  • On Ring of The Hawk sometimes we listen to the fans and other times we don't, this is an example of we do. It's Big Daddy V AKA Viscera, AKA Mabel who is the heaviest man to come on the show so far. Surprisingly he spent most of his time either ECW or competing against The Undertaker and Kane.

    V was a weird one. He had some really clean moves that worked well sometimes, but then other times, his giant mass of flesh got in the way of doing anything good. He's one of the few guys I've seen who could pull off a good belly to belly one match, then completely botch it the next. I honestly think his weight was a big factor in his struggle to be a solid wrestler.

    Ministry Vis was my favourite gimmick of his (and also the one that terrified me the most as a kid). I don't know why he never featured in any of the Blade Movies, even the Matrix Trilogy. He really had that dark/goth look down pat, much better than HHH in any case.
    Although he wasn't the safest worker, his moves had incredible impact and how can we ever forget that spin kick? That was quite impressive for a man his size, let alone anyone. Though the "Love Machine" and "King Mabel" gimmick were fun, I always believed that a more serious gimmick suited him best. His last run wasn't his best imho.

    Great stuff here, I am sure this video piece is way better than any of the actual matches tbh. I was surprised this run lasted longer than I remembered. I was there for Armageddon 2007 oof

    I don’t remember the Survivor Series match but as soon as you said it was four against two and Triple H was one of the two, I knew who the winners were.
