Nelson Frazier Jr, best known as his ring name Viscera (and also Mabel and Big Daddy V), was born in
North Carolina, USA. He made his professional debut in USWA with his partner and (kayfabe)
brother Bobby as the team The Harlem Knight, under the name Nelson Knight. They also wrestled in
PWF, twice winning the Tag Team title there.
When he joined WWE in 1993, their gimmick was changed to a team trying to make positive change
in the inner city neighbourhood – Nelson as Mabel, Bobby as Mo and their on-ring manager Oscar.
His 6ft 9in frame grabbed attention and started getting him more singles matches around 1994.
In 1995, both Mabel and Mo turned heel and his new and unique championship belt said ‘King of the
Ring’, although it was never shown on WWE TV. However, his reckless wrestling style kept getting
him into trouble and he was removed as the top heel of WWE.
As Mabel, he got involved in a high-profile feud with The Undertaker, when he helped Yokozuna
attack him. But instead of a scheduled leg drop, Mabel once again faulted and struck The Undertaker
in the face, fracturing his orbital bone. He was defeated a month later in a Casket Match by The
Undertaker himself, who came back in a Phantom of the Opera-style mask.
After being fired, Frazier came back two years later to WWE in a storyline where he was kidnapped
by The Undertaker and his Acolytes. He was then reintroduced as Viscera, with a completely new
Gothic look – bleached Mohawk, black bodysuit, white-out lenses and posing as the Ministry of
Darkness’ enforcer.
After the breakup of the Ministry, Viscera went on to win the WWF Hardcore Championship but only
for few minutes. He had a couple of feuds here and there before being released in 2000.
In his second run with the company, Viscera came back in a different gimmick. He would wrestle in
pajamas and make sexual gestures. He had a romantic angle with ring announcer Lillian Garcia as
well during this time. The character was a controversial one and during this run Viscera did not win
too often.
He would turn heel and wrestle one more time as Big Daddy V during which time he worked in ECW
before being released by WWE again.
