While the WWF had Randy Savage and Elizabeth, the NWA had “Gorgeous” Jimmy Garvin and Precious. Garvin played the egotistical pretty boy heel perfectly and there was no doubt that wrestling fans believed that Garvin was the arrogant character he portrayed on television. Garvin reached his height in popularity with a face turn that resulted in feuds against Kevin Sullivan & Ric Flair. Casual observers saw Garvin & his valets as a Randy Savage knockoff, but Garvin predated the Macho Man, and fans of the NWA, World Class and the AWA never saw him as anything other than an original.
