What I remember most about Kamala is that he headlined the last
wrestling show I attended with my grandfather before my grandfather
passed away. (It was Hogan vs. Kamala). My grandfather is the reason I
grew up watching wrestling and still watch it today. I never "started"
watching. I always watched, because he always watched.
