ICW had absolute lightning in a bottle with Grado. What an amazing period of time for British wrestling.

[@skatewithnomercy]

This event was amazing. I wish the scene was still like this. But selling out happened and speaking out happened

[@BryanMccomb-sg7qw]

And then went to impact and did nothing just imagine 80000 singing that song 😢😢😢😢

[@imnothere220]

The sad thing is that the ingredients are kinda clear, but promotions keep ignoring them. Most mass events like this thrive off creating a degree of connection between the crowd (between themselves) and a focal point. The best way to do this is known lyrics. Everyone doing the same thing. Everyone on the same page. Everyone at that moment connected. The key is sustaining the connection made through the next 20 minutes and that's down to the performer. Its not *that* hard though, but its just never done and most of the time promotions seem positively to do the reverse like cutting off entrance music, having bad non-involved entrance music or just generally preventing the organic build up of atmosphere. You have to get the right music, with the the right cadence and the right "sing along" factor and so on but you need to draw in people and then not let it go. Way too much of wrestling has forgotten that.

[@philbinpar1]

I was in the building that night. This was perfect pro wrestling. The underdog baby face against the heel champion, with the whole crowd RABID. The reaction to the finish was electric. Loved it.

Drew winning in his home country, massive home crowd going nuts, had a massive entrance, like come on, how could they mess that up?

[@connorledwith98]

@@SilentHotdog28 I’m going to All In at Wembley this year, and I’m hoping Jamie Hayter’s injury free by then so she can have a title win on her home turf. Would be an incredible moment. Either that or have Osprey vs Omega for the IWGP title and have Osprey win. Really hope to see a hometown hero get a big win there

[@JamieAubrey]

We all had that one song we picked as a kid as our Theme song, Grado has made it a reality

[@MinorSexualAssault]

I've been a wrestling fan for 16 years and have never seen a man so completely over with every member of a crowd

[@wolfy3]

Grado's entrance just warms the heart

[@therealfnryan26]

The best part of this was the connection he has with the crowd and that even during his entrance they feed on each other. he gets super hyped right at the beginning where he steps back to the entrance like "oh my god" at the reaction then is like "fuckin yes!"

[@thezbreer454]

Man Grado has Dusty Rhodes level charisma

[@DrewKane]

+thezbreer454 I just made a post saying "Grado is like a Scottish Dusty Rhodes" and then scrolled down to see your comment. I am not alone with my thoughts! The Scottish Dream!

[@LumpyAdams]

+thezbreer454 Except Dusty was his own character and Grado has stolen everything he's ever done after another wrestler.

[@MinorSexualAssault]

+Bob Bobby no

[@EnforcerX71]

+Bob Bobby And Dusty admitted he took a lot of his schick on the mic from Superstar Billy Graham. The fact is, almost everyone currently in wrestling is influenced by someone.

[@LumpyAdams]

Um, Dusty and Graham have nothing in common other than they were smooth talkers.. and even if he did say that, it's not as blatant and obvious as this joke.

[@Dmact1000]

He's one of the biggest draws in the world right now. ITS YERSEL!!!

[@erikmchatton]

+RIOTSTARTERB Well he's the biggest draw of an entire country and won the title of the biggest British promotion on the biggest British card in 34 years so....

[@erikmchatton]

Be that as it may he's still one of the biggest draws in the world. Remember Hulk Hogan copied Superstar Billy Graham and Jesse Ventura and had 4 moves. Not saying Grado is Hulk Hogan or anything but...

[@dannielpreto]

+RIOTSTARTERB He drew you here...

[@BigJuicyLemons]

+erikmchatton Just cause he's a draw in the UK doesn't mean he can draw around the world. The only reason this show had buys was because of Foley...he's a draw.

[@philippprowse9492]

One of the all time greatest Wrestling entrances!

[@Randoms620]

I love the fact they're keeping it all low level, keeping it independant and not tiered seating! Growing so much as well and its just great :D

[@SkoveDog]

Dude looks like Patton Oswalt.

[@danielpi8433]

Phenomenal crowd!

[@mfwicbasterd477]

I don't care what anyone says, no matter how many times you watch it, it still hits 😂 Grado rules

[@Panwere36]

This is very much why Dusty Rhodes was such a big draw for a decade and a half. Grado can actually wrestle and take bumps.. while many people who look "cut" like Drew Galloway cannot do many of the basic moves. Drew actually can.. but this is classic throwback to things like when Dusty took the NWA title from Ric Flair. Neither he nor Grado held their titles long, but the impact that at any moment a long reign can end is what sells the action of pro wrestling.

[@ScottishBelly1986]

What a fucking night!!!

[@robertroy92]

Grado walked so Deadpool and Wolverine could fly

[@jackberesford2500]

Remember being there, love coming back to watch this 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 even though I missed the last train home and had to sleep at Central 💁‍♂️

[@LuckyDT]

Thanks WhatCulture to introducing me to this guy, I'm genuinely becoming a fan. The entrance is absolutely amazing, thousands of grown male wrestling fans singing 'Like A Prayer' in unison is strangely....almost beautiful lol.. The man can actually wrestle a bit as well, which proved he's more than just a charismatic entrance. I'm happy to share the good word of Grado to my few wrestling buddies here in New Orleans. Yes, Grado has fans here even! Good on ya m8, its YERSEL! (Did I do it right?)

[@westnile21]

I was also introduced to him thru WCPW & I saw his documentary "The British Wrestler" but I honestly still don't understand his gimmick and why he's so over, can you explain that to me?

[@LuckyDT]

+westnile21 I watched the Vice documentary on him as well. As far as why he's so over, I think it's several reasons. He has a clear and deep love for wrestling, particularly the scene in Britain, and in revitalizing it. That, and the fact that his body type is the antithesis of what most guys look like, and you've got a fan favorite. Add that to the AMAZING Like A Prayer theme, and it just somehow all works. Cheers to the guy for making it all work.

[@westnile21]

LuckyDT I don't like making comparisons to anyone cuz all wrestlers are unique in their own ways but to me I see him like mixed between Scottish Dusty Rhodes (with the singlet and the dancing/strut and the 'everyday common man' physique that he has) & Zac Ryder being as how he got over through the Internet/KZbin just like Ryder did.
