Hercule

More sad news of a wrestler dieing young(er then people should be dieing) - this time it's reported that Viscera has passed on from heart attack - apparently just a few days after turning 43 :

Must've watched this the whole way through 100s of times.

RIP.

That sucks.

One of the most impressive big men in the ring, his spinning heel kick was awesome. RIP

Omackeral

The only man to win a championship by legit falling on an opponent that couldn't kick out.

RIP

43 is NO age to go!

He was a BEAST, great preformer no matter what was given to him. And will be remembered fondly!

Charisteas

Sad news, RIP.

Sad to hear, I liked Big Vis, but he was fired for weight issues and he should have taken that on board. 43 is too young for a man to die. As harsh as it sounds, I'd imagine there are some in WWE who are relieved this happened outside of their watch.

Or annoyed that they can't produce Big Daddy VI

He was much younger than I thought he was.

RIP.

Same here. He would've been in his mid to late twenties when I knew him ad Viscera.

Another one taken too early.


R.I.P


It's one of the times I heard a rumour come to fruition. The dirt sheets were saying when he got drafted to ECW he was going to be repackaged akin to One Man Gang.

Was scratching my head but when he arrived as Big Daddy V I thought it was class. The Love Machine gimmick didn't do anything for me at all but his ECW run was definitely in my top 3 "monsters" in wrestling.


Might be a tad bit insensitive but on the weight thing. When I see somebody that big I think of their skeleton. You never see a big skeleton. Can you imagine BDV build on his skeleton. It's mental.

Sin Eater

That's sad news.

Have to say, I hated Mable /Men On A Mission gimmick, but once he turned into Viscera became a fan.

WWE/F never quite managed to use him to his potential.

gimmick

Surprised also to hear he was only 43.

As nasty as it sounds, if you carry that sort of weight, your heart does not stand a chance.

Sad news.

I'm not his biggest fan but another huge loss in the wrestling world
RIP big guy!

Really?

That's mad considering the amount of money they have spent down the years sending druggies to rehab.

To echo what others have said, hard to believe he was as young as he was, only 8 years older than I am.

gnfnrhead

Like others, I thought he was at least 10 years older than that. Seemed like he was around forever.

RIP.

campo

This is very sad and what is ever sadder is I taught he had already died, another one gone too young RIP Big V

Chagan

RIP. 43 is no age to be dying at.

JP Liz V1

RIP

Mr.Nice Guy

Ah this sucks. He provided a lot of funny moments with his gimmick as the world's largest love machine.

I think this is my favourite moment of his:

Another wrestler gone far too soon.

Tinie

He was seriously carrying a dangerous amount of weight. It was inevitable he would get a heart attack sooner or later... unfortunately for him it proved fatal.
