Hey,
How's it going all my fellow WF'ers? For this next installment of "Blast From The Past", I am going to feature long-time mid-carder/jobber S.D. (Special Delivery) Jones.
Way back in the early 80's, S.D. Jones was a mid-card babyface in the World Wrestling Federation and would give most of the heels at the time a rough go, but would lose in the end.
Here's a clip of S.D. Jones in action against Steve Lombardi:
Another clip of S.D. taking on the late, great Dino Bravo:
Not every match he wrestled in ended up in a loss. On some smaller cards, he did end up scoring a few victories over the likes of WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz and Ron Shaw.
He also teamed up with WWE Hall of Famer "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas on occasion and even wrestled against Mr. Fuji and Mr. Saito for the WWF World Tag-Team titles.
Here are a bunch of clips of S.D. Jones in tag-team action with various partners.
Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff vs. S.D. Jones and Brad Rheingans
Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff vs. S.D. Jones and Jim Powers
Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff vs. S.D. Jones and Aldo Marino
Power & Glory vs. S.D. Jones and J.D. Wolff
Demolition vs. S.D. Jones and Outback Jack
Special Delivery Jones was also the tag-team partner of Andre the Giant in the infamous hair-cut episode.
Ken Patera & Big John Studd vs. S.D. Jones and Andre the Giant
Demolition vs. S.D. Jones and Paul Roma
"The Giant" John Studd & King Kong Bundy vs. Corporal Kirchner and S.D. Jones
S.D. Jones was also one of the many participants in this classic Battle Royal from 1982.
The New Dream Team vs. S.D. Jones and Rick Gantner
The Hart Foundation vs. S.D. Jones and Sivi Afi
S.D. Jones and Curt Hennig vs. Killer Khan and George "The Animal" Steele
The Hangman, Johnny Rodz and Larry Sharpe vs. S.D. Jones, Rick Martel and Tony Garea
Now, here is a rare clip of an old Toyota commercial featuring S.D. Jones
S.D. Jones also had not one, but two WWF LJN action figures. One in a red shirt and the other in the more traditional yellow Hawaiian shirt.
Here is the poster that came with his LJN action figure.
Some nice fan out there also created a custom S.D. Jones Titan-Tron with this clip.
In 2006, Special Delivery Jones had the honor of inducting his long-time friend and tag-team partner, "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas into the WWE Hall of Fame.
As with the "Blast From The Past" which featured Joey Marella, unfortuantely I have to end this one on a sad note as well.
S.D. Jones, real name Conrad Efraim, sadly passed away on October 26th, 2008 in Antigua following a stroke he had suffered two days earlier.
Here is a tribute video.
And there you have it. Another "Blast From The Past" in the books. Feel free to share your thoughts/memories on S.D. Jones right here. Thanks.
