WWE: 9 Most Out Of Shape Wrestlers In History

6. Viscera

Whether you know him as Viscera, Big Daddy V, or Mabel, Nelson Frazier was one of the most well-liked and pleasant big men in recent memory. Unfortunately, while weighing in at nearly 500 pounds made him famous, it also cost him his life at an extremely young age. Debuting in the WWF in 1993, the team of Mabel and his tag partner Mo were given the gimmick of two guys trying to make a positive change in their inner city neighborhood. While the message was good, the gimmick was lame and Mabel turned heel in 1995. He subsequently won the King of the Ring tournament that year and was pushed as the company's top heel. To say Mabel's run at the top was a failure would be an understatement. While Mabel was good for his size, his match with Kevin Nash at the 1995 Summerslam event was a cure for insomnia. He left the WWF in 1996, returning a few years later to join the Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness and was renamed Viscera. He wrestled mostly in opening matches until 2004 when he became the "World's Largest Love Machine". Strangely enough, it was this gimmick that seemed to finally click with the audience. The live crowd genuinely liked Viscera's act and his storyline with Lilian Garcia was entertaining. However, he left Lilian at the altar and the angle fizzled out. Viscera was repackaged one last time in the WWECW brand, taking the name Big Daddy V and giving millions of people nightmares by showing off his tattooed, massive torso and his man boobies. At the age of 43, Viscera died from a heart attack, a fairly common occurrence for someone who may have been close to 550 lbs. at one point. The World's Largest Love Machine may have been better off losing weight and becoming the World's Nineteenth Largest Love Machine.
