Numerous Talents React To Big Daddy V’s Passing

UPDATE: As noted earlier, Nelson Frazier, Jr., who was known as Viscera, Mabel and Big Daddy V in the WWE, has reportedly passed away at the age of 43. Frazier, who just celebrated a birthday last Friday (February 14th), is reported to have died following a heart attack.

Frazier was a good friend of mine and I had just talked to him three weeks ago. Everything seemed good and he was taking indy bookings. Frazier worked in WWE during the 1990s and mid-2000s and was a part of the Undertaker’s Ministry. He won King of the Ring as Mabel in 1995 and held the WWE Tag Team Championship with his partner Mo, as well as the Hardcore Championship. He returned to the company in 2004 and worked for it until his release in 2008.

On behalf of everyone here on the website, we send our condolences to the family, friends and fans of Mr. Frazier.

Wrestling agent Eric Simms posted the following on Facebook:
