Conrad Efraim (March 30, 1945 - October 26, 2008) was an Antiguan professional wrestler best known as Special Delivery Jones from his time in the WWF.

Career

Efraim got his wrestling career started in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. There he would be known as Roosevelt Jones and tag with his fictitious cousin Rufus R. Jones.

Efraim left Mid-Atlantic for California where he would tag with Porkchop Cash and Tom Jones. Together he won three NWA American Tag Team Championships.

He would wrestle in the WWF as a babyface, but usually ended up on the losing side. He faced King Kong Bundy where he would lose quickly in exactly nine seconds. He tagged with Tony Atlas and Andre the Giant during his career.

He would appear in the WWF Music Video for "Land of a Thousand Dances" and would get an action figure of himself in the Wrestling Superstars toy line.

In 2006, he inducted his former tag team partner Tony Atlas into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Efraim passed away on October 26, 2008 from a stroke at the age of 63.

On April 7, 2019, he was inducted into the legacy wing of the WWE Hall of Fame.
