He came in around the same time as Matt Morgan and the only thing I actually remember from him is that we was in a Survivor Series Elimination Match with Matt Morgan, Brock Lesnar, RVD, Big Show, Benoit, Angle. Holly and some others.
He was a big dude that I remember I thought was going to shine. Nathan Jones might have been his name.

Yep that was Nathan Jones. He was awesome. I hear he got bad homesickness when he was on tour and quit right in the middle of a tour and bought his own plane ticket home. He was also that huge guy with the bald head the fought Stone Cold in the Condemned. He is BIG! Like 6'10 330

Homesickness probably ruined a lot of big pay days for him but I guess Nathan Jones has to do whats best for Nathan Jones.

Rumor has it that he tried to contact WWE to get a job.
He also started lactating because of steroid use. So take that for what it's worth.

I believe it because when he first debuted he debuted as a protege of Biker Taker. Then he went back to developmental because he was too green. Then he came back about 6 months later with 30 lbs. of added muscle that he admitted to(not the steroid use just the muscle). You can NOT be a guy that works out your whole life(he was already jacked before adding the muscle), disappear and come back 30lbs more muscular. Since I started back up 4 years ago I may have added 20 - 25 lbs. in muscle tops. But I also had muscle memory from my work out days in highschool and college. So when I started back up I started gaining back pretty quickly but if there was a way to add 30lbs of muscle in 6 months without steroid usage I'd love to know how that works

When you start lactating you better have had given birth or you done fucked up. Wellness would have killed him off at this point so it might have been a good thing he left. And 30 lbs of anything in 6 months can't be good.

That's actually very true. Everything in life is moderation. The only thing that is ok is if you lose 30 pounds in 6 months. Even that is extremely hard to do. Putting on that much muscle weight in that time span is just not natural. You may as well do coke for 6 months

Was Jones actually a good wrestler or is the ol nolstagia factor kicking in on Steriod McDundee?

That was the only problem. He had an amazing presence but couldn't work. I mean he got better when he was in Surviver Series before he left but he had a very long way to go. He was perfect for squash matches if he worked on getting better in the ring off camera in the meantime.

I lost 12 lbs. in the last 3 months. It's definitely possible to lose 30lbs in 4 months depending on how much weight you need to lose. If you're someone that's 175lbs. trying to get down to 155lbs, it could take 4 - 6 months. However, if you are the Big Show and you are carrying around 50lbs of uneccessary water weight, you could lose 50lbs in 3 months. I saw a show about extremely obese people where this 700lbs individual was carrying 200lbs of water weight and they said if they got this person on the right diet they could have gotten 100lbs off of them in no time. It's all about ratio. I went from 198 to 186. Now the hard part is going to be getting down to 175 because I have much less weight I need to lose now which means these pounds are going to come off much slower than the first 12. My goal was 23lbs. I have 11 to go

lol, I wasn't the BigShow. I went from 216 to 186. I buggered up my knee in the summer and could barely walk for two weeks, slacked off and put 10lbs back on by the end of the year. So far this year I've dropped from 196 to 178. My target is below 12st.
