You had me worried/misled for a moment there. A certain California senator/recent presidential contender came to mind, but she is still very much alive and well.

Why this late wrestler (someone I've not heard of until now) used the name, I cannot understand, but I am kinda surprised that the politician didn't sue him. ::)

Kamala the wrestler was first billed as Kamala (initially “Kimala”) back in 1982 when the politician was only 18 years old.

Well that makes sense. He should've stuck with Kimala. (And of course, when Kamala was 18, she wasn't publicly known yet.)
