One of a select few wrestlers that the WWE rehired over and over again, that explains why Nelson Frazier Jr. went by so many names during his time with the company. Debuting under the name Mabel in 1993, during that run he won the King of the Ring, challenged for the WWE Championship and seemed destined for big things.

Released from his contract the first time in 1996, during the Attitude Era he returned under the name Viscera and became a member of The Undertaker’s Ministry of Darkness. Following up that gimmick with a run as the “world’s largest love machine” before he was turned into the Big Daddy V character, his final tenure with the WWE ended in 2008.

He is no longer with us due to a heart attack that took his life in 2014, despite his many years in the wrestling business he was only 43 at the time. The topic of a lawsuit that alleged the WWE was partially responsible for his demise, his widow’s case was dismissed after a lengthy battle.
