Beyond The Mat - What Happened Next?

Tony Jones was one of the two APW wrestlers who got a chance to be showcased in front of the top WWE brass in a pretty contrived segment during the movie. After a curtain jerking dark match, Jones and Modest get some feedback from Jim Ross as well as some kind words of encouragement from Mick Foley. JR is impressed and tells the pair they did a nice job. He states that Jones needs to fill out his frame and could use some better ring gear before saying they'll look at the tape further.

The closing montage states that Tony Jones never heard from the WWE, though Bruce Prichard contests this, saying they would have at least had the decency to call to say they didn't need him at present. We are led to believe that Tony Jones simply went on working at APW and was never heard from again.

As a matter of fact, Jones did a little better than that. As well as the titles and belts he won at APW, he went on to wrestle for WWE several times albeit on their minor shows such as Heat and Jakked and always as enhancement talent. Tony Jones also wrestled extensively across the States and Japan during his career before calling it a day in 2009.
