It was easy to see why Nathan Jones would attract WWE's collective eye: the dude was legitimately frightening, standing seven feet tall and possessing the strength of ten mere mortals. His in-ring skill, sadly, was nowhere near as presentable as his looming appearance.

Jones came in with a bit of fanfare earlier in 2003, but his wrestling ability was so poor that he ended up getting bumped from a WrestleMania XIX match - on the night of the show.

Jones got new life in late-2003 with Paul Heyman at his side. His appearance as part of Lesnar's Survivor Series team marked the only WWE pay-per-view match in which he was an official participant. Less than three weeks later, Jones quit the company during a tour of his native Australia, harried by the grueling travel schedule.
