He doesn't have that mane anymore that he once had either. He was a licensed pilot who did airline transport work and did that after retiring from wrestling. His kayfabe brother Ronnie who in real life is actually his step father with only an 8 year age difference actually owns a couple of car dealerships in the Charlotte area. So they both did very well outside of wrestling.
I just met Jimmy Gavin in person today ,very accomplished person.He played pro ball has two superball rings like 1977 ,78, interesting conversation .airline pilot
Bro everybody had great mic skills back in the late 70's into the 80's! We would listen to guys like Bullet Bob Armstrong, the freebirds, Tommy wildfire Rich, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes they would get you hyped
@@kingfrank01 wwe network has a surprising amount of classic stuff in good quality if you wanted to relive that stuff. It's only 10 buck a month but for the old stuff it's worth it.
I think the Freebirds with Hayes, Garvin and Gordy we’re better although the ‘Birds with Roberts were the original. I remember Buddy Roberts better as part of the mid to late 1970s Hollywood Blonds with Jerry Brown (who had bleach blond hair with dark body hair). They wrestled in California but you could watch them weekly in the Northeast on a UHF Spanish-language channel.
Geez. I don't care what anybody says. The wrestlers of today may look better, physically, and may be better athletes of the wrestlers if yesteryear, maybe. But none of the wrestlers today, and I mean none of them, have the Mic skills, the personality, the charisma, the acting skills, nothing like the wrestlers from back. Want proof ? Watch anybody in WWE or even Impact cut a promo today. Not even close.
@@adriancano5403 nobody said it was today you fucking idiot you said the old mic skills were the best and im saying the attitude era is better... can you not fucking read
+DefLeppardVanHalen What stunned me, was when Terry Gordy the youngest & arguably the most talented of the 4 passed away, first. They were the only reason I liked wrestling & now that just 2 remain & both are retired, I don't even watch it no more. I'll either watch youtube or my dvds for wrestling. But on the bright side, I still have the Freebirds feuding with the Von Erichs, the Midnight Rockers, the Rock N Roll Express or whoever else they find, with my NWA wrestling game. lol Sure beats watching the WWE. I've been having matches for 30 years with this game. Given the choice of this, or watching the WWE on TV well, I'll stick to this, cos its my federation & unlike Vince, I know how to run it right. Even have up, my own forum where I post the action at. Plus, I still have the stars beating up the jobbers on the weekends on TBS. lol
Jamie Slauenwhite Well much like this clip on youtube, the wrestling game in question is also old school. And by that, I mean its not a video game. Oh, I have video games, don't get me wrong. I have several game systems & hundreds of video games but I find the video game wrestling to be a bit of a bore. No, what I have requires people to use what I like to call that lump that's 3 feet above the ass called a brain. It was perhaps the first ever REAL wrestling simulation game that came out. Depending on your age, you might know it. It was advertised in those old Bill Apter wrestling magazines in the 80's The name of the game is The Superstar Pro Wrestling Game. Its a cards & dice wrestling simulation game. Its also called the SPWG for short. You can be any federation you want, but I tend to be an NWA feller, myself. But unlike the video game age, this game its up to YOU to create all the story lines & angles for your talent roster & its up to you to book all the matches & TV shows & PPV's & all the other things that go right along in the REAL world of pro wrestling. I have up a forum where we all post at. Its also up to you to post up your own ratings & stuff like that. Plus you can invent NEW wrestlers & NEW grudge match concepts. I just came up with 2 NEW grudge matches last week. Ones called the "Desert Storm" match & the other is called the "Shock N Awe" match. And best of all, I didn't have to wait till the holiday season for it to come out. And even better is, it didn't cost me nothing. lol You can also get free downloads of the game, so there's no excuse whatsoever for people NOT to get in the ring & have some fun. Myself, with the Freebirds I don't care if my team wins or loses, just so long as we raise hell, piss off the idiot fans, raise the heat, & get the good guys over, cos when ya think about it, that's the Birds job in the first place & they do it well. lol I also invented the Amusement Park match where the action takes place at an actual Amusement Park. From the bumper cars to the tilt a whirl ride, to the putt-putt golf course to the fun house & all points in between. I also came up with the Amusement Park 2nd Edition so you can raise even MORE hell!!! Plus my version of the Chicago Street Fight can go outside the arena & spill over to the high school football field where you can suplex your foe off the goal post & then it can spill over to the car wash where you might even get a hot wax job & then it might spill over to the gas station or even the Walmart parking lot, you just never know. With my NWA the best complement I could ever get is, for people to say after the show is over, "Man, these are some crazy sumbitches." lol I love the SPWG because it allows me the freedom to be my own boss & do more than just put a controller in my hands & have just matches. BORING!!!! With the SPWG I get to be the boss & create all the story lines & angles & book all the matches & PPV's & TV shows & House Shows & so much more. From my world famous NWA "Torture Tours" to PPV's to my World Tours & every July my month long outdoor stadium tour its a year round front row ticket to the BEST WRESTLING AROUND!!! And I can have whoever I want, in my NWA. The Undertaker, Kane, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Dusty Rhodes, The Road Warriors, Stan Hansen, The Funks, & so many more. For 34 years I've been the NWA. And best of all, you can be any federation you want & can have any of the wrestlers you want, in your federation as my forum IS NOT a league. I don't ruin the fun with bunch of rules. The way I look at it, its your game, your stuff, do what ya want to with it. The number 1 rule on the forum is to HAVE FUN!!! And any night my Freebirds can raise hell & piss off the idiot fans is a FUN NIGHT!!! lol
That's awesome man sounds like fun so it's an actual board game concept I take it? Did you actually buy it in a store? What year was this around sorry just very curious
He got that Rhyme Time to Whammin' & Slammin', Rompin' & Stompin', Bumpin' & Jumpin'! He wuz determined to be the Tag-Team Champs with Jimmy Garvin. I don't remember, though, if that actually happened, or what. Could somebody let me know, as to what happened? It'd be appreciated.
"How many wrestlers had blonde hair with dark beards in the 80s?" "A lot." I wish I could remember who had that conversation....maybe it was Jericho and Austin?
Oh dude- Very few could compete w Michael PS Hayes...he would’ve been an awesome Horseman. But truth be told, he didn’t need it. Man was a star on his own
My favorite thing about Jimmy Garvin, him and Precious are still together today.
Wow......didn’t know that.
He doesn't have that mane anymore that he once had either. He was a licensed pilot who did airline transport work and did that after retiring from wrestling. His kayfabe brother Ronnie who in real life is actually his step father with only an 8 year age difference actually owns a couple of car dealerships in the Charlotte area.

They've been married since 1972.
@@benjaminlucas1635 real love
He has also 3 daughters with her. He keeps them away from the public eye.
This is what Wrestling is so desperately missing. Promos like these. These guys were amazing.
These types of promos are what creates excitement, they need to bring these types of promos back, high energy, loud n proud!
Won’t happen because having writers ruined this style of when wrestlers were genuinely excited about doing their promo
I just met Jimmy Gavin in person today ,very accomplished person.He played pro ball has two superball rings like 1977 ,78, interesting conversation .airline pilot
I got some ocean front property in richwood WV.. Cheap
@@beavishawk1 don't understand your comment
@@walterschilling4512 He saying you are lying my man.🤷
I forgot how much liked Jimmy Garvin promos. Always seemed to be so happy\positive delivering them. Michael Hayes is always excellent too.
Even as a heel he seemed to be high energy and just happy to be there.
Jimmy had one of the best ring entrances ever. He should have been bigger, but there was a lot of talent in those days.
Not many people can be on the same promo level as Michael Hayes. But Garvin certainly is.
Awesome promo
I don't think i've ever heard that one about the peas in the pot. That was a treat for the ears.
Bro everybody had great mic skills back in the late 70's into the 80's! We would listen to guys like Bullet Bob Armstrong, the freebirds, Tommy wildfire Rich, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes they would get you hyped

I loved this version of the birds ... Buddy Jack was more a manager in my mind as a kid. Jimmy Jam was a big upgrade
No way! Bam Bam Gordy was a beast!!!
DoctorFK_PhD Hayes, Garvin, and Gordy > Hayes, Buddy Jack, and Gordy
You can't forget about Bam Bam Terry Gordy!!
Agree Buddy was whack
I think the Freebirds with Hayes, Garvin and Gordy we’re better although the ‘Birds with Roberts were the original.

doot doot doot
I hated Garvin as a kid. 20 years later now i realize he had Good mic skills
You hadn’t done drugs at the time you didn’t realize how cool the guy was you were just a young kid.
His promo here was better than Hayes, in my opinion. More real. Hayes just rhymed and spouted nonsense
Jimmy was one of those guys that I liked a lot, but he couldn't seem to get above that mid card. But he was one of my favs
"It's not my fault..." Hahahahaha!

I don't remember, though, if that actually happened, or what.

The 80s were a helluva drug...
So much coke
I wish I was there on some of them.
I mean uh I wish I was there🙂🙃
And the peas wouldn't be jumpin if the water wasn't hot.
Man I miss wrestling 😔
Like the bars from PS Hayes 🤣🤣🤣
Great Promo!!!
Excellent promo
Hayes and Presious have the same hair style
Enjoy some Sourthen Charisma,son!
nothing was better than the southern wrestlers back in the early 70's into the 80's! Those guys were legends
So THAT'S where Snitzky got it from!!!
"How many wrestlers had blonde hair with dark beards in the 80s?"
"A lot."
I wish I could remember who had that conversation....maybe it was Jericho and Austin?
that started with wrestlers like Austin Idol, Terry the Hulk Boulder aka Hulk Hogan and Tommy wildfire Rich
Y'all heard of rockin'-n-rollin'
Michael P. S. Hayes wuz rhymin'-n-rollin'!
Jimmy was so tiny. He makes Doc Hendrix look like a giant.
Jeremy Jones he was the shits
Michael PS was the more charismatic of the two
Oh dude- Very few could compete w Michael PS Hayes...he would’ve been an awesome Horseman. But truth be told, he didn’t need it. Man was a star on his own
@The Best Wrestling Promos of All Time He was a star but he didn't have the heat the Horsemen did, no one did at that time.
When wrestling was amazing
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
@UltraViolentLight Glory days.
Classic
What a wicked wham wee wee
Web we weave 😂
"It's not my fault!"
musikfanat - Ha! I forgot that was his gimmick line....
"cocaine is a hell of a drug."
Doot doot doot!!!!!
Needs more call and response catchphrases.
That hair, though
Jay lol Jimmy had voluminous locks
It was the 80's baby
I see these guys and think....cocaine.
Doot doot doot!
MJF you got nothing on these guys
Fakebirds.
Can't have the Fabulous Freebirds without Buddy Jack and Bam Bam.
He was always with them.
Thats a promo wwe sucks now
jimmy big mouth garvin
They're dorks! 💯🤣😂😅
Hayes had a gimmick that Shawn mimicked. Change my mind!
Kevin Carroll - I cannot argue that theory...He was from Texas too so you know he was a Freebirds fan...
I thought he was going for David Lee roth/Elvis?
You can’t teach a good promo
cocaine is one hell of a drug
Oh yeah it sure is my brother
