The first time I saw live wrestling at the Fairgrounds Sports Arena, Kamala main evented and beat Jerry Lawler for the Southern Heavyweight title. Of course I'm sure he did in every town on the loop that week as well. Being 1982, it was still real to me dammit! What a monster he was then before WWF. I thought maybe The King had finally met his match. Of course he hadn't. Great memories. RIP James Harris. I'll never forget you.
