#3 Nathan Jones

"The Colossus of Boggo Road" Nathan Jones

Standing six feet 11 inches tall and weighing around 330 Ibs, the "Colossus of Boggo Road" Nathan Jones was expected to be a mega star in WWE. Jones was infamous for his real life conviction for eight armed robberies in the mid 1980s and was renowned as one of the most dangerous criminals in his homeland of Australia.

Jones spent seven years in a maximum security prison between the ages of 18 and 25 and WWE sought to capitalise on his notoriety by airing vignettes with old news footage of his arrest inter-spliced with sadistic ramblings from the man, who was originally meant to be a Hannibal Lecter style psychopathic character.

However, to their disappointment, WWE found Jones had no charisma and no clue how to wrestle. Forced to change course, Jones was instead introduced as an old buddy of The Undertaker. That storyline was risible. Worse still, Jones was supposed to partner 'Taker at Wrestlemania 19 in a bout with Bigshow and A-Train.

However, Jones was so inept, that WWE could not risk putting him in the ring at all and were forced to withdraw him from the bout on the pre-show.

The Aussie then disappeared from television until later in 2003, when he hung around for a few months before leaving the company entirely.

The "Colossus of Boggo Road" was a "colossal disaster."
