I have fond memories of playing as Viscera on Smackdown 2 (time limit hardcore match) with my friends using the 4 player multitap on the PS1. Can't remember, did he have his awesome rolling kick in that one? One my all-time favorite moves. Loved spamming it in the games. |

Big Daddy V for me. Great theme, nice manager in Striker and he looked very menacing.
Mabel was okay but nothing special. Viscera always came across as a jobber and World's largest Love Machine was straight up wrestlecrap (amusing but going nowhere).

Viscera is probably my favorite but the world's largest love machine was pretty damn entertaining as well to me.

It’s a tie between Big Daddy V and Viscera right before the Worlds Largest Love Machine gimmick. Liked him as a Hired Gun.

The Viscera and Big Daddy V gimmicks showed off what a big, scary, intimidating dude he could be, but I will always have a soft spot for the World's Largest Love Machine. Up to that point, I never would've guessed he had those comedy chops, and found him genuinely entertaining.

Heel Mabel in 1995 could have been something if they'd changed up the look slightly. I know he was occasionally a little careless, but for a guy of his size he was way better than he had any right to be. Underrated big man.

I always enjoyed him springing to the turnbuckle like a cat and elbow dropping everyone in sight, you know, as he normally did in reality like 500 pound men regularly do |

1998 Mabel.
500 pounds but a stiff breeze could beat him.

Pretty much everyone in the Ministry Of Darkness was awesome to me as a teenage gothic metal head.

Side note: I remember me and a friend watching Raw in high school one night, and they were promoting Viscera vs. Mark Henry in a "Gorilla Press Slam" match. Even as 16-year olds, we were like, "Wow, that's insensitive."

Throwing in a vote for the World's Largest Love Machine for being the reason why I still break into uncontrollable giggles and have to leave the room whenever I hear Barry White.

I thought he was cool after he joined Undertaker's Ministry.
The gothic makeover was awesome, plus the name "Viscera"
And that theme, I love how subdued it was.
I remember thinking it was really creepy when it came up on Smackdown 2 KYR.

Viscera made a life long impression on me in a sup 90 second appearance in the 2000 Royal Rumble. I do love how fans always pop for a hoss showdown in the Rumble (Vis/Rikishi). The best reaction Tamina's ever gotten - by far - was when she squared up with Nia in the Rumble a couple years ago. That's one of my single favourite Rumble spots ever to this day. I love Rikishi's elimination run early in that Rumble and it was my first one I saw so I have sentimental attachment. But this one spot managed to get over both guys huge. Rikishi is kicking ass, and then the buzzer goes, and here comes Viscera. JR says 'my God, this man is even bigger than Rikishi!' The NYC crowd, who often don't like hosses especially compared to workrate guys, doesn't even pop - there is a whisper of awe spreading through the crowd as they think 'can't wait to see this.' The two of them exchange some incredibly basic moves for one minute and then Viscera is out - and both men more over with me because of it. What a great little spot. |
