worth it just for the old matches alone (Bret chose his favorites, including 2 versus Mr.Perfect) plus there is also an excellent, huge interview! I love Bret and I am so glad I found this DVD! ( I had to go to 3 different towns before I found it)Ahhhhhh, wrestling. OLD SCHOOL wrestling, to be exact. ;)

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 03/08/2006 11:21 AM

Awesome. I seem to remember watching wrestling occasionally when I was little, but this Kamala… I can’t recall. Too young. Anyway, I’m just glad a new article’s up. Yay! New article!

Chestnuts roasted by Gooper Blooper @ 03/08/2006 11:49 AM

*wakes up from his Trajeal-induced faint* hummina-hummina… wha-? Kamala? EEEEEEeeeeeeee! *thud*
Seriously, I gots to contact Little Brother, we’re both Kamala fans from waaayy back. When Pom-Pom dressed as KtUG on H*R one Hallowe’en, we had tried to call each other about the same time. O, wrasslin’, where has all thy great characters gone? Moondog Mayne, we need you now more than ever!

That’s actually Wesley Willis, the schizophrenic musical genius who passed away last year.

Rock over London, Rock out Chicago.

Chestnuts roasted by guttercar @ 03/08/2006 1:38 PM

TE-Ryan said what I was gonna say.. E. Honda + Dhalsim = Kamala.

Oh well, I’ll just go pout in the corner.
