20 Worst WWE Wrestlers Since 2000
5. Nathan Jones
You can't talk about failed wrestling giants without bringing Nathan Jones' name up. Standing at an impressive 6'10", and tipping the scales at 335lbs, 'The Colossus Of Boggo Road' had the size, look, and background down. A former world strongman champion and mixed martial arts competitor, Jones entered professional wrestling in 2001, and signed with WWE two years later, with the company exploiting his legitimate criminal record to put him over as a quasi Hannibal Lecter.
This character was quickly abandoned, and Jones was introduced as The Undertaker's protege instead. Aligning with one of the company's biggest stars should've given him a rub, but alas, Nathan was terrible. He barely lasted a month before WWE sent him down to Ohio Valley Wrestling, though he was eventually brought back with another light convict gimmick.
It was immediately clear that the developmental stint wasn't successful. Jones was the same discombobulated mess as before, and while he was adept good at conveying intensity, he was always let down by lacklustre ring work. The experiment ended with his resignation in December 2003, and Nathan retired soon after.
