Loss Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Ron Garvin is a fun promo, even if he's not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Hey, Rugged Ronnie Garvin. He was only 41 then ? He could have had another run in WCW easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 He's all over the place on his promo. Figured he was older than 41 at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Pretty strong Canadian accent, Brian Lee bringing him in for DWB & Orndorff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Play this in a minimized window and you'll swear this is Pat Patterson. And he was 47 here, not 41 as he claims--though obviously in phenomenal shape. Garvin acknowledges ruling the Smoky Mountain area at one time and is coming in to help Brian Lee against Paul Orndorff.

MikeCampbell Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Fans in that area have been known to have long memories, so Garvin is the perfect choice to even the sides.

GSR Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 A sit down interview with Brian Lee and he's got himself a partner to face the Dirty White Boy and Paul Orndorff at Summerblast '92, and it's Ron Garvin. Lee called him and asked him to help, he's just turned 41 and is in the best shape of his life. He was the 'one man gang' at one time and is 'the hands of stone' and if you think you've done something in wrestling, you haven't done anything like Ron Garvin. Promo was so so, but it got me excited to see the tag match between the two teams, so in that case, job done. Garvin was another wrestler who I had no idea worked in SMW.

garretta Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 The promo wasn't much by itself, but the idea of Ronnie returning home to Knoxville most likely sold quite a few tickets. He looks really good here; not quite in the prime of his youth, but not forty-seven either. The George Foreman reference would have been more apt if Ronnie was challenging for a title, not just providing backup for Brian Lee in a tag match. I understand the point he was trying to make, though. I'm not sure I like the idea of Ronnie trying to make Orndorff, or all people, out to be some kind of punk rookie who's done nothing. He's headlined against Hogan and was actually supposed to be his promotion's number one heel, instead of being handed a title win over Flair because not even Dusty wanted to be the man to put him over on JCP's first pay-per-view. There are plenty of other things to get on Orndorff about other than his so-called "lack of experience". Nice to hear Ronnie use both of his famous nicknames here. I'm guessing he couldn't use "One Man Gang" for so long because of George Gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted May 3, 2020 Report Share Posted May 3, 2020 Ronnie Garvin in SMW seems like a great fit. Kind of all over the place, but I know enough about Garvin to be excited to see him. Babyface side needs a heavy in SMW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlynwoodx Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Garvin is in the "better shape of his life." This promo was bad, but I loved watching it. He's coming to SMW to help out Brian Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
