10 Wrestler Deaths WWE Ignored

5. Viscera

Ignoring the death of Nelson Frazier on WWE television seemed like an odd choice, as Vince McMahon must have liked the guy quite a bit, otherwise he wouldn’t have kept bringing him back and repackaging him on multiple occassions.

Debuting in 1993, Frazier was turned into Mabel; a big man who loved to dance and rap. Due to his size, McMahon saw main event potential in him and gave him the accolade of winning the 1995 King of the Ring tournament. He flopped in the role of top villain, but remained a mainstay in the company until he was released in 1996. During the Attitude Era he was brought back to play Viscera, a trench coat wearing henchmen in The Ministry. It was a bold makeover, and it gave him employment for a few more years.

Frazier was let go in 2000, only to return once again in 2004. For most of that time he was a comedy act highlighted by his run as the World’s Largest Love Machine. When that played itself out, he was repackaged once more as Big Daddy V, one of ECW’s most unstoppable forces. Fans didn't buy into it, perhaps because they'd just watched him wrestle in pajamas the previous few years. In 2008 he was let go once more, and hit up the independent scene until his death in 2014.

All of those matches on television, along with multiple big pushes were not enough to earn the 43-year-old the sendoff he deserved.
