4. Nathan Jones

At six feet ten and well over 300 lbs, Nathan Jones was another prototypical Vince McMahon dream wrestler. Unfortunately, he was missing the main skill that is pretty paramount in the wrestling business... that being the wrestling part.

Despite his limitations in the ring, Jones already had World Heavyweight Championship credentials prior to his WWE debut, with a five day run as WWA Champion in 2002. As such, Jones was given a chance by McMahon and the towering Aussie made his debut in 2003.

Jones also had a legitimately imposing past, stemming from his seven years served in a maximum security prison for armed robbery. The Aussie had also gained the nickname 'The Front Row' (a rugby reference) due to his monstrous size and strength. Furthermore, Jones had several strongman accolades on his record, including two appearances in the World's Strongest Man competition.

Sadly, none of this made an ounce of difference to his wrestling career; a fact proven when he was unceremoniously pulled from his WrestleMania tag match with The Undertaker on the day of the show. Jones vanished from TV thereafter, only to reappear months later as part of Brock Lesnar's Survivor Series team. Despite his association with 'The Beast', 'The Colossus of Boggo Road' was gone a month later.
