Jimmy Garvin Final Shoot Interview Ever

[@zztechs]

Jimmy Garvin, was the very first heal that I was a fan of, the Wahoo Fund was a classic angle had me in stitches....

[@nickcastronovo1358]

So superb in my top10 easily again idiot v. Gagne needed to Jimmy the world champ you & precious alway the best. Wonderful memories!!!!!!

[@rightwinggunnut1]

Gorgeous!!!!

[@toddruedel3774]

Jimmy Garvin was one of my favorite wrestlers in the AWA promotion with precious, he had a very entertaining character and could wrestle.

[@chrisdavis9400]

Loved the old vignette with Jimmy Garvin doing all the chores for David Von Erich in the ole WCCW.That thing was Red Hot at the time!!

[@jimh.412]

Yep that was a classic. Jimmy made that segment. 💪

[@ericfenton5725]

He was awesome in WCCW. Glad he went into the Hall of Fame. He had great pre match interviews, and precious spraying the air freshener in opponents faces was great.

[@michaelvaughn8864]

I recall them days well, Mr. Fenton😂😂

[@shaunclifton5281]

That was a Great interview, Hannibal. I really Enjoyed it and appreciate it. Jimmy is a class act.

[@gmartin474]

I remember meeting Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin and Precious a couple times at the SHOWBOAT in Las Vegas back around 1985 when I was stationed at Nellis AFB. They were always Very Nice to their fans down in the Casino area going to the Showboat Sports Pavilion. Jimmy was a GREAT Wrestler and Patty always complemented his ring style. Those were Great times!

[@dj7973]

Jimmy is a class person. My favorite period were his years with Precious in World Class, AWA, and early Crockett. Great in the ring and on the mic. Thanks Hannibal.

[@nazgul12000]

Jimmy Garvin is a legend !

[@joelyons8238]

Great interview with Jimmy. I used to watch him with my parents when he was in the AWA, & NWA. he was great & I loved his promos. He truly is a Legend. Thank you Jimmy Garvin. For all the great memories of watching you. God bless you & happy to see you are doing great.

[@dalegreening2325]

I love how Jimmy pulls no punches. He’s an open book

[@marcromero2821]

Congrats to Jimmy & Precious on their 50th anniversary 🍾🥂🎉

[@ralphharkey3842]

One of the best interviews I have listened to on your podcast. Thanks.

[@j.jmacneil7719]

Great interview ! Gorgeous Jimmy true legend

[@lenwennerberg1631]

Another good one here Hannibal. God if I walked past Jimmy on the street today I wouldn't recognize him. Loved his work with the Von Erichs in the old World Class. Glad to see he is doing well.

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

What are you talking about he's still gorgeous, look at him

[@RealityCheckTV]

I'd like to see a shoot interview with Precious. She doesn't get the recognition she deserves for her work. She was great as aheel manager/valet with Jimmy & Steve Regal in the AWA.

[@robertbishop5357]

He was an incredible wrestler. He was great on the mic and in the ring. A smart man with a plan to do things outside of wrestling. As a pilot he couldn't be on alcohol and drugs. Pilots get tested almost daily.

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

Good point, yikes! You definitely don't want to have some hard partying guy flying the plane you're on!

[@AnarchistSupreme]

Great interview. Back in 88 as my dad was trying to find parking outside the Cincinnati gardens before a show, I looked out the back window of our truck and see Jimmy and Ronnie Garvin in the car behind us. Jimmy was cool enough to wave before I could react.

[@YakJones]

He was one of my favorites I can’t hear sharp dress man without thinking of him everrrry time

[@SMOKEDOGG4L]

I remember Gorgeous Jim Garvin as a kid. He used to wrestle at the Sportatorium near Downtown Dallas. Iceman King Parsons, Ted DiBiase, King Kong Bundy, Kimala, Ric Flair , The Iron Sheik, and Bruiser Brody were also there. That place used to go crazy when the Freebirds and Von Erichs would go at it.

[@ethanwalker4229]

Sounds awesome I'm 22 years old and started discovering territory wrestling when I was 17. And I started watching it on the Network. And of course on You Tube. But Wccw is one of my favorite territory to watch it would have been awesome to see that live.

[@flstffatboy3910]

Me too the guy was hilarious clowning on Opponents

[@ddwchamp]

I will always remember Garvin working Killer Karl Kox in Florida. I will always remember riding from Savannah to Jacksonville with Landel, Sheik, and Garvin. Thank goodness Jimmy drove.

[@83thechaz]

Grew up watching Jimmy “Jam” Garvin, Michael P.S. Hayes and, of course, Bad Street (Brad Armstrong). Can still hear Gary Michael Capetta …..from Bradstreet USA…..omfg good times. Thank you Hannibal for delivering the goods my friend 👌

[@marcromero2821]

Another great interview good job Hannibal!

[@drsssssssss]

This guy's amazing. A great wrestler and personality, and a successful pilot.

[@bernie7044]

Awesome. It is so good to here his voice again. He had really good showmanship.

[@joshsterling4983]

Gorgeous Jimmy looks great!

[@marcromero2821]

We love Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin in Albuquerque, NM great to see him doing well.

[@CubanoKid913]

The Gorgeous One. Child hood memories activated

[@jimmyjames1842]

One of my favorite wrestlers of all time this is a great interview

[@briankills4713]

I saw jimmy and precious at bayfront St Pete FL 79-83 Precious and sunshine had the first true diva fight What a great angle! And Flair winning precious for 1 night Amazing! Jimmy was in some of the best angles

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

That was a great angle because people didn't like Jimmy but they turned and supported him against Flair

[@guardianofchaosBD]

Excellent conversation

[@flstffatboy3910]

Great interview Hannibal real smooth really good too see and hear from Jimmy....what a great life he’s had good for him

[@Heritagejim5339]

When the KaFabe was lost so was the mystery with all the wrestlers. I grew up in Illinois and every Saturday at 5pm the AWA came on. Absolutely loved it then the early 80’s I came across WCW @ the Sport auditorium on ESPN. Then I moved to Los Angles and came across TBS where I saw the Road Warriors early in their career. That’s where I saw the Garvins, what a great time to be a fan. Nice video

[@hardluckharris]

Probably the greatest ring entrance ever. Great wrestler great showman. They really didn't use him to his potential.

[@ssdj04]

Nice ending Hannibal Great job again

[@daveschannel747]

World Class was the First st time I saw JimmyG.. with Sunshine! Circa 83'... What a super cool guy

[@nononowhoa8567]

His angle with David Von Eric… One of my favorites

[@MrAitraining]

What a cool guy. Loved him as a wrestler but I'd love to hang with him now!

[@scottvista4848]

Really great interview Hannibal!!! Love your question choices. Love your content! Scott in Tampa FL

[@coreysmorgan8488]

He was a smaller man(around 210lbs at his biggest) who made himself seem much bigger...so glad to see a successful ex wrestler. Kudos!

[@jerryf6983]

Personal life Williams married Jimmy Garvin in 1972. Together, they have two daughters and they are involved in a ministry for the poor and homeless. Did not know they were married. Where is their ministry with homeless located?

[@DLo-kp1jd]

He was very entertaining to watch and enjoyed seeing him in the Freebirds. So glad he's done well after wrestling and he's still around. Lord bless him.❤🙏🙏

[@trendmassacre8423]

Last time I saw Jimmy was on TV back in 1991, 31 years later and I hardly recognize him without his long bushy hair. Sucks when the people you enjoyed over the years age 😭

[@tonyottaviani6480]

Garvin and Regal in AWA against the Road Warriors was the best of times. Glad you did alright for yourself Jimmy

[@oldschoolfan420]

Best angle was jimmy Garvin and sunshine cleaning David von Erich barn after losing a match.

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

Jimmy Garvin is one of the coolest guys in wrestling, both professionally and personally. Professionally, he was able to effectively play a heel or a face. Personally, not only has he been married to the same woman for 50 years (Precious), he and Precious do A LOT to help the homeless.

[@nickcastronovo1358]

Excellent point!

[@MrChristopherHaas]

when i went back to watching wrestling and resumed my love i was usually able to get in wccw during Garvins run. and he, along with the entire roster at the time, was as good as any ive ever seen.

[@ssdj04]

This was one of the best interviews I’ve seen in ages. I really loved Jimmy. In NH we never had WCCW but my dad would get me all the Apter mags each month and read all about him Got my first look at him in the AWA Sadly loved the road warriors hated to see them lose Even had the figures oh Jimmy and Regal Thanks for the great childhood Gorgeous Jimmy I wish we still had hair, the only thing missing is you fluffing your hair!!! It’s not my fault!!!!

[@philaman1972]

Wow, such a laid back guy - total antithesis of how he would act when doing promos. He is a smart, grounded man who saved his money!

[@LOGICAL-JAY]

I liked Jimmy Garvin the best around 1988/89 when he was a freebirds..loved when they won the US tag and world tag team belts..

[@AcGarner-n3e]

Fakebirds

[@jimh.412]

Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin was an awesome heel back in the day!!💪💪

[@rumarspencer7302]

Enjoyable interview.

[@herberthunter5570]

Jimmy Garvin was one heck of a wrestler, performer, and worker but NEVER ENTERTAINER!

[@billxmas889]

Jimmy can Briefly be seen in the Old Vivian Vachon movie the Wrestling Queen . I believe with Terrance Garvin in a tagteam .

[@rumarspencer7302]

I honestly was about to let you know when you're interviewing Jimmy, that did enter my mind.

[@trevorthetherapist4200]

I cheered so hard for Jimmy Garvin to win the title from Ric Flair and I ever bought the doll/action figure from the old AWA wrestling ring they used to sell!

[@delbertprince5302]

Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin

[@pnadell9231]

Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin was easily the greatest heel in WCCW !

[@goldenpeacock8843]

Very Interesting,Magnum TA's last match before the accident was Greeneville SC against Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin😉Ty Jimmy for the matches and Memories.I love it Jimmy's a Outlaw just like myself😀

[@floridalarry7079]

After wrestling did great things with Precious for poor and homeless.

[@PilgrimPiper]

Another Mid South legend. His matches against Super Destroyer stick in my mind.

[@jamj2912]

sorry I missed this live. Jimmy was one of my favorites. I loved the angle where Jimmy lost Precious to Rick Flair and Ronnie showed up at Flair's motel room dressed as Precious and knocked Rick Flair out!!

[@freedomofspeech2117]

I loved seeing Garvin and Flair in the cage in Greensboro some dude from the crowd started climbing the cage was awesome watching all that as a little boy

[@gigapus5050]

Wow if I walked into him today would have no clue that was Mr Garvin.

[@hoodtohollywood]

Jimmy Garvin was another wrestler in my opinion that had just as much charisma as anyone else including Flair. A great in ring performer plus he had major heat.

[@Jayflo7]

Jimmy Garvin was a great worker, with great personality, with a hot valet too go along with. If he had been around in the late 90s and early 2000s ole Jimmy could have been world champ. Back in his prime, most promoters would not give a guy his size a chance at the world title.

[@Catman580]

He’s still the world’s greatest wrestler and it’s not his fault.

[@flstffatboy3910]

Jimmy was so badass too cool

[@ruthlittle2062]

Liked old Jimmy I knew him and Chris Adams angle would be brought up that was a great angle back in the day thanks hannibal great shoot.

[@stevep4574]

The Von Erichs, the Kennedy's of wrestling.

[@greatesttoysevermade3693]

Got to meet Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin a few years ago and he was a cool guy. I asked him about Sunshine and he told me she still lives in Florida but has totally put her pro wrestling past behind her and doesn’t do conventions.

[@seanfitzpatrick9392]

It's a shame she doesn't do interviews like these. I was a fan of hers back in the day and I'd love to hear her stories from World Class and the UWF.

[@kellysalinas7478]

He lived in Hurst, Tx, a few blocks from me when I was growing up. Really strange to see him and the Freebirds walking around his front yard.

[@dmenace4life]

Met him years ago in Jackson, MS super nice guy talked to everybody and IT'S NOT HIS FAULT! In fact when he wrestled Iron Sheik on the way to the matches mu uncle got us little American flags to wave at the Sheik during the match Garvin noticed us with our flags and told us to keep it up to tick off Sheik. Good times.

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

His voice sounds the same as he did when he was young!!

[@timothyfrantz9443]

Jimmy and Michael were one of the greatest tag teams of all time!

[@billysikes1374]

It ain't my fault!!!! Gorgeous Jimmy, I have an uncle in Fort Lauderdale that looked identical to him when he had the curly brown hair

[@richboscia1]

When the hell did Jimmy Garvin morph into Gene Okerlund?

[@Lemi-killmister]

Loved Gorgeous J

[@erichoward1731]

The Sharp Dressed Man ZZ Top His entrance music 🎵💪

[@stevemoore2150]

Jimmy workin at Von Erich Ranch for David was one of the greatest.

[@harshtruth5003]

Jim garvin was a great heel

[@director7685]

One of my favorites!! Great guy! My favorite angle was when Ronnie got his face burnt by Cornette. Came to his brothers aid!

[@kidgrebo1]

How do you know? Dude's still alive my guy.

[@delbertprince5302]

I remembered Jimmy Garvin in World Class Championship Wrestling…..

[@tonythomas7916]

Had the biggest crush on precious! Lol

[@mattclassic1855]

Great Interview!! Jimmy has done it all!! Great Stories!!

[@kvinche8120]

Let me get this str8, Ronnie is only 7 to 8 years older and was Jimmy's step dad? How old was Mom and Ronnie when they got married, I can't find anything on google?

[@chrismorgan7494]

Jimmy Garvin's Last Word

[@philipclarke9696]

One of Verne Gagne’s major screwups ( and there were a lot) was not putting the AWA title on Garvin. Like he said, him and Rick had great chemistry and matches. Verne had Rick drop the title to Stan Hansen, due to money from Giant Baba, knowing that Hansen wouldn’t want to drop the belt when it came time.

[@christophermilner1808]

Jimmy danced like the girl in the Sharp Dressed Man video. I believe that's where he got it.

[@cecilwampler8733]

I had an action figure of him when I was a kid. He had so much charisma. I always found him entertaining.

[@spacetruckerdan6827]

JIMMY JAM !!! YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!!!!

[@tonystracener9078]

I remember Jimmy as a skinny dyed blond kid acting as manager of his "brothers" Ronnie and Terrance Garvin.

[@michaelrose5614]

I also remember him as you describe managing Terrence Garvin in Australia in 1973 so he was only 20 or 21 at the time.

[@chriso1585]

Bad Street LEGEND!!!

[@sgzartan]

Congratulations on 50 years of marriage.

[@bigmikey990]

I remember watching Jimmy when I was a little kid I remember when he had the famous hair whatever happened to his long hair and I used to like watching his brother wrestle too Ronnie Garvin

[@geneoverby6033]

Ronnie was his step-dad.

[@norms3913]

Jimmy jams Garvin

[@hezamachine]

Jimmy Garvin looks like Bun E. Carlos from Cheap Trick.

[@bb-gc2tx]

lol he does

[@jarmaincharleston7405]

He can’t remember anything short term Doc must’ve hit him to hard lol

[@GoodBeardDay]

Man I saw this title and thought he died 🤦🏾‍♂️
