10 WWE Stars Who Were Fired Multiple Times
WWE just couldn't stop firing these former stars
4. Viscera
Vince McMahon wanted to fire Nelson Frazier Jr. – then going by ‘King Mabel’ – after he almost paralysed Kevin ‘Diesel’ Nash with a dangerous move to Big Daddy Cool’s back.
Nash went to bat for the superheavyweight, however, saving his job. For another four-or-so months, anyway, because Mabel was eventually fired in early 1996 for continually injuring his co-workers.
He was brought back at the beginning of 1999 and managed to avoid breaking anyone’s spine for a solid year-and-a-half before he was dismissed for a second time.
While no specific reason was reported at the time, Jim Ross (who was the acting head of talent relations back then) has suggested that Viscera’s ballooning weight was becoming an issue. Much like Yokozuna before him, it was getting to the point where it was hard for Frazier to pass the physicals required for him to perform in certain states.
His third and final WWE run was his most sustained, as he transformed first into the World’s Largest Love Machine and then the intimidating Big Daddy V.
He lasted until August 8, 2008, when WWE again washed their hands of him after his repeated failure to shed some excess pounds.
