I know he wasn't the greatest worker but as a kid Big Daddy V really was a larger than life monster. There were rumors at my elementary school amongst the few wrestling fans in my class that he killed a dude by slamming his opponent on an ECW show (which came on at like 10 at night on school nights so I never watched it at the time).

@@quentinkaasa47 He's not wrong to call Mabel the worst. Personally, I think Billy Gunn was the worst, because as bad as Mabel was, at least he got a run as the top heel in the WWF and a World title shot at Summerslam. Billy Gunn was always treated as an afterthought. No coronation, no top heel run, no title shot. The Rock verbally buried him and that was that. Now with that being said, even in 1995 Mable would be seen as the worst b/c Bret won in 1993 and Owen won in 1994 just one year earlier. With Bret and Owen winning it the two years before him and then Austin winning it in 96 and HHH winning it in 97, he would be considered the worst at that time.

There's no way you'd ever convince me to allow him to drop down on me. Taker was nuts for allowing that. The way he did it, there's no way the weight and speed and the short amount of drop time was gonna be able to be done safely.

cant help but to wonder.......How King Mabel might have been at wwf champion, had he dethroned Diesel at Summerslam. And had Lex stayed, what was the plan. The LOOK of King Mabel as champion would have worked. Mabel couldnt work without hurting anyone though. I hate to say it, but well......I remember the Ministry beating his ass to initiate him into the group. I remember some of his Big Daddy V work. I remember that Diesel match, mainly him crashing down on Kevin's lower back full weight, ouch. And i remember He and Yoko doing legdrop after legdrop on Taker, injuring him on Raw. I also vaguely remember that M.O.M. had a bit of an undefeated streak going which earned them a tag title shot. I believe it was against the Headshrinkers i think......maybe Yoko and Owen. But the way they were being pushed was almost like they were going to put the belts on them. I remember the heel turn too, them throwing Oscar out the group lol. They were definitely something new. Especially Mabel.

I always wonder........had Lex actually stayed in 95....given what happened at SummerSlam, what the plans were going forward for Diesel, Lex, Mo and Mabel, HBK, Bret, Bulldog. Because they were all somewhat intertwined.

I heard in a shoot interview (God knows who it was, there are so many), that when Mabel wanted to come back during the attitude era, Vince McMahon was completely against it because he had injured so much of his top talent in 1995-1996. When Undertaker heard Mabel was trying to come back, he went to Vince and told him to give him another shot and that he should be put with him. That meant Mabel had a job to support his family again, and Taker didn't have to risk injury working with him as he was in the Ministry of Darkness lol.

well we got to see that. the interesting thing would have been seeing them go in a WWF ring, and wondering if they would actually acknowledge their history.

I wonder if Jim is jealous that there are more sets of Fellas with a Purpose than the Midnight Express, and about 900 dollars cheaper.

Fun fact: Mabel was originally supposed to be the third man in the outsiders (NWO)

I prefer the version of the NWO that only has Hogan, Beefcake and the Nasty Boys in it.

You had to feel sorry for those poor bastards that had to lug Mabel's big ass and that throne down to the ring. Matt and Jeff Hardy couldn't have enjoyed doing that every night.

Would be interested to hear Jim & Brian review or at least encounter the Major Wrestling Figure Pod. Can imagine Corny has some withering putdowns about the toy enthusiasm of poor Cardona & Myers.
