Not long after I found TNA in 2004, Abyss and Father James Mitchell introduced me to the more outright violent side of wrestling through Barbed Wire Massacres and the like. Still, his lifeless white eyes were nightmare-inducing for young fans.
Thanks to less than stellar in-ring work, his initial run as Viscera may have only included a hardcore title as a singles wrestler and body splashing Mae Young. Now in a trance thanks to ‘Taker, Mable was reintroduced as Viscera. They found it in the former Mabel.Īfter making several eliminations during the 1999 Royal Rumble, Mabel was eliminated by The Acolytes and Mideon, who kidnapped him and brought him to The Undertaker. With The Undertaker’s Ministry of Darkness faction forming, they needed an enforcer.
