10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 19 Facts
7. Nathan Jones Was Pulled From His Match For Being Far Too Green
The Australian monstrosity clearly had a look that would cause Vince McMahon to need new bedsheets, and was lured away from World Wrestling All-Stars in late-2002. The problem with Jones was one a lot of imposing leviathans had: their work left a lot to be desired. In spite of a series of chilling vignettes that played on Jones' legitimate criminal past, the powerhouse was relegated to playing a hapless fool that couldn't grasp the fundamentals of wrestling.
When Jones was paired with The Undertaker for a WrestleMania match against Big Show and A-Train, the quartet apparently practiced for a week in a ring at Undertaker's home, and they still couldn't get Jones to the point of being presentable. They did an injury angle on the pre-show to remove Jones from the bout, turning it into a handicap match, where Jones at least played a part in the finish.
