<p><a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/nathan-jones">Nathan Jones</a> had one of the most surprising movie appearances this year.</p>
<p>The Australian is a former wrestler, who is best known for his short stint in the WWE between 2002 and 2003. Nicknamed “The Colossus of Boggo Road”, Jones was given a push alongside <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/the-undertaker">The Undertaker,</a> and helped the Deadman during his match against <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/matt-bloom">A-Train</a> and <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/big-show">Big Show</a> at WrestleMania XIX.</p>
<p>Jones quit the WWE in December 2003, and has been rarely seen by wrestling fans since that day. However, he has had small parts in a number of movies, <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428923/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">including <em>Hobbs &; Shaw</em>, <em>Troy</em> and <em>Mad Max: Fury Road</em>.</a></p>
<p>Nathan Jones also appeared in the movie <em><a href="https://amzn.to/3VjDzJA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ricky Stanicky</a></em>. The film was released on <a href="https://www.comingsoon.net/hub/amazon-prime-video" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amazon Prime</a> on March 7th 2024, and features <a href="https://www.wrestlezone.com/tag/john-cena">16-time WWE Champion John Cena</a>, Zack Efron and a host of comedic talent.</p>
<p>Jones had a small role in the movie. Jones played the part of a man called “<a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428923/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Big Ben</a>“. Big Ben is looking for Cena’s character (the titular Ricky Stanicky) during part of the film. This was the first time most fans had seen the 56-year-old on screen in years, especially alongside a fellow wrestler.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-nathan-jones-left-wwe-because-of-the-rockstar-life">Nathan Jones Left WWE Because Of The ‘Rockstar Life’</h2>
<p>Nathan Jones left the WWE in 2003, and has stayed away from the company in the decades since.</p>
<p>Jones spoke to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3jB5nzRc7c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hannibal TV</a> about why he left the WWE, revealing that he did not like the lifestyle of being on the road constantly.</p>
<p>He also noted his favourite moments in the company, which included spinning heel-kicking the Big Show at WrestleMania.</p>
<p>“It was a little bit of a rockstar’s lifestyle. And I’m a home body by nature. So it just didn’t suit me at the time. That’s the way it happens.”</p>
<p>“I remember enjoying Survivor Series, it was a lot of fun. WrestleMania, remember that one? The big spinning heel-kick to the head of Big Show. I thought I’d add that in because people think I can play the giant all the time, and I thought it’d be nice to see someone jump around, and some of us big guys can go, ‘No, we can do… fly around as well.’”</p>
