Mabel, Viscera, Big Daddy V. Whatever you want to call him, you cannot say that the larger-than-life Nelson Frazier Jr didn't leave his mark on the wrestling business. He signed with the WWF in his debut year after a short stint with the USWA. Debuting as part of the group Men On A Mission, Mabel and co. were said to be bringing positive change to the lives of inner-city youths. The gimmick wasn't very good and Men On A Mission's matches weren't much better. Figuring Mabel would do better as a heel and with a monster push behind him, the WWF scrapped the fun-loving gimmick and turned big Vis into an ass-kicker en route to winning the '94 King Of The Ring tournament. It was quite a step down from Bret Hart the year before. Still, Mabel became a top heel in the company and feuded with Diesel over the WWF Championship. The resulting series of matches gave new meaning to the phrase 'slow and plodding'. On top of that, Mabel was nearly fired due to his recklessness in the ring. After taking a break from the WWF to wrestle on the indies, he returned as a member of Undertaker's Ministry Of Darkness faction. He hung around the midcard and battled for the hardcore championship before being released in mid-2000. But Viscera would come back with a vengeance. His turn as 'The World's Largest Love Machine' and feud with Kane and Trish Stratus made him relevant again. He stagnated, only to return as Big Daddy V on the ECW brand, battling the likes of CM Punk. He was released from his contract in 2008 and went back to the indies and Japan. Viscera, who was well-liked by those backstage, died of a heart attack at the age of 43.
