SD Jones

[7.0] "Final Edit? Special Delivery had a natural charisma that was undeniable. Prior to the WWF's national expansion, SD seemed to be positioned for an upper mid card run at any moment but it never happened, usually he was giving a win to in coming heels and established veterans alike. SD was hot & in during the late 70's/early 80's but by the mid 80's he was kind of washed up; usually he was annoyingly tentative and used weak offense. In the rising golden era, far too many times beating SD wasn't beating much. His earlier work is recommended to see why he was a threat "in theory" during the latter years. Check out the first few months of 1981 especially, it helps his case. (Wrestling history is fun, in the early 80's Jones was getting victories over the man who would later portray "King Kong Bundy" - let that sink in for a few moments! ) 6.75"

[8.0] "Probably the best babyface jobber of all time, although I still think Jerry Allen is the best babyface jobber in my book. But without being biased, SD Jones is probably the best babyface jobber ever. Unfortunately, you knew the guy was gonna lose whenever he is on a TV card, but he still had a few wins then and there against the Jobber heels. Even if he was a jobber, he still got his own action figure, had his face plastered all over WWF promotional snack items, and was involved in WrestleMania 1 losing against King Kong Bundy. I may also mention that he probably is the most booked jobber in pro-wrestling history with working over 1900 matches with the WWF."

[4.0] "One of the more lovable jobbers and I want to give him 5 stars, but he never got enough offense in. Aside from the memorable match with Bundy, and the battle royal spot where he lost a coin toss to Tony Atlas to decide the winner because as tag partners they didn't want to fight, I watched a house show from 1987 and SD Jones totally botched an electric chair drop with Rick Rude and instead of falling back with Rude, he just kinda shrugged him off and poor Rude just fell awkwardly in a bad spot. Those are the three big memories of SD Jones."

[5.0] "One of the premier 80s jobbers in the WWF, he held for a few years the record of the quickest loss in WrestleMania history, at the first event against King Kong Bundy. Blessed with fantastic strength and in ring charisma but with limited mobility, he still did his job in admirable fashion."

[8.0] "hell of a jobber. if you were on the way up the ranks in the 70s and 80s, you were gonna run into S. D at some point. though i do wish he would have had some more high-profile wins, his ability to put a wrestler over was amazing. RIP special delivery."

[9.0] "One of the best jobbers of all time! He was always a babyface. Spent most of his career in WWF. He had a solid built and was a average fighter. Heck he had a bit of a push in 1984 during the early days of the Hulkamania era. He got to team up with Andre the Giant and Tony Atlas. He even had an action figure. He inducted Atlas into the WWE hall of fame. RIP"

[5.0] "One of my favorite WWF jobber growing up. Always thought he would win on Saturday mornings, but would always fail me. WWF did use him in some keep moments such as the Bundy Wrestlemania squash match, and teaming him with Andre in the hair cutting match."

[4.0] "must have been one hell of a guy in the locker room and very well liked by the front office... stuck around for years after he lost any credibility he might ever have to win a big match... and yet we were still sold there was some chance he might win. if he had been a short term jobber I might agree with some of these higher grades. he did have more charisma then the other jobbers... but that was killed by over exposure. maybe I shouldnt blame the wrestler, but he probably could have been a mid carder if he moved around more and been fresher when he returned too. I just used to fast forward through most his matches unless I was in serious love with his opponent"

[8.0] "I believe SD Jones did his job as well as anyone in the WWF of the 80's this side of Hogan and Savage!"

[5.0] "A great jobber. He always seemed on the edge of winning the match, only to mess up at the last second and lose. He was a master at putting a wrestler over."

[8.0] "Blessed with fantastic strength and in ring charisma, Jones was one of the best jobbers the WWF ever had. Strong enough to almost body slam Big John Studd when only Andre could. His limited mobility prevented him from being a regular mid card performer, he gains an extra point for completing his task to perfection. Once a rising villain entered the territory, they'd dispose of the fodder jobbers and get some mic time. Once established as a talent to watch, they'd next be pairied with SD and, after a key Jones error, they'd win a exciting back and forth contest. The villain would then go on to fight the likes of Tony Garea and then elevate to main event status with a possible title run. One thing was for certain, all major bad guys had to run through Jones. Further they were all in trouble at one point in the match. RIP."
