Former WWE Star Nelson Frazier (Big Daddy V) Passes Away

- Start date
He always seemed like a fun loving guy. We lost a good man. Left us too soon.
I was very much a fan of him when he was Big Daddy V. Probably my favorite incarnation of his career. It's crazy that hardly anyone knows he's a former King of the Ring. He has something in common with Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Triple H, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Though the weight had to catch up to him eventually. No one ever lives long in his condition. And I really don't mean that to sound condescending at all, because his size was the reason WWE kept bringing him back. He made a very effective monster role. It's just unfortunate that he didn't elect to get surgery when his career started winding down. He probably held on to that image while thinking his big break was right around the corner like Mark Henry's was late in his career. Sure gonna miss the guy.

Was never a big fan of the guy, but I also never had anything against him. He played his parts exactly as he should have from Mabel to Viscera to Big Daddy V. Dude had a long ass career and was decently over throughout even though he never really got a push outside of '93-'94.
Pretty much the same. This is sad even more so when you consider how young he was. RIP.
I was just reading up on him last night, sort of a trip down memory lane thing, then I log on Facebook this morning and this is the first headline I see under what's trending. Mabel was before my time, as was the Ministry of Darkness Viscera, I was watching during the "World's Largest Love Machine" and Big Daddy V days and enjoyed both gimmicks for what they were. Dude was huge and that's what made him so effective, but unfortunately his size also spelled his end, and sadly another name joins the list of wrestlers that died young, the list of wrestlers that died due to a heart related ailment, and the list of wrestlers from the Attitude Era that are now gone. Rest in peace, big guy.
P.S. Let us find solace in the fact that he wasn't a case of someone being, "found dead".

RIP.
Always liked his spinning heel kick he could pull off. Not much of a worker outside that though but like others have said he was always a reliable monster. Hope he's got some lines drawn out on a sports car up there in heaven. He's earned it.

Apologies for the wall of text but fuck that bitch for saying the bolded part. I understand she's grieving and everything and has every right to be pissed off that the WWE hasn't reached out to her with their condolences but for her to say they caused his death is disgusting. Pretty sure they didn't turn / make him into a morbidly obese individual which was obviously his downfall.
LOUD NOISES!!!!
Entertainment industry is like prostitution, hoes are only useful when they make money, stop being useful? Pimp gon find himself some knew hoes.
That being Viscera was already 500 lbs when he was signed way back around 94ish. He was sent to fat farms numerous times during his WWE runs. Are we going to blame Lorne Michaels for all the comedians and writers who died from SNL?
