"Vince helped Scott Hall, but he didn't help Kamala" - WWE Hall of Famer upset with Vince McMahon
In WWE, some people are able to get the help they need easier than others, it seems.
During the most recent edition of "The Snake Pit", Jake "The Snake" Roberts was asked by a fan of the show about his relationship with Vince McMahon, and he gave a very candid answer.
"It's not there. You can't have a relationship with Vince McMahon. He's not gonna let you get that close to him. I think he respects me and I respect him. Vince did a great thing for wrestling, but he could have done it a whole lot better if he would have just been more fair, if he would have paid the guys better, if he would have taken care of the guys after they got busted up."
Roberts went on to criticize McMahon for not taking care of some of his talents.
"You're a big billionaire and you got guys rotting and dying needing help. The worst was probably Kamala who desperately needed help. He made Vince a lot of fu**ing money. He was a big draw. I do know that Vince helped Scott Hall, but he didn't help Kamala and that just rubs me the wrong way." (h/t WrestlingNews.co)
James Arthur Harris played the character of Kamala on WWF/WWE television and passed away on August 9, 2020 due to cardiac arrest with comorbid diabetes and COVID-19.
