The 6'10 320lbs freak from team sasquatch. I'm so glad he's coming back on the scene  It has been rumored for quite some time now that former WWE star Nathan Jones has signed a contract with TNA and will be debuting with the company. It's now being reported that Jones has indeed signed with TNA, and he is expected to be introduced either at the Genesis PPV in January or a short time after that. Although Jones has been signed for awhile now, his debut with TNA has been halted due to a motorcycle accident which took place while he was training for his US return. Jones was struck by a cement truck and suffered nerve damage in his arm, however is expected to recover fully and should be cleared to wrestle shortly. |

If he has some personality then fine. I can't remember much of him in WWE, I don't think I was watching when he was there.
I don't know about you guys, but I couldn't give a shit if someone was 9 foot 3 and 700 pounds. If they suck, they suck.

Nathan Jones is simply just menacing. He's got great facial expressions too. Can't say much about his mic skills because 've only seen him interviewed once and it was one of those WWE half shoot interviews where he was talking about being in Prison for 10 years(Aussie accent). Other than that he never cut a real promo. From what I remember he was a little green in the ring. But if they give him a terminator type gimmick he'd be better than someone like Vladimir Koslov. Nathan was just starting to become known in the company and he just quit because of homesickness. I guess TNA is better for him for that reason

Hay there Mate, yeah, like, I was stuck in a FACKING jail cell for Ten FACKING years. Now that I'm out, all I want to do is hart people!
If they give him a stupid Aussie gimmick, but he destroys people nonetheless, that should be cool.

Has someone told Nate that TNA does house shows on the weekends now?

I don't think I actually want to see him on the roster. He seems to be more of a Bam Neely then a Zeke.

I always thought Nathan was just so scary looking that they must be able to do something with him. He has that look that all he has to do is walk out the curtain and down the aisle with the right music and right look and his matches don't even have to be great to get over as a nasty heel. Better off TNA try something with him than bringing him back to WWE and bouncing him all over brands

How long would he last? He got home sick with WWE and TNA does 2-3 shows a week themselves. That doesn't leave a lot of time to fly back and forth from Australia.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Nathan was always one of those guys that I pulled for biasedly simply just because his presence is so awesome and if he can pull everything else together he could be a sick force. He and Morgan are no strangers from the sasquatch days. It would be interesting to see him go after Morgan first

TNA has made in painfully obvious that WWE couldn't book Matt Morgan worth shit, maybe they'll do the same with Nathan.

Yeah remember stuttering Matt Morgan? Also when Morgan came back without the stutter he actually F-5'd Big Show and started showing intensity. In TNA he has great mic skills, a good presence and you can definitely see a future main eventer in him. In WWE, he was more like a flash in the pan but had a job because of his size
