The Katz Files – Arnie Katz
My Weekly RAW Notebook!
The Kingfish Arnie Katz presents his analysis and insights inspired by the 10/273 episode of RAW
A memorial placard for Special Delivery Jones filled the screen before the episode began.
The Kingfish Comments: How well I remember Special Delivery Jones from the old WWWF days. He was what might be called an “elite jobber,” along with Johnny Rodz. SF Jones didn’t win a lot of matches, but he worked hard and well in the ring, so it was always a good sign when he was the opposition for whomever WWWF was trying to put over at the time.
The closest current equivalent might be Sho Funaki. Jones had a few moments in the limelight during his long career, such as Kung Funaki is now enjoying, but he was basically one of the bit players in the wrestling show. Yet Special Delivery Jones embraced his role and made the most of it. He will be fondly remembered.
