Removed the reference to his fight in PRIDE 1 being a work. There was no source cited. Sherdog has his birthday as August 26, 1965 and his weight as 345 lbs - likely what he weighed in at for that fight. / Thorrune 01:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
This page lists Jones's height as both 6'10" and as 7', and his weight as both 340 lbs. and 360 lbs. I don't know the correct measurements, but if you do, it'd help to straighten that out.
His height and weight do seme to flucutate. But I think the strongman stats should be most realistic. And the sites on the net seme to favour the 6 ft 10 in height rathe than the slighly inflated 6 ft 11 in height. http://www.answers.com/topic/nathan-jones http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/n/nathan-jones.html http://www.nathan-jones.com/Bio.html ( Halbared 22:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC))

They exaggerate stats in strongman, too. About his weight, he says in this interview ( http://www.wrestling-news.com/nm/publish/news_1906.html ) with wwe.com in 2003 that he weighs 295-300lbs.
Oh, and where is 1969 year of birth from? He was born in 1970 as far as I know. Same month and day, though.

Don't make changes to stats without consulting the discussion page and providing references.
What is his shoe size?
Jones also partecipated as actor in the movie "the Protector" in the role of a Tony Jaa antagonist.
There is a new movie being released (Thai Comedy) called Som Tam (see youtube for trailer). Appreciate this is not on IMDB yet but should this be added to filmography?

Is this just speculation as it was on this page but has been removed? I cant find anything to substatiate this

An academic Degree in Economics is mentioned in Personal Life. This seems highly questionable, given his lifestory. Also, the source is questionable as well and no further information is given. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.217.76.179 ( talk) 18:41, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
I'm going to agree. Kudos to him if he earned one, but we should have a better ref than a comment on one pro wrestling site. BoosterBronze ( talk) 20:09, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

In this video, recorded on January 2012 and posted February 2012, Nathan tells the interviewer that he's 45-years-old. On google his DOB is listed as 1967, here it's 1969, on Sherdog it's 1965. If he was born on August 21st, this would actually indicate that he was born in 1966. I'll leave it to other people to figure out which one it is, but 1969 is definitely not correct unless he decided to claim to the interview that he's older than he is for no apparent reason. 100.35.112.60 ( talk) 17:14, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
I remember as a young teen my much older cousin who also spent time at Boggo, told me a story about Nathan Jones how he used to kick his cell door off its hindges and roamed freely within the gaol. My older brother escaped from there also back in the day, I heard it wasn’t too hard to escape back then lol probably one of the many reasons it closed down heard a few stories about it, Nathan’s being the most memorable as his weight lifting belt being the same height as me at the time. P.s. it’s weird writing gaol, to me it’s normally spelt Jail. 172.193.202.184 ( talk) 13:21, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
