Jimmy has said they don't and never speak and in one radio interview said there was more to the story about him ( Ronnie) marrying his mom and he didn't like it..
From a Jimmy Garvin interview I've seen these two weren't close. Ron wasn't much older than Jimmy and he married his mom, so I don't think that sat too well with Jimmy. They seldom talked or kept up with one another. As a kid I was never really a big fan of either wrestler. Although I always thought Jimmy Garvin had a pretty cool gimmick with his fancy attire and Sunshine for his manager.
Ronnie came into the Kroger grocery store I worked at during my high school years. Someone said that he had a boat out at the local lake. What a cool day that was to meet him.

I don't know how Ronnie feels about Jimmy... but Jimmy Garvin wrote a LONG article which included how he felt about Ronnie. Let's just say there's no love lost there... I have it saved somewhere... because it was posted on some kind of shoddy site that I knew wouldn't be around for long (all apologies if it's still up today :) but if it is you can read the article yourself!) It was a great read. He talked about his pilot career, and how he and Ronnie were never close... and how he felt Macho Man and Liz were a ripoff of him and Precious. You guys should see if you can find it.
I heard Jimmy is mad and still holds a grudge for Ronnie setting Jimmy up for Pat Paterson to have a go at him in the early 70s. I think Jimmy was 16 or 17
Basically she remarried kinda fast so Jimmy wasn't over his fathers death yet and Ron is only 8 years older than Jimmy so he didn't see him as a father figure since they had nothing in common other than wrestling . Neither seems to really care either way .
i wish they would of asked him about my fav Ron garvin moment when ric flair won precious and was suppost to have a hot night with her.,isntead it was ron dressed as precious and knock flair the hell out then jj Dillon got pushed into a small pool i miss those days
I miss those days too. Now we get shit like Lana and Lashley making out in front of Rusev. Think for a second: Ric Flair and Precious making out in front Garvin? Stupid and classless.
Yeah I remember during Ronnie and Jimmy's concurrent runs in the NWA one of the wrestling magazines had a picture of both Garvin's together. This took place before Jimmy turned face making it a rare occasion where a heal and a babyface would smile in the same picture. The caption below said that both Garvin's were blood brothers but asked if they would become brothers in blood. If I'm not mistaken when Jimmy (and Precious) turned face just after the fireball incident, I believe Jimmy called Ronnie his brother. Please correct my account if I am wrong.
I didn't know that Jimmy Garvin was a high school amatur wrestler. Someone should should put all pro wreslers that had high school and/or college wrestling background.
I wonder why he hasn’t seen Jimmy Garvin in 15 years that’s too bad do you think they would see each other once in a while I mean he did step in and be his stepfather
I met Ronnie at the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame a few years ago. I enjoyed talking to him. He told me that when he got his start in pro wrestling, he didn’t even speak English.
@@teller1290 I read somewhere not long ago that Jimmy and Precious are involved with a ministry that helps the homeless. It's great that they're still together after all these years.
I use to like Ronnie Garvin until I saw the video of him boris malinko Bob Roop and maybe Ron wright exposing the business and trying to steal our territory from I believe the Tennessee stud Ron Fuller
Hey Mr Garvin ya know Jesus loves you man....but devil hates us all. My hope is ya say a prayer ever so often to the Good Lord. He cares merciful loves... Hannibal has interviewed lots of wrestlers who happen to have a faith ...oh they may have done stupid things here and there but only God is perfect. Nikita Koloff ( think Ivan was a believer too. ) Plus Sting ...Shawn Michaels ...came to a faith...Ted D. Million $ man...Undertaker I think so...what 's his name Zeus ? The black guy bald one eye ....Telly Blanchard...Hulk Hogan... Check out how even Michael Franezes ex NYC mob boss came to a faith. His character was in the Goodfellas movie. He's got a youtube ch . Maybe Hannibal can interview him. Gospel looks foolish but it 's real. And ya can pray anywhere and have an encounter. Pray from heart. God bless you sir Mr Garvin. Wonder if he ever wrestled against the original Assassins masked tag team ?
damn, ron is still a total stud, id love having him put me in his fav holds and make me buck, squirm, struggle, and wimper/beg in them just for his total enjoyment, loved the way he'd verbally emasculate jobbers to if you listened really close during his matches, one of my fav matches to watch of him was "garvin vs zane" on youtube, id love to let him ride me in a rear seated chinlock like he did zane....im wanting, willing, and waiting Ron!......seriously!
As a child I used to think they were brothers Ronnie and Jimmy it's kind of sad how they haven't talked in all those years.
They were promoted as brothers….I was today years old when I found out their not brothers!!!
He beat him like a red-headed step child.
@@MrParker-ux2mhRonnie was married to Jimmy's Mother...Father and Son in law...😁😁📺📺
I love these interviews with the old timers, but man they remind me of how old I am.
Yup
same. I can listen to Hannibal interview these OG's of wrestling all day.
I was born in 72
He's only 7 years older than his stepson, that's amazing...lol
Peter Maivia was 11 years older than Rock’s mom (his stepdaughter)

Damn, all these years later and Ron's eye is still red from that jim cornette fireball.
It was some kinda cosmic fireball
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cosmic fireball
lmao
Doesn't seem like Ronnie or Jimmy liked each other from all the Shoot Videos I've seen with both.
Ronnie and Flair trading "chops" was a site to be held! Tough men!
Many people thought Flair was a pretty boy,but he was probably one of the toughest when it came to taking punishment and handing it out.
Who remembers Miss Atlanta Lively???
Ronnie Garvin I did love you out there . My father too . The punch , the blowing of your hands . That was cool
"the Garvin stomp" lol
...as dumb as hands of stone nonsense. Never got Ronnie Garvin, as a main event.
Nice job by Judd Nelson pretending to be Ronnie Garvin.
ANON lol.
He's like a combo of Judd Nelson and Jerry Lawler.
ANON holy shit that's funny
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
@@MrNWA4Life no, that's Charlie Sheen's dad. Martin Sheen
As Mr. Spock would say: "Fascinating …"
Holy crap I never knew that!... Ronnie Garvin is Jimmy Garvin stepdad?!
All these recent interviews are great... Keep em comin!
real close family ya got there garvin

Ronnie is the first person Ive ever seen, to have an Eastern Canadian accent, and a southeastern US accent, at the very same time.

WTF?
takeonparis ss
Holy crap didn't not know that VERY informative I really thought they were brothers😕
Ronnie's less than 10 years older than his stepson so they might as well be lmao
I think the stomping of the limbs he use to do, that's where Randy Orton perfected it from.
i wish they would of asked him about my fav Ron garvin moment when ric flair won precious and was suppost to have a hot night with her.,isntead it was ron dressed as precious and knock flair the hell out then jj Dillon got pushed into a small pool i miss those days
Ron dressing up as Miss Atlanta Lively. He did that a few years before to him Jimmy Valiant take on the Midnight Express
saberone000 That was classic. And then a year later, the NWA started falling apart. So sad.
Yeah......those were the days.
I miss those days too. Now we get shit like Lana and Lashley making out in front of Rusev. Think for a second: Ric Flair and Precious making out in front Garvin? Stupid and classless.
i got the feeling that there's some bad blood between them
Same.

his wife, Geneva Williams, was a close friend of mine, thank G0od she got rid of HIM!
Whoa . Do tell more. Does Jimmy Garvin ( James Williams ) talk to his mom ?
Ronnie looks great!! Aged well.
Interview was almost 8 years ago
Wow. Sad family life.
I knew they weren't blood, but didn't know Jimmy was his step son. Very interesting.
I didn't know that Jimmy Garvin was a high school amatur wrestler. Someone should should put all pro wreslers that had high school and/or college wrestling background.
FIYARtv What's odd is that Ron is only about seven years older than Jimmy. I don't think Jimmy was ever able to relate to him as a "step-father."
I wonder why he hasn’t seen Jimmy Garvin in 15 years that’s too bad do you think they would see each other once in a while I mean he did step in and be his stepfather
thanks for that info
Great channel
I like Ronnie, but he doesn't seem to be much into "family" at all... has an "I don't really care" kind of attitude
Ronnie Garvin & Jimmy Garvin are only 7 years apart.
hands of stone one of the greats...
This is better than any promo he ever cut
Anybody ever see Garvin speaking French?
Yes.. He spoke French 70% of the time off camera when we were recording it.
What ?!?!?!
@@double00shotgun Ronnie Garvin is French Canadian. Of course he is going to speak it. I bet even William Shatner speaks it too. He is from there too.
I met Ronnie at the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame a few years ago. I enjoyed talking to him. He told me that when he got his start in pro wrestling, he didn’t even speak English.
I will always love "The Barney Rubble of Professional Wrestling."
😂 👍
I always thought Ronnie and Jimmy was brothers.
Jimmy is a pilot
I'm glad I'm not the only one. All this time I thought they were brothers.
They were billed as brothers in several territories.
I thought the same thing for years. When I found out their true relationship I was stunned. Ronnie didn't look old enough to be his stepfather.
both are pilots...
I wonder if he remembers when Wahoo McDaniel cheap-shotted him on Georgia wrestling, just for money
I do!
Jimmy you should've been upset with your mom not as much as Ron.
Did you wrestle Ernie moore the real executioner and is there any video on him ???
how old was Ronnie Garvin when he married Jim Garvin's mother ?
@@HeroOfTheNite I heard Jimmy say he was 14 and Ronnie was 22. I'm guessing Jimmy's mom was early 30's. Hard to be a step dad that young.
Where is precious in 2020
Married to Jimmie...since 1972.

Good word Al
Very boring sort of monotone type fellow now. But definitely a great wrestler in his day.
WTF do you expect?
he's gotta be pushing 80.
He was boring as a wrestler. The Garvin Stomp and Hands of Stone? Gimme a break.
Always liked Ron Garvin, a no none sense guy. Obviously, there is no love lost between the two. Sad
He still looks great!
Doesn't even look like him now.
Damn
Hannibal great shoots but get some females
