Career

Ron Garvin started wrestling in 1962. He formed a team with his "brother" Terry Garvin in the 1960s and early 1970s and they won a few regional tag team titles together. They were managed by their other "brother", Jimmy Garvin (actually Ron's stepson in real life).

Garvin made a name for himself as a singles wrestler in the Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee territories in the late 1970s after splitting with Terry and Jimmy. He wrestled in Angelo Poffo's International Championship Wrestling promotion where he was best known for his heated rivalries with Randy Savage and Pez Whatley. One of Garvin's best-known ICW moments was where he knocked Ox Baker's dentures out of his mouth, after which Garvin stomped on the dentures.[1] He held the NWA Georgia Television Title (also known as The National or World TV Title) 5 times, including a feud with then Legion of Doom member, Jake "The Snake" Roberts. At one point during the feud, Jake Roberts held the TV title and refused to give Garvin a re-match. Garvin had to mortgage his house to come up with $10,000 to pay Roberts for a re-match. Garvin would go on to win the re-match and once again become the NWA World TV champion. This article is about the U.S. State. ...

He then went to the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions where he would achieve his greatest success. He became "The Hands of Stone" Ron Garvin and he feuded with Tully Blanchard and Black Bart before entering in a feud with NWA World Champion Ric Flair in 1987. On September 25, 1987, Garvin was able to defeat Flair for the title. It was during this feud that Garvin would eventually gain X-Pac heat, which would see Flair getting cheered in the middle of a cage match, and Garvin booed. His winning the belt was a last minute booking decision by the committee due to losing their original choices for successors. Magnum T.A., the original choice, was forced out of in-ring competition following a car accident and Buddy Landel was fired for drug use on the day he was to win the title.
