Rants

Rugged Ron

By Scott Keith on 20 December 2012


Hey Scott,

Why was Ron Garvin a ring announcer/referee in 1989?

Man's gotta have some kind of backup plan if his wrestling career ended early.
Real answer: It was just an angle so that Garvin could torment Greg Valentine while "suspended" and keep that dull midcard feud going. I think Garvin was injured and they wanted to keep him on TV. The matches were actually pretty good because they weren't afraid to wallop the shit out of each other, at least.
