Condolences to his family and friends. Will never forget his run as King Mabel and also the time he broke The Undertaker's face with a leg drop.

I remember being a kid and being a fan him & Mo as one of the first hip hop inspired groups Men on a Mission. My favorite character had to be his last in the ECW, Big Daddy V.

Wow, I can't believe how young he was during his initial run.

Solid worker for how big he was and pretty cool how he stayed relevant for so long. Had no idea he was that young. I remember when he won KOTR in '95 as a member of Men on a Mission. I was a big fan as a kid. I remember seeing him in an interview that came out maybe a year ago and it looked like he slimmed down but I guess it wasn't enough. Very sad. I hope WWE acknowledges his passing before the PPV or something. He's been a relevant face in WWE for the last ~20 years.

RIP and thanks for the memories.

That's sad :( . It's good that big men like him, andre, show and others can get careers despite their large stature, yet go early because of how big they are. RIP to a fan favorite.

Terrible news. Men on a Mission was a really fun team during a time when WWE was really struggling.

I completely forgot that was the reason for the masked Undertaker.

:(

Awful to hear, I was a big fan of his. I was always impressed when he would pull off a spinning heel kick, he did it somewhat regularly during his Viscera run. RIP.

I will always remember King Mabel with Sir Moe. His run in the ministry was solid too. RIP to another strong big man that could work.

I liked this match.

The '95 casket match vs Taker, then the singles match he had with Taker as Big Daddy V where Taker debuted Hells gate are two others.

Most of any tag matches with Mo in MOM and then with Mideon in the Ministry are solid also. I thought that as a tag team wrestler he was usually at his best.

I also really liked the 2007 traditional survivor series match he was a part of, though I'm going off memory and don't remember how much involvement he had in it.
