10 Awful WWE Ruthless Aggression Gimmicks That Didn't Get Over

Few WWE superstars in history went through as many gimmicks as the late Nelson Frazier Jr. He started off as Mabel in Men on a Mission, transitioned into the evil King Mabel before being brainwashed into becoming Viscera by The Undertaker. That was as good as it got for the big man, as his return to WWE in 2005 saw him take on one of the dumbest personas in company history.

Whilst I’m somewhat reticent to jump on the ‘Vince McMahon finds fat people funny’ train, how else can one begin to explain The World’s Largest Love Machine? Viscera wore velvet pyjamas to the ring and spent most of his matches making sexual gestures at his opponent, the referee and anyone else within his magnetic field. He began a romantic storyline with Lillian Garcia of all people, a story that ended when Viscera turned Garcia down in the middle of the ring and chose The Godfather’s bevy of ladies instead.

The Viscera/Lillian love story resumed a few months later, but only served to fuel a heel turn for the big man when he gave the ring announcer a Samoan Drop and formed a team with Charlie Haas. Keep in mind that Viscera only turned face after delivering a big splash to Trish Stratus. If anyone tries to tell you in 2018 WWE is worse than it has ever been, they are lying to you.
