10 WWE Stables You Totally Don't Remember

9. Men On A Mission

Mable, Mo, and their manager Oscar were three monstrous large competitors who initially entered WWE as a bloodthirsty heel unit, before being repackaged as “Men on a Mission.” They wore garishly bright clothes with their big smiles, and as Oscar rapped them to their ring, they had only one goal in mind: to spread positive vibes.

It was every bit as cheesy and gag-inducing as it sounds.

Men on a Mission were supposed to be super-babyfaces who’d make the fans adore them by inspiring positive change in urban neighbourhoods. They were promoted through a series of kitschy vignettes that saw them walking down various streets in impoverished ghettos, preaching the power of positivity several decades before The New Day’s inception.

Despite their inherent corniness, Men on a Mission were a moderate success with the crowd thanks to their fun-loving personalities and Mabel’s outrageous size. Mabel and Mo eventually turned heel by attacking the Smoking Gunns and Oscar in 1995, and continued as a two-man unit thereafter. Mabel became King of the Ring in 1995, but both were released less than a year later after fracturing The Undertaker’s eye socket and almost breaking Diesel’s back in separate matches.

Mabel would later return to WWE a couple of times as Viscera, but the “World’s Largest Love Machine” is best left in the past.
