Nelson Frazier Jr., Former WWE Star Viscera, Passes Away
Sad news to report early this Wednesday morning as Nelson Frazier Jr., better known by his WWE name’s Mabel and Viscera, passed away on Tuesday after suffering a massive heart attack.
The news was first reported by his agent Eric Simms late Tuesday night.
“I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I just got off the phone with Big Daddy V’s wife,” Simms said. “He had a massive heart attack and passed away today. He was 43 years old”

Working on and off for the WWE over a 15-year span from 1993-2008, Frazier was a massive individual who knew how to use his size to make him a very good performer in the ring. He was never the best, but he always gave 110% every time he stepped foot inside the squared circle. Fansided offers our deepest condolences to the Frazier family as they go through this very difficult time. Below you can check out a video of Frazier winning the King of the Ring in 1995.
Reaction to his passing has since been pouring in for the former WWE King of the Ring.
