Patti Williams
Patti Williams was a
professional wrestling valet in the 1980's best known as
Precious.
Patti Williams(born in
1955 in
Ontario) started her wrestling career as the valet for her real-life husband (
Jimmy Garvin) in
World Class Championship Wrestling in
1983 under the name of
Precious.
She replaced his previous valet,
Sunshine(Garvin's Cousin), causing a feud and many catfights in the ring between the two.
She went with Garvin to the
AWA and then to the
NWA's
Jim Crockett Promotions. In the NWA, she was spanked on TV by
Magnum T.A. in 1986 (right before his career-ending accident), hounded by
Ric Flair in 1987 and stalked by
Kevin Sullivan in 1988.
Flair gave her gifts trying to woo her and when it didn't work, won a match with Garvin for a date with Precious. The Garvin family had
Ron Garvin dress up as "Miss Atlanta Lively" to show up for the date instead, and he promptly dealt with Flair and his manager
James J. Dillon.
Sullivan kept saying he had something that she wanted to see on some papers or knew something she wanted to know. The mind games continued on until Garvin had his leg "broken" by Sullivan and
Mike Rotunda and they had to leave TV for awhile.
Garvin returned without her in 1989 and she did make a brief appearance for him and
Michael Hayes as the President of "
Fabulous Freebirds, Inc." while they wrestled for
WCW.
Patti is now retired with Garvin and they have two daughters.
