Is Mark Hunt the Kamala of MMA, does he need a handler?

[CombatCyborg]

whats crazy about kamala is he went to literally every wrestling promotion around wwe,wcw,nwa,wccw,japan,mexico,canada,memphis,florida, jcp and drew huge money. He has probably drawn more money than any ufc fighter ever. granted this was back in the 80's when people thought wrestling was real and actually bought into the fact that they pulled this guy straight from the jungles of africa. dude sold out 60,000 seat texas stadium when he wrestled the von erichs in wccw sold out every arena wrestling hogan in the wwf, sold out every arena wrestling lawler in memphis, dusty in florida, sting in wcw. its crazy to think about how succesfull this dude was

dude lived his gimmick to the max. acted like he had never seen people before and shit. dude lived his gimmick

lol awesome

Mark Hunt is out of control on social media. Posting gore, saying he's gonna stop fighting when he has a fight coming up, etc. Does he need a handler like Kamala did in the WWF?

The handler Mark Hunt needs:

Old pro wrestling is pretty rad.

My hope is that when the world implodes upon itself, 80's wrestling will be the only footage left salvageable for ETs. They'd be like WTF, man.

I love all these people saying "Oh, I never watched Pro-Wrestling"...kind of like saying you never watching bad Kung Fu movies on TV. It's OK, we've all done it, lads!

That little girl was traumatized.

The WWF had a "Savage" character that had a "handler"? Unbelievable.

Actually, it was very believe. The guy did a great job.

Reminds me of the toy wrestler I had of him when I was a kid even though I watched very little wrestling in those days. I wouldn't have even been able to guess his name, thank you TS for the throwback!

So even though you didn't watch wrestling, your parents knew you would like playing with a doll of a black dude in African cannibal paint.

great kamala segment. after he had already turned babyface in wwe. acting like he doesnt know what in the fuck a bowling ball is. this is after his big run. towards the end of his career.you can see how well the dude played his gimmick

Hunt does have a handler. His name is Hassy.

 

[hto63]

no because Mark Hunt is a real person while that guy is just a stuntman and an actor playing a role for the easily entertained.

You don't think MMA fans are easily entertained?

this is a great video that shows how good kamala was. Here he and george steele literally stall for 8 minutes before doing a single thing ( steele played the characted of an oaf) and although the video doesnt show it minutes later there was a riot in mlg that night due to the results of what happened during the match. crazy to think about but people bought into the fact that kamala had really hurt him. its funny before the match how there looking at each other with complete confusion. this was after kamalas big run when he was doing more comedy instead of the cannibal killer thing and it shows here

More WWE shit? Really?!?

Send this garbage to the Wasteland

No one thought rasslin was real in the 80s and Kamala never headlined Texas Stadium in front of 60,000 people
Geez Louise your history of the business is worse than McMahons

 

[Pliny Pete]

indeed but it can be argued that he also didnt save his money properly, a common occurence with most wrestlers at the time. and while he may have mad 1/20th of what hogan made that 1/20th was still very good money. multiple sources have confirmed working with hogan for an extended period of time (3 months, 6 months) left you with at least a high six figure payoff possibly 7 figures. i do know specifically from reading bret harts book that kamala made 200,000 for a single event when him and hogan sold out a house show in toronto that drew 76,000 people. Hart talked about how James Harris ( Kamala) had never seen that kind of money before and how estatic he was and how it showed bret how much money a maineventer in wwe could make. But this was also at a time when WWE was at one of its highest points. They were running an A show usually headlined Hogan and whoever he was working with a B Show usually headlinged by the IC champ at the time and a C Show usually headlined by the tag champs and were selling them all out. Buisness was just ridiculous at the time. and really the only other time that business was THAT hot was either in the 70's with bruno or the late 90's during the monday night wars when wrestling became pop culture.

OK now it makes sense
Dont believe everything you read in a pro wrestlers book
That 76,000 is a huge exaggeration
