My favorite Viscera moment was when he rassled Big Show on Raw back in April 1999. One of the best technical matches ever. Almost as good as Savage/Steamboat

Shit wouldn't have expected him to be just 43! Remember him from waaaaay back when he was a Man on a Mission lol. Thought he'd have been like, at least 50 by now.

He does look a lot better in this video and I was going to be heading out to Tennessee to work a show with him and Mo headlining it a couple of months from now. Looks like if it still happens, it's gonna be a Memorial Show

He wasn't the greatest in the ring, but what I liked about him was every time he hit a big move it just looked devastating like a samoan drop, bossman slam or Viscera Driver. He was great for putting over new powerful babyfaces or heels, like when Cena did the AA on him. There was definitely a role in the WWE, almost like a gatekeeper role: if he won it wouldn't come off as a fluke because of his size, but a win over Viscera looks impressive especially if a power move was used against him.
Plus he seemed like a really good guy from all reports. Too bad. |

Cmon, it was amazing. He'd make that "OOOOOOOOP" sound and that plus the sight of him doing it sounded like death

![]() I met him last year in March. And was shocked at how much weight he had lost. He was in the main event which was a 6 man tag. I figured he would be tagged in hit 2 moves and get the pin. Nope he worked almost 20 minutes,then tagged in the rookie of the team and let him get the pin. After the show they did a meet and greet. He was signing for free. I mentioned watching him in Memphis and he said "You are making feel old brother." I told him I doubted he was much older than me. And he was surprised that he only was 2 years older than me. Ended up talking to him for close to 20 minutes. Found out later on he worked the show for half of his normal booking fee,mostly because he is friends with the owners. |

Also when I met Vis,my buddy Blake had come with me. Now Blake is 22 but mentally challenged. He has the mind of a 13 year old. And is a huge wrestling fan. For a month all he could talk about was getting to meet Big Daddy V. He was wondering what to bring to get autographed. I looked on Wiki and found that Vis had held the WWE hardcore title. Blake owns all the kids toy replica belts. So after the show we went into the meet and greet. I had planned ahead and brought a gold sharpie with me. Blake handed Vis the belt. "Mr Big Daddy V could you sign my belt?" Vis signed it for free. Then talked to Blake for awhile. Then I got a picture of the two of them doing the V hand sign. Blake now has that belt hanging on his wall. Just more proof to me that Vis really cared about the fans.

Can't believe a guy that weighed over 500lbs didn't live to be an old man. Shocked.
