    I know this news is a few days late and surprised it hasn't been mentioned here already.

    Conrad Efraim aka Special Delivery Jones, most famous for jobbing to King Kong Bundy in 9 seconds at the first Wrestlemania passed away on the 26th after suffering a stroke two days earlier.

    RIP.

    I used to watch each week the WWWF classic shows that were on Sky years ago. Generally it was quite a boring show but SD Jones had a bit of a spark about him and he was fun to watch.

    Neither was Iron Mike Sharpe (at least not to the current generations), but he was mentioned here a couple of years ago.

    With Iron Mike Sharpe and SD Jones all in the one thread it would be wrong not to mention Salvatorie Bellomo another notable early 1980's job guy who had a bit of personality about him.

    OMFG! Sal Bellomo! I'll never forget him on the Pit when Piper pulled the piss right out of him. "What are you doing here? I didn't order a Pizza!"

    Think about that for a second, the stuff they got away with around 85-87 they'd never get away with now without people throwing the race card around left right and centre.

    I'm sorry to hear of "Special Delivery" Jones' untimely death.

    He rarely saw a chance at Gold; his one belt being the NWA America's tag championship, which he held three times in the 70's. He (as mentioned) wrestled King Kong Bundy at the first Wrestlemania and he alsotagged with Tony Atlas in the WWF in the early 1980's in a feud with Mr Fuji and Mr Saito, the then tag champs. He was always considered somewhat higher than a jobber in WWF as he was always portrayed at being a capable wrestler though he is most noted for being on his back at the end of a contest. His last WWE job was to induct Atlas into the 2006 Hall of Fame.

    I for one will remember him fondly, RIP SD.

    I'd also like to point out that he was the first ever wrestling figure I had, one of the old LJN rubber bendy figures that if went flying in the wrong direction could break a nose.

    I asked for Koko B Ware, i got SD Jones. My poor mom got em confused. :)
    And on that high note, the laptop is getting packed away for the flight. Have a good Halloweenie folks. :D

    :confused: He was enhancement talent. What is there to argue about? Unless you just want to keep on shooting...

    RIP. I don't think I remember the guy myself, although I know the name

    Is there any of these "enhancment talents" on smackdown or raw today ? I remember back in the mid 90's Challenge and Superstars always had mid card guys (at the time) like HBK in short squash matches but they'd also be on Raw. Last I remember even the most hopeless jobber on Raw and Smackdown at least used to have a gimmick of some sort.

    Lol, Like anyone takes what this guy says seriously. Barely anyone remembers who Damien Demento was. Enhancement talent defending dead enhancement talent.

    Gotta admire his passion for it at least.
