I doubt Grogar had anything to do with them before the premier, since Chrysalis and Tirek had only ever heard of him, Tirek when he was young, and Cozy Glow never heard of him at all.

G1 is separate continuity, shown by several differences from Equestria. For instance, G1 Tirek had a completely different style, Scorpan was a human prince he turned into a monster rather than his brother, and he was destroyed. G1 Grogar had a bell that was the source of his power, which was destroyed by North Star ringing another bell, banishing him to the Realm of Darkness. Here it sounds like Gusty took away his bell (whose current status is unknown), weakening him and forcing him into hiding for thousands of years.
