With the recent draft of Viscera to the ECW brand, don’t be surprised if you see him on television more now, as WWE has some big plans for this massively large wrestler.

WWE is going to drop his current gimmick of being “The World’s Largest Love Machine” and make him more of a One Man Gang character, which means he will be basically be a mean, bad, wrecking machine. The idea for this is to get him over as big and unstoppable in ECW, and then bring him back to RAW or SmackDown! as a monster heel that can headline main events. They recently did this with Snitsky who is scheduled to mow down undercarders for the rest of the year and feud with Cena in 2008.

Reason behind Viscera’s push is because of his massive size and unlike some of the wrestlers backstage, he doesn’t have many problems. Dave Lagana didn’t want him on the brand if he wasn’t revamped with new image because he felt the “Love Machine’ gimmick would never get over as a headliner for the company. Furthermore, Vince McMahon liked the idea of Viscera being pushed like the One Man Gang in the 80's. Plus, it's easy to convince Vince to push a monster, even it's failed a few times before, as opposed to a smaller person, even if the person has a history of past success.


Eh.. I LOVE big, bad monster characters but too many of them at once definitely dilutes their overall effectiveness.. but thank fucking god they're finally getting rid of the "World's Largest Love Machine" gimmick.. that shit got stale years ago.

Ok, this is screwed up. I've had the thought of the One Man Gang on my mind for the past two days for no apparent reason ... wtf? Creepiness aside, I think it's a decent wrestler who should be a mid-carder, not main event. Sounds fun though ... just NO MORE KINGS ... Mabel >_>

Hey, I thought Viscera had a great match with Lashley a month or so ago. Yeah, the love machine gimmick was old but, who didn't love the Trish Stratus/Big Vis segments from a couple years ago. Those were hilarious.

This is lame. It's not because Viscera is fairly decent, but WWE is so fucking retarded. They've done this over and over the last few months. First, they did this Khali. It failed. Then they did it successfully with Umaga. Then they did it again with Khali with some minor success. Now they are doing it with Snitsky. Doing it with Vis is way too repetitive. They're paying these writers to just do the same thing over and over? What a waste. It also sucks because it says "feud with Cena in 08". Great...he's still gonna be champ |I

.. No shit he's still going to be champion, he's one of the biggest merchandise movers they have and the top draw on RAW. All of these monsters are being bred so that John Cena can overcome the odds and beat them, Hulk Hogan style.

I personally don't mind, especially now after the great year Cena's been having, despite the opposition. (hell, he pulled something WATCHABLE out of Khali... o_O)

I would think that him becoming a huge draw would be a reason to take the belt off of him. Is his following going to desert him because he doesn't have the belt anymore? I doubt it. Someone else could benefit from the belt, though.

Of course, WWE won't see it that way. <_<

Big Viscera getting a push? I guess it kind of makes sense. He was supposed to get a big push like 10 years ago when he won King of the Ring, lol

And I hope to God that this is the last big guy to get pushed for at least 6 months

Exactly. Guys like Hogan, Austin, and The Rock were all still major merchandise movers even when they weren't champ. John Cena can still sell merchandise while not being champion so long as he's featured in the show. In the meantime, someone else could be champ and be built up into a second cashcow. Two > one but someone at WWE either failed math or doesn't want to take an easy risk.

Oh, and Smoking Skull belts still sold while Austin wasn't champ so the Spinner belt is safe. Speaking of that belt, does that even fit Cena's character anymore? Hell, what is his character now? He went from a thug that doesn't need anybody, to a lame babyface rapper, to a marine, to uh...whatever he is now.
