Professional Wrestling Hall of Famer Ronnie Garvin said modern wrestling is "embarrassing to watch" on bustedopenonsiriusxm and revealed he told a local promoter his show "sucks" to his face.
​
"I went to some places to sign autographs, and then they had wrestling after. They wanted me to stay, and it was actually embarrassing to watch. I had one guy who's a promoter. He said, 'What do you think?' He had 20 people that came to the matches. I said, 'It sucks. It's horrible. I wouldn't even put that in front of kids.'"
​
"They call it wrestling, but nobody takes a hold. It's okay to kick, punch, and sometimes chairs, whatever. But that's a big plus when you're wrestling somebody that's been in the business and they keep you in the ring 50 minutes."
​
Garvin said he never talked in the ring in his entire career: "I watched a match about six months ago. I could hear them talk in the ring, and I was about 20 feet away. I'm going, 'Oh my God, what are they doing?'"
​
"The first thing you do when you go into a wrestling ring, stand there like you're going to a real fight. Be snug, real snug. And when people start believing in the fight, that's when you got them."
​
"Guys start going outside on the floor and walking around trying to get some cheap heat with the fans. No. They bought a ticket to see this. They want to see a fight."
