What REALLY Happened To WWE's 16 Tallest Wrestlers Ever?
12. Nathan Jones (6'10)
Known For: Being the 'Colossus Of Boggo Road', what else? Nathan Jones is remembered for being one of the biggest busts in WWE. The promotion had high, high hopes Jones become a full-time phenom after signing him to a deal in 2002, but he'd never really get going before leaving in late-2003.
His biggest grappling claim to fame? Running in to help The Undertaker following the icon's handicap match win over Big Show and A-Train at WrestleMania XIX. Nath had been taken out of a proposed tag match because WWE chiefs reasoned he wasn't ready for such a lofty spot. Ouch.
What Happened To Him: Jones hated the rigorous travel schedule WWE kept. A huge man (6'10 and built like the side of a building), the Australian just flat out didn't like touring around the place doing live events, TV and pay-per-view. It was too much for him, so he decided to call it quits and only wrestled on his own terms over the next few years.
Jones has gone on to carve out a nice career for himself in Hollywood by appearing as a standard heavy/bodyguard/henchman/intimidating monster character in countless movies. He's been in flicks like Troy, Mad Max: Fury Road, Hobbs & Shaw, Mortal Kombat, Ricky Stanicky and more. He clearly counts the latter John Cena comedy film as his finest hour.
Clearly.
Nathan has been able to share screen time with top stars such as Tom Hardy, The Rock, Jason Statham, Brad Pitt and more over the years. He's a definite 'what if?' from WWE lore, but it's doubtful Jones thinks he made the wrong decision to walk when he did.
