S.D. Jones might not be one of the most remembered wrestlers from the first WrestleMania. After all, he held the distinction of having lost in the shortest Mania match in history until 2008. This was a reflection of his sole purpose in WWE: as a jobber who made life difficult for other, more established heels, but still lost more than he won. Despite that role, he still managed to immortalize himself by LJN Toys creating an action figure of him during the 1980s wrestling boom. His most recent appearance was in 2006, when he inducted Tony Atlas into the WWE Hall of Fame. We wouldnt hear much from him afterwards, and he passed away on October 26th, 2008, the result of a stroke he suffered two days earlier.
