When wrestling is done right, it's absolutely magical. So fitting that the ultimate underdog Mick Foley is in the ring with Grado for that win. To see somebody get over with a crowd based on having "it" is so fun. As a lifelong wrestling fan I love it . To see how crappy people are booked in other "mainstream" promotions and then compare to what ICW did for Grado, Joe Hendry, Drew and others is reaffirming that this crazy business can still be so much fun is amazing. Thanks for sharing these clips, they serve as a reminder what the business can and will be again .

As much as Grado is an entertaining character it;s good to see they used the chair to beat Galloway. Grado is a good wrestler but Drew is still a monster size wise (a good 6'5-6'7) with the way he is booked in terms of height and around 260 pounds. So having him get the chair kicked back in his face makes sense rather than Grado hitting some big power move.

I think TNA really dropped the ball with him and if he ever makes it to NXT he will be a top guy. He can put on a great show and can actually hold his own in the ring.
