Nelson Frazier, Jr. (born February 14 1972) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring names Mabel and Viscera. He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment wrestling on its ECW brand under the ring name Big Daddy V.[1]

Throughout his career he has held championships in a number of promotions, including the top titles of the United States Wrestling Association off-shoots Memphis Wrestling[2] and Memphis Championship Wrestling,[3] and the World Wrestling Council promotion of Puerto Rico.[4] He's also held the Hardcore[5] and World Tag Team[6] titles of World Wrestling Entertainment, the company where he's spent the bulk of his career.[7]

Career

World Wrestling Federation (1993-1995)

Men on a Mission

Main article: Men on a Mission

Frazier began his professional wrestling career under the ring name Nelson Knight, comprising the team The Harlem Knights with his partner and kayfabe — industry jargon for not real — brother Bobby.[7] The team wrestled in the United States Wrestling Association and the Pro Wrestling Federation (PWF), winning the PWF Tag Team Championship on two occasions,[8] before being signed by the World Wrestling Federation in July of 1993.

Upon coming to the World Wrestling Federation the Harlem Knights went through a "gimmick" — or character — change, down to their names. Nelson (Frazier) became Mabel, while his "brother" became Mo, and they were given a rapping manager named Oscar.[9] Together the new team, dubbed Men on a Mission, was introduced to the WWF audience through vignettes, which was fairly standard practice at the time, that attempted to get the team across as three African Americans trying to make a change in the inner city neighborhood — hence the team name. The group, constantly clad in purple, debuted as solid faces, or good guys,[10] in the tag team division, and held the Tag Team Championship once, but only for two days.[6]

In 1995 Mabel and Mo turned on and attacked Oscar, becomming heels (bad guys).[10] As a heel, Mabel began wrestling more as a singles wrestler and was pushed to a win of the King of the Ring tournament in May,[11] with Mo acting as a manager.

King Mabel

Mabel added a King designation to his name after winning the King of the Ring tournament, with his former partner Mo following suit and becoming Sir Mo to act as his manager,[10] Oscar having been dismissed -- and attacked -- by the pair some months earlier.[9] Distinctly enough, during his tenure as King of the Ring, Mabel had a King of the Ring championship belt designed and created by belt creator Reggie Park. As the World Wrestling Federation didn't, and doesn't, create a belt for this title Mabel's belt is one of a kind.[12] Two months after becoming King, Mabel got the (then-)traditional match with the WWF Champion (Diesel) at the next SummerSlam, but did not receive the title.[13] Following that loss he became involved in the Yokozuna versus Undertaker feud, taking turns dropping legs across the Undertaker's face with Yokozuna until they (kayfabe) fractured his orbital bone.[14][15] Two months later, the Undertaker defeated King Mabel in a Casket match at the December 1995 In Your House: Season's Beatings pay-per-view[16] in what turned out to be the last major event appearance for Mabel (and Mo) in the World Wrestling Federation for two years.

Post-WWF (1995-1998)

For December of 1995 and the first part of January 1996 Mabel took dual bookings with the World Wrestling Federation and the Puerto Rico based World Wrestling Council. In WWC he engaged in a feud with Carly Colon, during which the Universal Heavyweight Championship was "held up" following a match between the two of them before Mabel won it and held it for a month.[4]

He was released from the WWF in early 1996 and spent much the next two years in Tennessee wrestling for the United States Wrestling Association, which went through a number of changes during his stay to become Memphis Championship Wrestling and Memphis Wrestling. While there he captured the top title twice.[2][3]

World Wrestling Federation (1998-2000)

On July 6,1998 Mabel made a one time, surprise return to the World Wrestling Federation to challenge, and lose to, the new King of the Ring: Ken Shamrock.[17]

Viscera

Main article: Ministry of Darkness

He made an official return in 1999, first appearing at the pre-show for the Royal Rumble, before appearing on the show itself, on which he was "kidnapped" by The Undertaker, his Acolytes (Bradshaw and Faarooq) and Mideon.[18] The next night he was re-christened Viscera[7] and began acting as the Ministry of Darkness' enforcer, adopting a more gothic look in the process; including white out contact lenses, a white mohawk and a black bodysuit.[19]

After the July 1999 break up of the Ministry, the Viscera character floated around the mid-card, frequently teaming with fellow former Ministry member Mideon, and becoming part of the burgeoning hardcore division -- winning the Hardcore Championship once[5] before he parted ways with the company again in 2000.

Post-WWF (2003-2004)

In March 2003 Frazier, using his Nelson Knight name, made a surprise appearance at a weekly NWA: Total Nonstop Action pay-per-view at the side of Ron Killings.[20] He appeared again the next week,[21] but didn't stay with the company beyond that.

He made a number of other independent appearances, including returning to the Memphis area and winning the Memphis Championship Wrestling Southern Heavyweight Championship.

World Wrestling Entertainment (2004-Present)

Frazier, returning to the Viscera name, returned to the World Wrestling Federation — now renamed World Wrestling Entertainment — in September 2004. His first appearance had him and fellow former Ministry of Darkness member Gangrel surprise and attack the one-time stable leader; Undertaker, on behalf of John "Bradshaw" Layfield.[22] After just two weeks on SmackDown!, however, he was moved to the RAW brand.[23]

RAW

In his first three months on the RAW brand Viscera mainly wrestled on RAW's sister show HEAT, only making sporadic appearances on the actual RAW show.[7] He had his first major angle on the brand in April 2005 when he was aligned with Trish Stratus to take part in a feud against Lita and her (kayfabe) husband Kane.[24] While they were working together Viscera and Stratus were featured in a segment during which he attempted to "seduce" her, only to be rebuffed until he "took care of" Kane.[25] That segment began a gimmick change for Viscera, transforming in to "The World's Largest Love Machine", he started wrestling his matches wearing pajamas and making overtly sexual gestures in the ring. He was also put in to a storyline where he was smitten with RAW ring announcer Lilian Garcia, and tried different tactics to seduce her every week.[26][27] At the June Vengeance pay-per-view Garcia reciprocated, proposing to him in the center of the ring, only to get turned down and left in the ring crying when The Godfather arrived with a number of his "hos" to show Viscera what he would "be leaving behind" if he got married.[28]

After the Lilian Garcia storyline ended Viscera was paired with the like minded "ladies man" Val Venis to form the tag team V-Squared. They teamed together for nearly nine months, mainly on HEAT, and though their record could be considered respectable — and they even challenged for the Tag Team Title on a few occasions — they never held the title.[29] When Venis was put out of action with a (legitimate) injury in April 2006, Viscera went back to singles wrestling. His first storyline back on his own was an attempt to reconcile with Lilian Garcia, only to be interrupted and attacked by Umaga during his proposal.[30] Two weeks later, when Garcia was (legitimately - accidentally) knocked from the ring apron by Charlie Haas, spraining her wrist[31] the incident was worked into storylines. Haas and Viscera began fighting over Garcia[32] — after Haas apologized[33] — and then both men turned on her and formed a tag team when she declared she only wanted to be friends,[34] only to be split when Haas was put back together with Shelton Benjamin and the reformed World's Greatest Tag Team.

ECW

On June 17 2007, Frazier was sent from the RAW brand to ECW in the supplemental section of WWE's draft.[35] Three weeks later he debuted on ECW's weekly television program completely repackaged as Big Daddy V, a powerhouse "hired gun"character.
