Conrad Efraim (born in Antigua, West Indies ) is a former Professional Wrestler best known as '''Special Delivery Jones''' from his time in the WWF . CAREER Before becoming a wrestler, Efriam worked at a telephone company. While there, he began training under Johnny Rodz in the sport of professional wrestling. Upon completion of his training, he quit his job and began working for NWA Mid-Atlantic under the name Roosevelt Jones in a Tag Team with his partner and Kayfabe cousin Rufus R. Jones . While there, they had a memorable Feud with the Anderson family ( Ole and Gene ). In 1975, after leaving the Mid-Atlantic area for California , Jones won his first of three Tag Team Titles (first with Porkchop Cash, then with Tom Jones). Jones also made appearances in the WWF off and on in conjunction with these other promotions. Around 1980 , Gorilla Monsoon recommended to WWF folks that they bring back Jones. Jones resumed his role in the WWF as a mid-card babyface who would give the heels a hard time but end up losing. He did however win quite a few matches on b-cards against lower card or fellow mid carders like Ron Shaw and Johnny Rodz. In addition he may have been put over a few times when a heel was leaving the territory. SD Jones was often featured in tag team matches partnered with Tony Atlas . On one occasion the two ended up as the final two men in a battle royal and flipped a coin to decide the winner as seen on the WWF Coliseum Video 'Best of the WWF Voume 4' and 'Grand Slams' video cassettes. He was also the tag team partner of André The Giant in the famous match that André's head was shaved by Ken Patera & Big John Studd . At WrestleMania I , he famously lost to King Kong Bundy in less than a minute (the ''official'' match time is nine seconds but the actual time was about 23 seconds from the starting bell to the ending bell). Jones, despite mainly being used as a preliminary talent in the 80s WWF, garnered further recognition when LJN created an action figure of him for their Wrestling Superstars toy line. In 2006 SD Jones appeared for the WWE inducting Tony Atlas into the Hall Of Fame . |
