Harsh, true. SD Jones used to be a lineman for the phone company, who occasionally boxed on the side. Getting into a scuffle netted him the reward money, as the fellow he knocked out was a wanted crook, and soon he got a spot on the Superstars team. For most of the 70's he didn't set the world on fire, but he worked mostly as tech support for the team.
Then the 80's came along. Vince Jr. saw him as the perfect template. He could almost tackle villains, ALMOST win, let the crowd know that so and so is dangerous, thus needing a main event level talent to take them down. It was then the JOB Squad formed, a special subsection of the Superstars. Jones was paid enough for his trouble and with his training a new group would be able to take a beating from heroes and villians alike.
His biggest moment came when King Kong Bundy took him down in 5 seconds. He got paid though, but by 1994 he had enough and quit. Worked as a sportswriter for a bit before retiring back home.
