11 Best Lights Out Moments In Wrestling
11. Goodbye Mabel, Hello Viscera
After a rather underwhelming first run with the World Wrestling Federation, albeit one that saw him win the King of the Ring and main event SummerSlam, Mabel returned to the company at the beginning of 1999.
His first appearance saw him dominate the early stage of the Royal Rumble, after entering himself into the match at the expense of Headbanger Mosh.
Of the first eight eliminations of the Rumble, Mabel was responsible for five, throwing out such wresting legends as Tiger Ali Singh, The Blue Meanie and Droz. As he squared off with fellow legend Road Dogg, the lights went out.
Then, an ominous yet familiar gong was heard...
The Undertaker had promised a sacrifice, and it turns out he was particularly hungry. Bradshaw, Faarooq and Mideon hit the ring, eliminated Mabel and presented him to their Dark Master, Mr. Taker. Mabel was the one to be the sacrifice.
The next night on RAW the former Man on a Mission was reintroduced as Viscera.
