Nathan Jones was arguably the greenest Superstar to ever appear on WWE programming without the use of paint or hair dye. Yes, it was a case of too much of everything for the big Australian who despite having one of the better back stories belonging WWE Superstar didn't have anything going for him outside of his look.

During the mid-1980s, Jones was involved in a number of armed robberies and at one point was reportedly considered one of the most wanted men in the land down under. He would legitimately spend time in a maximum security prison.

Despite being a real life bad man, Jones couldn't wrestle which isn't the best shortcoming to have when you work for the biggest wrestling company in the world. Vince McMahon however, loved Jones' bigness and sweatiness so much he decided to place The Colossus of Boggo Road under the learning tree of The Undertaker.

Not even Taker's rub could get 6 ft 11, 335 pound Nathan over as fans quickly saw that he wasn't developing whatsoever. Vince would notice this and eventually fall out of love with an incredible physique a matter of weeks before WrestleMania XIX. Big TALENTED sweaty men in Taker, Big Show and A-Train were scheduled to do battle along with Jones in a tag match before Vince got cold feet and changed it to a handicap match with Booger Red the man at a disadvantage due to Nathan's shortcomings.

How many times does size and sweat give Vince McMahon the most blinkering of rose tinted glasses before it all comes crashing down?
