Nelson Frazier, Jr.

From Freepedia

Nelson Frazier, Jr., better known by his stage name of Viscera, is an American professional wrestler currently performing on World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW brand. His current nickname refers to the soft internal organs of the body. He was recognized by wrestling fans by the black, body-length bodysuit he wore to the wrestling ring, his distinct mohawk haircut and demonic facial expressions. During the summer of 2005, Viscera changed his ring attire (now wearing, what WWE commentators refer to as "Pajamas") and actively began losing weight, his weight stat on his WWE.com profile even began to make a constant decline. Viscera is still a very large, rotund man but now looks lighter than in the past.

Career

Frazier first appeared prominently in the WWF (now the WWE) as Mabel, a member of the tag team Men on a Mission. Originally a face, duo, they were often often overlooked in the tag team division. The pair managed to win the titles away from the Quebecers, but lost them back in a rematch two days later. Frazier and partner Mo eventually turned heel after losing a match to team team champions The Smoking Gunns. Men on a Mission attacked their former friends after the match and even turned on their own manager, Oscar, when he tried to stop the attack. The team continued to enjoy marginal success, but was unable to regain the titles. Mabel began to compete primarily in singles matches, winning the 1995 King of the Ring tournament. He then began feuding with The Undertaker, stealing the Undertaker's urn from him.

Frazier was released from the company, but made a return as the new enforcer for Vince McMahon and McMahon's faction, The Corporation. His alliance with McMahon was short-lived, however, as he was kidnapped by The Undertaker and "brainwashed" into joining the Undertaker's Ministry of Darkness faction. Renamed Viscera, he adopted a gothic gimmick, complete with demonic contact lenses. After Undertaker's faction disbanded, Frazier remained in the WWF with the Viscera character for a short while, feuding at one stage with Mark Henry before being released yet again.

Frazier would work maily for Memphis Wrestling as King Mabel - hinting several times on their programming that he would return to WWE - before finally returning in late 2004, reprising the Viscera gimmick and being brought in as part of an storyline between the Undertaker and JBL. After losing to the Undertaker on an edition of WWE's SmackDown! program, WWE transferred Frazier onto RAW, where he gained a spot in the 2005 Royal Rumble. In April 2005, Frazier aligned himself with Trish Stratus and began a feud with Kane. On May 1, 2005 at Backlash, he was defeated by Kane, who had Trish's rival Lita in his corner. After the match, Frazier splashed Trish when she berated him for losing.

With Trish injured, Frazier turned his attentions to RAW's ring announcer Lillian Garcia, who he repeatedly tried to seduce while eating nachos. Frazier was eventually successful, winning the affections of Garcia, and his amorous nature led to RAW commentators Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler dubbing him "the 500 pound love machine." But at WWE Vengeance, when Lillian proposed to Big Vis, The Godfather made his surprising return and asked Vis if he wanted to climb aboard the "ho train". Viscera replied "all aboard the ho train!" and left with the Godfather and the hos, leaving a crying Lilian Garcia behind in the ring. He would then go on to briefly feud with Tyson Tomko and The Heart Throbs. Recently, Frazier teamed up with another "Ladies Man", Val Venis. The new team made an impact and was pretty popular. In HEAT, they squashed a number of other tag teams. A few weeks later, they defeated World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch by DQ on the brand's top show, RAW, and two weeks after that the team once again beat the champions by pin fall on HEAT. It is a question whether the team will get a future title shot or not.
