I was a professional wrestler from 1985-2000. since then over 40 of my wrestling friends have died. AMA

Perhaps I have the wrong Terry Garvin, pro wrestler, but according to Wikipedia, you are also dead.

EDIT: He's not dead y'all. Unfortunate coincidence of wrestling names.

I assure you i am not dead.

my actual name is terry simms my stage name was terry garvin

Then would you mind linking to an article with proof you are indeed alive AND who you say you are? Because multiple sources say that who you claim to be is a deceased person.

Here's one:

for a long time he was unaware that there had already been a wrestler called Terry Garvin who basically had the same gimmick

got his last name because of his resemblance with the popular Jimmy Garvin

correctomundo, jerry Jarrett gave me that name, and superstar dundee

Posting for a friend:

I would like to know what it was like being an egregious but "gayer" version of Jimmy Garvin. Would also like to know his thoughts on the infamous Bungee Match from Global.

The beauty character was created by the promotion. I came up with the name "beauty and the beast" because the movie was about to come out from Disney. the character evolved into that sissy-ish style because the fans precieved it as so. which I took and ran with and made it my own plus in the back of my mind I knew I would one day be a "good guy" and theres un written rule is wrestling, the more hated you are as a "heel" the more loved youll be as a "babyface" I always looked at it as if I was acting on a tv show, because I was and the checks made it a lot easier to perform any character asked. as for the bungee match. it was something to see as far as actual danger I preferred watching scaffold matches. I once saw mick foley break his wrists falling off a scaffold in will rogers coliseum it was a horrendous fall.

What wrestling moves are the toughest to execute?

Any stories about the Iron Sheik?

I think shiek is hilarious I remember him as a young person growing and coming through the territory and laughing at his interviews even then. friend did show me his wwf acceptance speech, the only one I have watched but its a classic.

and depending on the size of the wrestler piledrivers a tricky.

How much do you work with your opponent on outlining a match? Do you plan stuff a lot before stepping in the ring or do you go with what feels right as you are wrestling?

it all depends, I always liked calling it in the ring and only talking the finish, if you were wrestling an experienced guy you could do 99 percent in the ring and never talk.

Where does Eddie Gilbert rank as both a wrestler and a booker? Is there an argument for him being the most creative wrestler ever?

Eddie gilbert rates at the top for me because we worked well together, I loved my matches with him, we once wrestled a 60 minutes broadway (no winner) match with him I lost 15 lbs duringthe match from sweating. I always enjoyed eddies ideas and thought he had a real talent for making matches.I think that if his life wasn't cut so short he may have been would of the top bookers of all time, but sadly we'll never know.

What is your favorite book?

anything by Louis L'amour

What do you think of wrestling fans? All deluded morons?

they are certainly a breed all their own, I wouldn't say moron because I collected a paycheck from them. they came from all walks of life, I remember attorneys firemen, policeman and house wives coming to matches, it was a diverse group.

Why was that wrestler named "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin if he had a pot belly, afro, and wore random bow ties to the ring?

easy on jimmy now.

How much crack have you smoked with Jake the Snake?

none. ive never smoked it in my life.

Do you know my cousin Johnny Boone?

......cant say that I do.

Ah, I know he was a professional wrestler for awhile and I believe that's what he called himself in the ring. I just remember he said he didn't wanna wrestle in Puerto Rico because they throw nuts and bolts and shit like that at the "bad guy." He told the recruiter dude that "I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid." He does refereeing now.

I may have known him. but that sounds rather un-enjoyable

DId you know the Von Erics?

yes, scroll around. youll see a bunch

Wich is the biggest sequela that wrestling left on your body ?

what the hell is a sequel?? I was a wrestler not a rocket scientist

SEQUELA

se·quela

1 : an aftereffect of disease, condition, or injury

2 : a secondary result

thank you for the literary lesson and lets just say when I get up in the morning I have to hold the walls to get to the bathroom from the injuries from my years in the ring. you're a plethora of information.

How common are PEDs?
