Jimmy Garvin Interview
what was it like wrestling for for The Von Erich Family and the workers there ?
JG: it was great. The Von Erichs were great guys. We grew close with them. i have nothing
but good feelings toward the whole family. We were all pulling in the same direction at the same time . The whole territory
, all pulled together on insinct. From the first match to the referee's to everyone. And there has never been a territory
like that . it was like a comet,it only comes by once a lifetime.
