The following biography
is from
Wikipedia.org
“The
Free Encyclopedia.”
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,
Frazier eventually turned heel after winning the 1995 King of the Ring
tournament and 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 on the independent circuit for a
while before making his return to WWE in 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 500lb 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.
