10 Wrestlers WWE Immediately Regretted Hiring
10. Nathan Jones
At 6'11" and a ripped 320 lbs, it's easy to see why Vince McMahon would look at Nathan Jones and instantly begin to imagine the Scrooge McDuck levels of money he could make from the Australian.
So impressed with Jones was McMahon, the rookie was fast-tracked into The Undertaker's WrestleMania XIX programme, only for those 'Mania plans of Undertaker and Jones vs. Big Show and A-Train to be changed almost as quickly as they were first made.
Not only was Jones - who had only been wrestling for just over a year by the time he'd signed with WWE in late-2002 - painfully green in-ring, but he initially wasn't even allowed to work in the United States upon first signing with the company. That was due to a visa issue caused by the previous criminal activity of The Beast of Boggo Road.
Once the hulking Nathan Jones did get cleared to compete in the US, it soon became apparent that he was nowhere near ready to be on the WWE main roster - let alone to be tagging with The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
Jones made a brief appearance at the Showcase of the Immortals, but he'd soon be sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling to hone his skills. Said skills were never actually to be honed, however, and Jones would quit WWE later that year.
