Talk about a gimmick that wouldn't pass the smell test today.

Yeah, in the later part of his career he was more of a comedy character, but at his height he was a pretty terrifying and devastating heel, he rarely sold, he usually had a high level manager, and he always looked like he was stalking his prey and getting ready for a meal.
When Kamala was at his height he was more of a territorial heel. You bring him in to pop ticket sales by setting up a match with your face champion, then he moves onto other territories.
With Harris, he would do that, you look at his bio and he worked almost every American Territory, but he was rarely highly paid as he was more of a short term gun working on a per appearance fee, then he would either go on to another territory, or he would go and drive a truck for a while until a territory needed a big heel.
There were bigger examples of guys like Abdullah the Butcher, or Maniac MArk Lewin, who would go from territory to territory and put on major blood fests, do a temporary pop up of ticket sales then move on. The difference is that Kamala really wouldn't burn out a territory, whereas Abdullah and Lewin would.
