Ronnie Garvin Full Career Shoot Interview! 

The Hannibal TV Full Shoot Interview Playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLvoIHF4T3-L706lEMhXDDveFu63O223xo

Ronnie wasn't exaggerating, he was "The Man" in Baltimore! He beat Jake the Snake then Ted DiBiase for each of the NWA Georgia Television Championship and the NWA National Heavyweight Championship. He challenged Ric Flair for the World Championship on numerous occasions including some 60 minute matches. He is right about wrestling not being the same (neither is the town), you couldn't tell those guys weren't trying kill each other. I sat ringside in the 2nd-4th rows and loved it! Thank you Ronnie for the Great Memories!

Yes he still has fans, another great legend interview, heck yes he made his punches look real. Best of luck.

Met Ronnie when i was 12yrs old, my Dad and ronnie wrestled together in fl.in the late 60- 70s. Yhey use to dive sinkholes in orange groves, i was to guard the life line. He was a great freind to the family he was like a big brother, we are still freinds to this day. He was and is the greatest wrestler and human being

Many thanks Hannibal. This interview exceeded all expectations. Nice to see Ronnie looking so well.

Ronnie I watched you wrestle in ICW wrestling in the late 70's when I was a kid against Ox Baker and Randy Savage. Good to see you are doing well. Thanks for the memories.

Ronnie Garvin a true gentleman. I was a friend of Joey Maggs from Baltimore and he was Ronnie's friend. I glad I had the pleasure of meeting you when you were the Champion. May GOD BLESS you always.

This is one of the best shoot interviews I've ever seen.

Ronnie was tough as nails, i loved his early 80's run in Georgia and his feud with Flair. His matches with Flair looked like real fights!

My favorite wrestler of all time !!!!!!! When I was nine yrs. old I had the pleasure of watching him wrestle a couple times in TN. It was awesome ! I got his autograph and I've still got it. Thanks so much for this interview. We still love ya Ronnie ! ✌

Great old school wrestler GOD bless him it's good to see him thru this channel. Thank you Hannibal

He was right saying he was over in Cleveland, I'm from there & my family loved the Hands Of Stone!

Ron Garvin is a true bad ass. Great interview...

Thanks. I was there the night he turned on Dusty and the night in Detroit when he won the title. Glad he finally decided to do an interview. One of the most underrated stars. Matches with Jake Tully and others were classics

I was a big fan of his in the 70's and always knew he was the real deal!!! Thanks so much for this Awesome interview!!!

Used to enjoy watching RG back in the day; thanks for all your hard work and all the memories.

Excellent interview. I didn't watch any of the snippets posted leading up to this so I could see the entire interview in one sitting. The wait was killing me lol but it was worth it. Unfortunately, I was only able to follow Garvin's career from 1985-1990 but I was a big fan. Loved most of his run in Jim Crockett Promotions and was very upset by how he was booked in WWE. Seeing him go from being NWA World Champion to being a lower mid-carder, who usually did jobs unless he was facing a jobber, in WWE, drove me nuts. It's great to hear him recount how and why certain things went down the way they did.

The only guy to wrestle on a PPV for three different companies in the 1980's.

Garvin is one of my all time favorites, and that's no BS, I remember his feud with Flair very well, so damn violent, loved it! And his time spent in Memphis wrestling.

I was waiting for this full interview to be put up. I don't know much about Ronnie Garvin, since most of his best work was before my time. However, I appreciate listening to his stories and getting to know about yet another vet's life. Thank you!

One of my favorite wrestlers when I was a kid was rugged ronnie garvin.. I would love to see him be in the WWE hall of fame..

I watched parts of two of your interviews tonight; Ronnie and Bob Backlund and It is so great to see both of them both looking so good.

Ronnie Garvin was great for his time. Very entertaining and physical, the way Wrestling should be. The only think about him I don't like about him is the obvious love he has for money. I understand you should look out for yourself and that you should be compensated for hard work but give me a break. Every program he worked it always came back to money , money , money. Didn't reference the details of the programs as much as he should have. I am not naive I know we all have to live and doing well is important, but at the end of the day we all leave it behind once we pass away. What matters in the end of the day is your legacy and how you lived when you are here. I wish Mr. Garvin the best going forward and I am not bad mouthing him but being over enamored with the almight dollar undermines everything you ever tried to accomplish as an individual. It is best to keep your feet on the ground and your head out of the clouds.

I only really know him from a 1989 WWF STICKER album and I needed his right shoulder to finish the book😂 I had 100’s of stickers that were double or triples. I’d seen some old vhs’s of him as well(all you could get in the UK) I’m definitely a fan now👍 Great interview .

Great interview! I've been a fan of Ronnie's since he wrestled in Knoxville. I saw him fight the Mongolian Stomper and he impressed me so much, I even went to a television taping just to see him again! Great wrestler...the original wolverine, and one of the first anti-heroes! Was always my favorite after that! Thanks for the great memories and the wonderful interview!

Watched him back in the 70's in Johnson City Tn. Great old school wrestling.

One of the best and what a take on the business.. Best Shoot interview I have seen and what a Wealth of Knowledge! Great Job!!!

Thanks for the interview with the one man gang Ronnie Garvin he was my favorite wrestler growing up and I will always be a fan. I used to watch him and Randy Savage wrestle out of Lexington Ky several times he would wear the Macho Man out back in the day the best wrestling matches I ever saw. Thanks again for this upload

Thank you Ronnie and GNW for this interview......It was the 1st. time that I can remember Ronnie ever giving a interview and yes Ronnie we do remember "The Hands of Stone',

The Garvin-Rougeau feud in 80's was the last great feud of Montreal & Quebec wrestling. Ronnie learned to wrestle at Loisirs St Jean Baptiste on Rachel and Berri from Pat Girard (wrestled under Pat Curry in Europe) where many local wrestlers learned their craft from 50s to when it closed in 1990. Ronnie should be proud of this interview and how he will be remembered.

The ORIGINAL STOMPIN A MUDHOLE AHD WALKING HIM DRY BROTHER!!!

Awesome work! I'm a big Ronnie fan-as a person and a wrestler-and this smokes his rf shoot. What a badass.

Best shoot interview ever! Sorry Kayfabe, GNW got the coolest old school of all time. Who knew?

from superstar billy graham to rugged ronnie garvin, your interviews are excellent!

Saw all the Garvin-Rougeau matches live in Montreal.....real wild stuff....best matches anybody could see....the rivalry was intense....you can find some of these on You Tube.Thanks Ronnie!!

Tremendous. What a guy. Refreshing to see a guy that wrestled, stayed true to himself, left the business when he wanted (or when it was hunting season), and still can chat about those days w/fond memories. Thanks for the interview!

Garvin at the fairground Chilhowee Park Amphitheatre in Knoxville him and Ivan Koloff would fight outside the Ring from the stage to the pit all the way to the top steps of the Venue through the crowd best chain matches i ever saw in my Life

one of my favorite wrestlers

me and my dad give him a ride one day in the town of Belmont North Carolina in the nineties

Ronnie G. I sure enjoyed your interview... You surely are a good interviewee... your personality is awesome... Very down to earth , and respectful... That's a real compliment these days... My hats off to you for long and wonderful career... l was 10 when l started watching Vern G. AWA about in 1969 or 1970... Madog crusher - jessie the bod - big boss man - hillbilly jim - nick bockwinkle - rick flare - wood tick - black jack lana - larry the Ax Henning = Barron vonrashkie and Bobby the Brain Heenan ... l loved it and still watch reruns... Thanks for your service in the ring and out...

I've been waiting for this interview for a while now. Thanks for posting it up. GREAT JOB!!!

I was kid watching RONNIE GARVIN beat ANDRE THE GIANT in Knoxville, TN. I remember that match.

One of the most underrated talents of all time

Awesome. Thank you, Hannibal for posting the interview. Really appreciated. Long Live Hands Of Stone

The spanish guy was Al Perez

Another great interview ! Keep up the hard work Hannibal these are the best shoots I have seen.

Loved this ,what a likeable guy, and as always Hannibals interviewing stlye , not interrupting ,asking the right questions, just makes for the best wrestling shoots out there

great interview glad i watched it

Thanks for sharing. Excellent work!

Great interview. And a walk down history lane from the 60’s to 70’s to 80’s to 90’s.

I became a fan of his in 82-83. vs Jake Roberts .

One of my childhood heroes!

Glad that I get to this interview. What a great interview.

Great Interview Thank you :)

One of the greatest talents of wrestling.

his angle with Flair and his swerve on Dusty at the GAB 87

world wrestling entertainment go with Hannibal,he deserves it ,earned it,and respects the biz,if you could build anyone build him

looks great good interview.......... original hand's of stone....

One the greatest wrestler ever.the match with flair was classic.

Thanks Hannibal another great interview

One of my daddys favored wrestler he differently need to go in the wwe hall of fame

Ronnie I'm still a fan glad your doing fine God bless you always.

I remember Ronnoe Garvin feuding with Greg Valentine I think it was an early SummerSlam one of the 1st couple that Garvin was the ring announcer and throwing shots at Valentine it was pretty funny I thing Greg Valentine was wrestling Hercules

I honestly did not know Ronnie was as old as he was. Dang I loved to here his promos because he and Arn Anderson really made you believe it was real and someone was going to be hurt, LOL. How Ronnie is not in the HOF along with Ron Fuller and a few others is beyond me.

5 Stars my Brother!!!

Hey Hannibal , The next time you talk to The Hands Of Stone Ronnie Garvin ask him about his angle with The Mid Night Express when James E . Cornette threw the fireball in his face and if the burns were legit because it was absolutely convincing ... thanks ... GOD BLESS !!!

One of my favorites.

Great work with the legends. Always great interviews. RF and Kayfabe are a few steps behind.

From the Hands Of Stone to the Eyes of Stoned.

Ronnie Garvin...the original One Man Gang. I used to watch him when I was a boy during his days with the ICW. Great memories.

Great job on this interview

Looking good for 71. Could probably still kick my ass.

Great interview. Ronnie's eyes are almost as red as his shirt!

Ron defeated Andre in Knoxville in 1978. Tully and Arn were quite good.

He should be in the HOF!!! Legend!!!

great interview. very interesting.

Awesome interview!! Was interesting to hear what he had to say about Big Dust. He's the 2nd to say that he tried to kill the Rock and roll and was jealous of others getting over. Despite that, I enjoyed RG when he was in Crockett's territory.

That was an excellent interview and I really enjoyed the learning about Ronnie Garvin I'm going to have to go research some video now👍

Long live Ronnie Garvin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dern Right Ronnie You Have Fans !!! I been a fan of The Hands Of Stone Ron Garvin since I was 8 - 9 years old when I first seen you rake a jobber across the back to turn him around and then you let loose a Thunderous Chop to his chest lol wow and today I’m a 44 year old fan of yours and without a doubt you will always have fans !!! The A family will always love The Hands Of Stone Ronnie Garvin !!! thanks ... GOD BLESS !!!

Who was Ronnie talking after he said the wwf had a hard time keeping him during hunting season and he looked to someone and said “You To I Think” ... thanks ... GOD BLESS !!!

One of the finest Wrestlers ! Love You , RG !

thatstreetfight match vs bubba rodgers at starcade 86 was a fight a brutal fight

watching ronnie garvin vs greg valentine a the royal rumble was what got me into wwe they were stiff

I first saw him wrestle in knox tenn! Hes simply the best there is and the best there ever was! wwe could learn alot from his career! get rid of the drama queens!

OSW bought me here... sort of ;)

Ronnie was born in 45 so today he is 74. This video was uploaded 3 years ago in 2016, Ronnie would have been 71. Amazing.

Lol love the gimmick with the shoe box and commissioner

him and flair traded belts over the course of a couple weekends between Flint, Saginaw, Kalamazoo and Toledo back in 86 or 87. Great 60 min matches.

I always liked Ronnie straight shooter .........

Saw all the Garvin-Rougeau live in Montreal

I love going to see Ronnie Garvin Even when he was Mr Knoxville the fuller brothers great entertainment in their time

Great job on this!

Great lunchpail wrestler. Great worker. Remained humble. Worked hard.

the rugged one! Great to see him doing well and living life! with all due respect to flair and his chops but man would the rugged one lay them out

Awesome stuff. love these shoot interviews. thank you.

This is truly one of my favorite interview u did Hannibal.......u should definitely interview Dean Malenko

This is My 4th or 5th time watching this interview and I absolutely enjoy it !!!

@35.00 "...awalkin around ..like it's a picnic.." classic.... make the shit legit.
