Ted DiBiase Jr.


Theodore Marvin DiBiase, Jr. was born November 8, 1982. He is an American professional wrestler currently signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), where he appears on its Raw brand, and its Florida Championship Wrestling developmental territory. He is currently one-half of the World Tag Team Wrestling Champions with Cody Rhodes.

Ted Jr. is a third generation professional wrestler. His step-grandfather "Iron" Mike DiBiase, grandmother Helen Hild, and father "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase have been professional wrestlers.

DiBiase grew up in Clinton, Mississippi, and attended Morrison Heights Baptist Church. Teddy, as he was known at Clinton, would graduate from Clinton High School in 2001. At Clinton, DiBiase was the football team's starting quarterback. He enrolled at Mississippi College in Clinton, and was a starting wide receiver for Mississippi College's football team before leaving the squad following his freshman season. He graduated in 2005 with a Bachelor's in Science and Business Administration.

After considering a career in the ministry, DiBiase and his older brother, Mike DiBiase II, decided to follow the path of their father and enter the wrestling business. Both brothers received training at the Harley Race's Wrestling Academy.

DiBiase and Mike made their professional debut on July 8, 2006 for World League Wrestling (WLW), a wrestling academy run by former world champion wrestler and WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race, in Eldon, Missouri. DiBiase also wrestled in Japan for Pro Wrestling NOAH.

On July 24, 2007, Race announced that DiBiase had signed a developmental deal with the WWE, and that he would be training at their Florida Championship Wrestling Training Ground.

On December 18, 2007, DiBiase defeated TJ Wilson to win the FCW Southern Heavyweight Championship in New Port Richey, Florida. DiBiase was however, unable to defend it due to injury, so he awarded the Championship to his partner Heath Miller in New Port Richey, Florida on January 19.

DiBiase made his WWE television debut as a heel on May 26, 2008, where he cut a promo about his intent to become a champion like his father, Ted DiBiase, challenging the World Tag Team Champions, Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly. At Night of Champions, DiBiase won the World Tag Team Championship in his first match in WWE, after Rhodes turned on Holly, revealing himself to be DiBiase's partner.

Nelson Frazier, Jr. / Big Daddy V / King Mabel / Mabel / Nelson Knight / Viscera


Nelson Frazier, Jr. (born February 14, 1972) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring names Mabel and Viscera. He is currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment wrestling on its ECW brand under the ring name Big Daddy V.

Throughout his career he has held championships in a number of promotions, including the top titles of the United States Wrestling Association off-shoots Memphis Wrestling and Memphis Championship Wrestling, and the World Wrestling Council promotion of Puerto Rico. He's also held the Hardcore and World Tag Team titles of World Wrestling Entertainment, the company where he's spent the bulk of his career.

Frazier began his professional wrestling career under the ring name Nelson Knight, comprising the team The Harlem Knights with his partner and kayfabe brother Bobby. The team wrestled in the United States Wrestling Association and the Pro Wrestling Federation (PWF), winning the PWF Tag Team Championship on two occasions, before being signed by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in July of 1993.

Upon coming to the WWF the Harlem Knights went through a gimmick change. Nelson (Frazier) became Mabel, while his "brother" became Mo, and they were given a rapping manager named Oscar. Together the new team, dubbed Men on a Mission, was introduced to the WWF audience through vignettes, which was fairly standard practice at the time, that attempted to get the team across as three African American men trying to make a positive change in inner city neighborhoods — hence the team name. The group, constantly clad in purple, debuted as solid faces, in the tag team division, and held the Tag Team Championship once, but only for two days.

In 1995 Mabel and Mo turned on and attacked Oscar, becoming heels. As a heel, Mabel began wrestling more as a singles wrestler and was pushed to a win of the King of the Ring tournament in May, with Mo acting as a manager.

Now King of the Ring, Mabel was addressed as King Mabel, with Mo similarly having his name changed to Sir Mo for his full time role as manager. Distinctly enough, during his tenure as King of the Ring, Mabel had a championship belt designed and created by belt creator Reggie Parks proclaiming the wearer to be "King of the Ring". As the World Wrestling Federation has never created a belt for the King of the Ring winner, Mabel's belt is one of a kind. For becoming "King", Mabel received the (then-) traditional WWF Championship match at August's SummerSlam, but did not get the title. Following that loss, he became involved in the Yokozuna versus the Undertaker feud, taking turns dropping legs across the Undertaker's face with Yokozuna until they (kayfabe) fractured his orbital bone following a match. Two months later, the Undertaker defeated King Mabel in a Casket match at the December 1995 In Your House: Season's Beatings pay-per-view in what turned out to be the last major event appearance for Mabel (and Mo) in the World Wrestling Federation for two years.

For December of 1995 and the first part of January 1996, Mabel took dual bookings with the World Wrestling Federation and the Puerto Rico based World Wrestling Council. In WWC, he engaged in a feud with Carly Colon, during which the Universal Heavyweight Championship was "held up" following a match between the two of them before Mabel won the championship and held it for a month.

He was released from the WWF in early 1996 and spent much the next two years in Tennessee wrestling for the United States Wrestling Association, which went through a number of changes during his stay to become Memphis Championship Wrestling and Memphis Wrestling. While there, he captured the top title twice.
