The former NWA Champion opens up about his gritty and storied journey through professional wrestling. This captivating interview offers a deep dive into Garvin's career, from his humble beginnings to his time as a headliner in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).
The journey begins in the 1960s, where Ronnie Garvin carved his path in the wrestling world, earning his moniker "Hands of Stone" due to his powerful strikes. His relentless determination and in-ring prowess led him to various territories, including Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and Georgia Championship Wrestling, where he faced off against the biggest names in the industry.
Garvin's career saw a major milestone in 1987 when he defeated Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, marking a significant achievement in wrestling history. This victory set the stage for a heated feud with Flair, culminating in a rematch at Starrcade, where Flair regained the title. Garvin's championship reign and rivalry with Flair solidified his status as a major player in the NWA.

The interview covers memorable moments like Garvin’s feud with Valentine, leading to a series of brutal matches, including a Submission Match at the 1989 Royal Rumble.
