Grado has come so far since this film. He just appeared at ALL IN wembley stadium in front of 80,000 plus people!

[@declancairns2083]

People need to realise that wrestling is big in Britain, you don't need to like it but respect the people actually harming themselves for the people that do. Its not all do it for the kids with promotions like ICW, its trying to give something other than the shite on the tv today. Which is much better than it was before but ICW still offers something more than the big boys and to come from nothing in a country with 300 million less people than the USA then you have to praise it.

[@s.l.msedits7290]

ICW is big because it is a night out on sunday night in Glasgow and people just do not want to go to that same old pub

[@declancairns2083]

trust me, the garage is the same old pub when you are in glasgow

[@ericseitzler81]

The USA only has like 331 million people in it btw, people think because our country is so big that the population is huge but it really isn't.

Crazy how far Rockstar Spud has come, he went from small indie shows to WWE 205 live general manager.

[@RemainRealProductions]

Wolfgang saying he doesn't wanna join the WWE and now he is a part of the WWE. Incredible.

[@georgestewart7658]

I like Grado he's overcome all those hurdles yes it's been an up hill battle but he's well known in the UK he's got something that the fans like 👍

[@goibee]

You know what, I always thought wrestling was stupid, but now when I look at this documentary its almost endearing. A group of people getting together, willfully suspending disbelief so that they can enjoy a "show", a type of "show" that can only happen if everyone sits there sub-conciously and goes "you know what, i know this is fake, but I want to join in the story that everyone else here is telling. I want to also tell the story so I can enjoy the story". It's like a play but with more interaction

[@HeyitsJacobLOL]

That's the mindset you have to have when watching it. Trust me as a guy who has wrestled it is hard. Plus there's is no off season. Their doing it for loads of days. Many reasons why some people get injured. I love wrestling for the atmosphere and storytelling. I always respect wrestlers. They are putting their bodies at risk, JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT As a guy who has passion for wrestling. It insults me that people think it's fake. It's just a story. People like me have worked with making our characters and working really hard to make it.

[@Noctren]

Jacob LOL Well Fucking Put Lads.

[@stevenladnyk4526]

You’re right. And I wouldn’t say fake. Those bumps and falls still hurt to an extent and the injuries are very real. It’s more scripted. But it’s entertainment. Movies are scripted too but we don’t call it fake. We call it entertaining.

watching in 2017. Wolfgang said he didn't wanna go to WWE but that's exactly what he did lol.

[@anthonyeconomou6954]

Yeah, ICW got bigger and Wolfgang got bigger with it. Now, people are rallying for him to be on NXT

[@davidscott8310]

Clearly some people genuinely take all this at face value and think all these guys are idiots, look into their history, dig a little and you'll find all these people are trying to do is entertain and earn money in a job they enjoy, watch the BBC documentary about them.

[@HidesOurFace]

This is why I love UK wrestling over American stuff. Character and tallent mean more than how muscular you are.

[@HobgoblinHero]

Its crazy seeing this, 2014, Wolfgang says he never wants to make it to the WWE. Flash forward to 2017 and there he is, WWE UK Championship Tournament, nearly going the distance and winding up signed to NXT

[@tonymarshall3978]

That’s the guy that runs insane wrestling in Scotland and it was to show his anger at calling wrestling fake when it actually has pepole beating the shit out of one another

[@vitalwitness8871]

Before you idiots say wrestling is fake, don't watch wwe, watch some indy shows. It's predetermined, but the shit fucking hurts and the wrestlers don't hold back

[@Baboonery_]

the thing is that it's still FAKE. it's a work. It's a slap in the face of true "amateur" wrestlers

[@vitalwitness8871]

ArthurKnoqOut yet professional wrestlers put their body on the line more. Pro wrestlers endure just as much pain (if not more) as amateur wrestlers

[@maximus0307]

Vital Witness they abuse their bodies from their over use of drugs and alcool, notfrom actually practicing a harder sport...

[@vitalwitness8871]

david maltais I'm glad you at least have the intelligence to use grammar correctly, oh wait..... Last time I checked amateur wrestles don't take thumbtacks to the back and flaming barbed wire bats to the face. Just stfu before you embarrass yourself further with your lack of knowledge of the world of professional wrestling

[@vitalwitness8871]

david maltais oh wow, I like your knowledgable insight on pro wrestling. grow the fuck up, the tights and makeup shtick is so old, it's pathetic that you trolls aren't even original anymore lol

[@Jedi-For-Hire]

Idk if anybody got that bit where Grado was saying "I remember in the locker room looking at the old guys like they were old dogs" "Like hey Spot". It's from the wrestling documentary beyond the mat.

[@Close.Quarters.Ramen.]

I just left a comment about that before I saw yours, I can't believe they dramatized that.

[@RemainRealProductions]

Pro wrestling is real, and it is the hardest business in the world. I am bound to get hate for this, but I am right, you are wrong.

[@ashtoontv8151]

TheGEGgaming even eating is harder than fake wrestling

[@timthompson2358]

dodgy Dogz Its fake in the same way cirque du soleil is fake. Pro Wrestling isnt a sport, but you cant say these guys aren't athletes. Wrestlers are thrown around like rag dolls multiple times a week for people entertainment. You dont have to like wrestling, but you should be able to respect the athletic feats these performers are able to accomplish. And if you really think wrestling is that easy, go do it. It looks like great money for a part time gig.

[@timthompson2358]

ivosnivo Comparing ProWrestling and Combat sports is apples and oranges. The argument that pro-wrestling is tougher is because of how often pro-wrestlers are expected to work. Compare Floyd Maywether and John Cena. In 2014 Maywether had 2 matches, while Cena preformed some where around 200 times. Of course wrestling is easier on the body then fighting, but the schedule has got to be demanding on the body in a way I cant even imagine. Getting thrown off the top rope on to your back on monday and having to get up tuesday and do it again seems just insane. And thats a kind of insanity you just gotta stand back and respect.

[@toxicwaste003]

because some people might struggle to hear/understand him properly due to his accent
