Nathan Darren Jones[2] (born August 21, 1970) is an Australian actor and professional wrestler. Jones is best known for his stint with World Wrestling Entertainment, where he performed on its SmackDown brand. During his wrestling career, he became a one time world champion after winning the WWA World Heavyweight Championship once during his stint in World Wrestling All-Stars.
Before his career as a wrestler, Jones was sentenced to 16 years in Boggo Road Gaol for eight armed robberies between 1985-1987, two of which occurred in Tasmania. During the robberies, he became one of Australia's most wanted and ended up serving seven years in a maximum-security prison and one year on work release. While in prison, he was introduced to the sport of powerlifting. Within a short space of time, he became the National Powerlifting Champion of Australia.
Jones also began competing in strongman contests and during this time, he was dubbed "The Megaman" for his imposing physique. As the reigning Australia's Strongest Man, he entered the World Strength Championship at Callander, Scotland from July 29-30, 1995. He took first place, topping a field that included 1993 World's Strongest Man Gary Taylor. The following weekend, he competed in the World Musclepower Championship held at Mintlaw, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. That contest was won by Magnús Ver Magnússon, with Nathan finishing fifth in a field of twelve competitors

I didn't know abot all that prison stuff, pretty cool he's done so much crazy sh!t. I wonder how Magnus breaking his arm affected his training after that. He seemed pretty big in Troy. I remember the WSM when it happened. So funny seeing Magnerson who's like what 6'6 looking like a kid next to "megaman", awesome stuff. That wrist-twisting style is horrible to watch. Arm wrestles suck, they just mangle your ligaments and wiry guys always beat guys who can bench 500lb.

Cue Bay saying every guy who signs up for the infantry is really a homo because he pokes a long, hard, phallus-shaped object into the body of another man to his great satisfaction.

He has one MMA fight, which he lost. He was totally owned by a japanese sumo wrestler and tapped to a kimura.

Nathan = Great Athlete trained with an IFBB Pro at the beginning when fresh out of jail.

I think he competed the next year and was doing well in his heat but acting very cocky. Then in the log lift he couldn't lock out his arm which had been broken the previous year and although he got around 9 "almost" reps the judge (Dougie Edmunds) only gave him 2 or something. This meant he lost the heat and didn't progress to the final. He had an angry fit and stormed off never to compete again.

Yeah I know he bulked up a load after that, but the height difference is still striking even though Magnus is a tall bastard!
