- There are reports that former WWE star Nelson Frazier (Big Daddy V, Viscera, Mabel) has passed away from a heart attack at age 43.

Tommy Dreamer confirmed the news on Twitter:

"I am shocked & so sad. Mabel, Viscera, Big Daddy V (Nelson Frazier) passed away. He was a good friend. He just celebrated his 43Bday"

Former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas also confirmed the news:

"Very sad news tonight, 1 of the good guys has passed on. Nelson Fraser/Big Daddy V. RIP Big Vis! God bless!"

Not shocking due to his weight but very sad nonetheless. R.I.P. Love machine

Another wrestler passes away at a pretty young age. I remember when he, Mo, and Oscar debuted as Men on a Mission in the early 1990s. I remember they won the Tag Team titles from the Quebecers at a non televised event and dropped them back the next night. He had a decent career winning the King of The Ring and having a fued with Kevin Nash for the WWF title not long after his heel turn. Also had a decent run against The Undertaker with a Casket Match (that he lost). Evolving into V and getting a few mid card pushes here and there was not a bad WWE run. Really shocked he never got a run with a Singles title (that I can recall) too.

RIP Big Daddy V.

Sad. I grew up watching him, all from being a little kid, through the attitude era and his most recent Big Daddy V stuff. R.I.P.

Damn, first live event I went to was a smackdown in 07, i think. And he was in a main event handi-cap match with Mark Henry, against Taker. He'll be missed.

(Actually found the footage)

Like Sabre not overly shocked. But still, RIP.

He was always around, every era it seemed. He always evolved into something new, which was impressive. His memory will live on without a doubt. Wrestling in PJ's may not sound like the best thing to be remember for but damn was it great.

That spinning heel kick was awesome for a man of his size.

RIP

Man... Super sad. I was a fan of King Mabel. When I first started wrestling, King Mabel was an intriguing gimmick. Viscera was intimidating as hell! Big Daddy V was a good gimmick change for him, a breathe of fresh air. Long career, a good career. He'll be missed
