"Rugged" Ronnie Garvin
Real name: Roger Barnes
Hometown: Charolette, NC
A.K.A.: Mr. Knoxville
Membership: Superstars, the 4X4s, the Garvin Brothers
Finisher: Knockout Punch
Background: A hero in one place can be a zero somewhere else.
Ronnie Garvin had been a local legend down south, often fighting Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen; even beating the former briefly. Hoping to find a place where the fighting was good and Flair free, Garvin headed north.
He was in the big city about five minutes before he picked a fight with Greg "the Hammer" Valentine. He had a few big moments but for the most part he was regulated to the back of group shots. He formerly resigned from the Superstars in 1990.
