exciting new addition


In what is sure to become a "Made Fresh daily' hallmark we will be debuting a new weekly segment that sheds some much needed light on the some of the formative figures in my early development as a human being. If one wanted to strive to become a well-rounded, charismatic pillar in the community, they need not look any further than the fine role models of the WWF. For having such a profound impact on some many lives, the men and women of the world wrestling federation have not received the acclaim and attention that they so richly deserve. That is all about to change.

There is no better place to begin the mining of 80's wwf lore than with SD "Special Delivery" Jones. What follows is a quick biographical sketch of an extraordinary man and wrestler.

S.D. Jones (Conrad Efraim) debuted in 1961. In light of the standard set by Bobo Brazil, Jones (who also wrestled as "Roosevelt Jones" for a time) would also adopt the head butt as a signature maneuver over the years. He is best known as an upper-level "jobber" in the WWF during its 1980s rise to national prominence, but believe it or not, Jones did have his share of success in the business prior to those days. In 1975, he teamed up with Porkchop Cash to win the NWA Americas Title in Los Angeles.

With a smile on his face, Hawaiian shirt and headband, S.D. gave his all in every match. While his win-loss record was not the greatest, fans all over the world cheered for S.D. every time he came to town, and entertaining fans at the expense of personal gain is the mark of a class act. S.D. Jones was a true professional his entire career.

Jones is now retired from wrestling.

I ask you, where have our heroes gone? Apparently they have retired from wrestling and are living day to day in motels along some desolate stretch of hi-way in Pensacola, Florida.
