Starr/Ace/Grizz
The Turnbuckle Tavern Podcast is powered by a battle-tested brotherhood of lifelong wrestling insiders — Starr, Grizz, and Ace. Starr, known in the ring as Matt Starr, brings 15 years of experience as a professional wrestler, former General Manager of RCW, and the former booker and promoter of Honored Pro Wrestling. Grizz, his best friend and like a brother, spent 17 years in the business as a respected referee before becoming the head promoter and creator of Honored Pro. Rounding out the trio is Ace, Starr’s real-life cousin and brother in arms, who began as a security guard, stepped away, then returned as the head of security and cameraman for Honored Pro. Together, these three are known throughout their region as an unstoppable force in the wrestling world. Now behind the mic, they bring their unmatched chemistry and unfiltered passion to The Turnbuckle Tavern — a podcast that delivers raw, real, and unapologetic takes on the sport they live and breathe.
