Cassandra Frazier, the wife of Nelson Frazier Jr. (Viscera, Mabel, Big Daddy V) filed a wrongful death lawsuit on 2/18 in Circuit Court in Memphis against the WWE.

In the lawsuit, Frazier claims that her husband's death at 43 was the result of long-term consquences of multiple concussions and serious injuries during her husband's 15 year WWE career.

Frazier did some wrestling over the course of 22 years, and had at least one WWE match in 12 of those years.

She claimed Frazier suffered repetitive serious head injuries, brain trauma, concussions and other serious injuires and evetually a heart attack that cost him his life.

The lawsuit is similar to that of Vito LoGrasso and William (Billy Jack) Haynes III, including using Konstantine Kyros of Hingam, MA as a lawyer. In this one, it lists 406 Frazier matches in WWE and claims in every one, "Upon information and belief he sustained head and other long-term injuries by participating in this event."

Cassandra Frazier claimed her husband suffered symptoms of consussions, sub-concussions, CTE, disfiguring scar tissue, head trauma, confusion, disorientation, short-term memory loss, difficulty performing basic tasks, severe migraines and sever depression, along with other serious complications.

I'm not an expert or anything, but this seems quite frivolous. Didn't he die of a heart attack? What does that have to to with CTE?

And how does she intend to prove anything if the body has been cremated, so that the brain can't be examined?

Honestly I think it's just someone trying to get money out of wwe

Yep. A bitter pissed mother fucker lookin' to collect a few several dollars. I'm sorry and in all due intended respect-the Motha fucker was severely obese and died of a heart attack. I don't even know of him being in that many damaging matches like that anyways. Sure the attitude era was nuts and gimmick matches ran rampant, but come on.
