SD Jones
Conrad Efraim, better known to the wrestling world as SD Jones, was an unstoppable force in the ring during his three-decade long career. Born on March 30, 1945, in Antigua, Leeward Islands, WIN, Jones' early life laid the foundation for a future filled with grappling greatness.
Standing tall at 6 feet 1 inch and weighing in at 260 pounds, SD Jones was an allrounder's dream come true. His towering presence and imposing physique made him an instant threat to anyone stepping into the ring opposite him. The powerhouses of the wrestling world took notice, and soon he found himself competing for some of the biggest promotions on the planet.
Jones' impressive resume boasts a laundry list of notable feuds and memorable matches against the best of the best. His headbutt, a devastatingly effective move that left opponents reeling, earned him the nickname "Special Delivery." A nod to his Antiguan heritage, it was a fitting moniker for a man who brought so much joy and excitement to the fans.
Throughout his career, SD Jones competed in various promotions, including World Wrestling Entertainment, New Japan Pro Wrestling, National Wrestling Alliance, Universal Wrestling Federation, and International World Class Championship Wrestling. His impressive array of titles included the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship, a testament to his ability to adapt and thrive in any environment.
Jones' last match took place on September 11, 1995, but his legacy continued long after he hung up his boots. On October 26, 2008, Jones left this mortal coil behind, taken from us far too soon by the cruel hand of fate. A schlaganfall, or stroke, claimed his life at the age of 63, a devastating blow to the wrestling community.
Despite his untimely passing, SD Jones' impact on the sport he loved will never be forgotten. His first match took place on April 25, 1974, and though it marked the beginning of an incredible journey, it was merely the starting point for a career that would span over two decades.

A true original, Special Delivery Jones will always be remembered as an unstoppable force in the ring, a testament to the power of hard work, dedication, and a never-say-die attitude.
