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.
