5 WWE Superstars who lost 100+ lbs

#1 Former WWE Superstar Viscera

In February 2014, former WWE Superstar Viscera – also known as Mabel and Big Daddy V – died at the age of 43.

Speaking to TMZ shortly after his death, Viscera’s wife Cassandra said the 6ft 9in Superstar had lost around 100 lbs after being told by doctors that his blood pressure was too high.

Although Viscera drastically changed his lifestyle by removing salt and sugar from his diet, he died after suffering a major heart attack just four days after his birthday.

Viscera was a well-respected member of the WWE locker room, as you can see from these tributes from John Bradshaw Layfield and William Regal.

Really sad news about Viscera/King Mabel. Spent a lot of time around Viscera and enjoyed having him as a friend. RIP.

Viscera spent nine years in WWE over three different spells between 1993 and 2008, with his biggest highlight coming in 1995 when he won the WWE King of the Ring tournament during his run as the Mabel character.

The former WWE Tag Team Champion was billed at 487 lbs for the majority of his WWE career, making him one of the heaviest Superstars in the company’s history.
