BEST OF RONNIE GARVIN VOL 1 (First disc in this fabulous 3-disc set covering Ronnie Garvin's
career. This is a tremendous overview of his career, with almost all of the highpoints
covered. VQ is EX throughout, except one or two matches that are VG/EX. Awesome!)
Ronnie Garvin vs Larry Zbyszko, Georgia, 3/10/84 (Contender match - good stuff)
Ronnie Garvin vs Ric Flair, Georgia, 6/17/84 (Flair challenges Garvin for the National TV
title here in one of the dumber booking ideas I've heard of...)
Ronnie Garvin vs Jake Roberts, Georgia, 6/17/84 (Roberts wins National TV title; this was
one of my favorite feuds as a kid, loved this stuff!)
Ronnie Garvin vs Randy Savage, ICW, 6/81 or 6/82 (Cage - Garvin is the heel here)
Ronnie Garvin vs Black Bart, NWA, 6/8/85 (Loser Leaves Town - Bart wins the National title
with an assist from Baby Doll)
Ronnie Garvin vs Ric Flair, NWA, 12/28/85 (Excellent match from quite possibly the best
episode of WCW from the JCP era on TBS)
Ronnie Garvin vs Ric Flair, NWA 2/2/86 (From the Superstars on the Superstation)
Ronnie Garvin vs Arn Anderson, NWA, 4/86 (Tully runs in and they injure Garvin's hand)
BEST OF RONNIE GARVIN VOL 2 (More of the same as above)
RONNIE GARVIN VS TULLY BLANCHARD, NWA, 5/3/86 (Fabulous, hard-to-find, match that took up
the entire hour on Worldwide - in perfect VQ! Dusty tapes up Garvin's hand late in the
match and he KOs Tully to apparently win the National title. Alas, it was not to be...)
Ronnie Garvin vs Black Bart, 9/2/86 (***1/2 - excellent match - couple seconds of video
glitches in this one; Garvin wins Mid-Atlantic title then gets attacked by the Russians)
Ronnie Garvin & Barry Windham vs Ivan Koloff & Khrusher Khruschev, NWA, 12/9/86 (Garvin &
Windham win the US tag titles by pinning Khruschev with his shoulder WAAAAY off the mat)
RONNIE GARVIN & BARRY WINDHAM VS MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, NWA, 12/27/86
Ronnie Garvin & Barry Windham vs Midnight Express, NWA, 2/87 (Jim Cornette runs in and
throws fire in Garvin's face, leading to Jimmy Garvin turning face and attacking the MX
in their dressing room. Stuff like this showcases JCP at its best.)
RONNIE GARVIN & BARRY WINDHAM VS MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, NWA, 5/16/87 (the Midnights win the US
tag title in this excellent tournament final)
Ronnie & Jimmy Garvin vs Ric Flair & Lex Luger, NWA, 6/27/87

Ronnie Garvin training video, NWA, 9/87
RONNIE GARVIN VS RIC FLAIR, NWA, 9/25/87 (Cage - Garvin wins the NWA World title on a show
I CHOSE NOT TO ATTEND. Yes, I am not smart.)
RONNIE GARVIN VS RIC FLAIR, NWA, 11/26/87 (Cage - Flair wins the NWA World title. They did
such an awesome job on the sound with this match - the ring is well-mic'ed and the slaps
from the always-stiff Garvin & Flair exchanges are amplified as a result. Lots and lots
of cringe-worthy shots in this one. Great stuff!)
Ronnie Garvin vs Greg Valentine, WWF, 9/30/89 (Super-stiff slugfest from MSG)
Ronnie Garvin vs Curt Hennig, WWF, 12/12/89
