    Closer to 20 I'd say... But I'd say he's refering to the wrestler... who I'd never heard of until I googled it. :)

    Wasn't he really a notorious robber in Australia though?

    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. [6] 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.

    Interesting story, but have never heard of the guy. Certainly not a house-hold name in Oz.

    His big story in the Bin was when he knocked out 6 overweight screws when they tried to do routine room clean out on him.

    He wrote in his book he was that pumped on roids he could have pulled the doors off the cell.

    He was in a Jackie Chan movie from memory and wrestled for a short time in the WWE before getting home sick and over the travel those guys have to do. 340 days on the road was not his cup of tea.

    Probably not the ideal size to be an armed robber. You tend to stand out at 6 foot 10! Best of luck to the bloke for turning his life around.
