As an emerging performer in the professional wrestling circuit, fans are curious about Griff Garrison and his parents. In his short career so far, Griff has won many admirers through his talents.
The hard-working, talented, and charismatic wrestler is a household name at All Elite Wrestling(AEW) shows.
Fans are noticing his excellent work and talent, and his career growth is expected to be rapid in the coming years.
A native of North Carolina, Griff attended his local Davidson High School. Commencing that, he attended Guilford College and earned a bachelor’s degree in education and history.
Sports were in his DNA early on as he played high school and college football as a wide receiver.
However, Griff transitioned into professional wrestling in 2016, wrestling in smaller promotions based out of North Carolina.
In 2019, he made his Ring of Honor(ROH) debut. Since then, he has also appeared in AEW.
His stints in AEW have primarily been in squash matches or involved in tag team wrestling. Fans of the wrestler certainly hope he will get a solo storyline very soon.
As for his personal life, he is active on Instagram (@griffgarrison). Usually, he posts snaps from his shows or personal life moments on the social media platform.
Griff Garrison Parents
Griff Garrison was born to parents Michael Garrison and Sandi Garrison. Unlike many professional wrestlers, Griff doesn’t come from a wrestling family.
From his social media posts, Griff is exceptionally close with his parents. He usually shares pictures on their birthday or posts funny dance clips with them.
Undoubtedly, he shares a strong family bond. The support from his parents has helped him navigate the competitive world of professional wrestling.
Not coming from a family with a wrestling background is considered a disadvantage in pro wrestling.
However, a strong family bond like Griff’s has turned it into his strength rather than weakness.
The family togetherness especially shines through in the videos of the three doing funny dances with Griff, which used to be posted on Instagram.
His family members can also be seen at wrestling events to watch Griff perform.
All in all, family unity has certainly played a vital role in making Griff the wrestler he is today.
Career Obstacles
Griff has faced and overcome many hurdles in his short professional career to reach where he is.
Unlike most wrestlers, he did not step foot in the ring in his formative years. He was playing other sports like college football.
Starting late, time was not on the side of Griff. Additionally, he did not get a gig at a big company straight away.
Instead, he had to show his talents in the independent circuit wrestling for smaller promotions.
Griff had to shine through with the little chances he got in the smaller shows; however, finally, in 2019, ROH took notice of the talented wrestler.
Additionally, his stints at AEW have also been a mixed bag. Initially, he was a jobber and would participate in squash matches.
However, following that, he has had some good storylines in tag team wrestling, most notably with Brian Pillman Jr.
Injuries have also been a thorn in his path, with him undergoing long-term surgeries keeping him out of action.
Overall, although he has had a stop-start career so far, fans still believe in his talent and want to see him appear more on AEW shows.
