"Believe me, Viscera isn't the best-looking guy in the world, but he's a 500 pound, 6-foot-7 black guy with a blonde mohawk."

There have been many scary-looking pro-wrestlers in the WWE, but none have been as scary looking as Nelson Frazier Jr., aka Big Daddy aka Viscera. He was a giant of a man, whom you wouldn't want to encounter in a dark alley alone -- no you certainly wouldn't want that.
Though you had little reason to worry. Nelson Frazier Jr. was a family man who had joined pro wrestling as a means to have a good life. He wasn't called "World's Largest Love Machine" without a reason.
Like we said Viscera was big -- but how big really. Actually, he was one of the biggest pro-wresters of all-time -- mass wise at least. He weighed north of 500 lb (227 kg) in his prime.
Where height is concerned, Big Daddy was just shy of a couple of inches to be included in the elite giant club of WWE, whose exalted members include wrestlers no less than The Undertaker (6'7½" in his prime), Kane (6'8"), Big Show (7" in his prime), The Great Khali (7'1"), Andre the Giant (7"), and the biggest of them all -- Giant Gonzalez (7'6").
WWE has listed Mr. Frazier's height at 6-feet-9 inches. Though after carefully looking at Mr. Frazier and comparing his height to a number of other wrestlers like Mark Henry (6'2"), Kane (6'8"), Big Show (7" in his prime), etc, we think Mr. Frazier looked even taller due to his mass.
WWE inflates the height of its wrestlers -- not as much as it used to do in the old era... but Mr. Frazier belonged to the old era. We think WWE might have increased the height of Mr. Fraizer by a bit more than two inches. We think Braun Strowman would be Nelson Frazier's height twin.
The real height of Viscera is
6'6½" or 200 cm

| Big Daddy with the world's strongest man Mark Henry (6'2") and a prime Big Show, who was 7 feet tall in his prime |

| Big Daddy with John Cena (6'½") and a masked Kane (6'8"), who looked no less than a demigod in his prime. |

| Big Daddy with The Undertaker (6'7½"), and Brock Lesnar (6'2") |

"I would have to say being the first to pin The Undertaker clean on a pay-per-view was pretty big. It once took twenty guys to put him in a casket, but I pinned him by myself, and that was the thrill of a lifetime."
