WWE Legend Celebrates With Grado

[@joshuasweeney7864]

"I don't believe in many things, but by fuck I believe in Grado!" That would be a damn good quote for a t shirt

Yeah the Scottish version of Jim Ross

[@bradd6913]

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 .

[@ICWOnline]

Thanks for the support!

[@bobwarna1]

"I don't believe in many things, but by fuck, I believe in Grado!!!!!!" LMFAO

Watched him in TNA and I admit, I wasn't really a fan of his work. Then last night, What Culture announced he singed with wcpw as a 'big' name. I commented, he's not a big name. Then I saw all these people say, search in Grado wins icw title, so I did and... wow! He's definitely a big star in Scotland, he's definitely over. Good luck to the man!

[@ICWOnline]

Us too!

[@rockmusicfan9278]

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.

[@scotthood3706]

That night is still embedded in my mind. I can remember more about that night than Wembley in August!

[@LG-kk7wo]

Are they singing along to his theme song? If so, it's fun over there than WWE.

[@Johmcc11]

+DatShadowGuy Yup we do, we just love Grado that much :D

[@matthewrodgers8034]

+DatShadowGuy Yep. ICW is taking wrestling back to the way it is supposed to be, just pure fun without all of the stupid bullshit. Nothing better than thousands of Scots all screaming Madonna at the top of their lungs with zero fucks given about who knows it. THAT is entertainment. I am actually planning a trip to Scotland so I can get a chance to experience it live.

[@jonathacirilo5745]

lol no. but it was a pretty goof pop for a indy guy on an indy show.

[@Asshat237]

I'm an old American who never watched Impact and didn't know Grado existed until I saw the video of that guy from Cultaholic going fucking bananas when Grado came out at All In. It led me to want to know why. Now I get it. He's over like Rover. He's like literally the Scottish Mick Foley. What a legend.

[@scottmctaggart2704]

[@fletcherraymond4498]

That pop tho for him lol

[@mrfactoryfold]

I've been watching wrestling 99% of my 38 years and this is a top 5 feel good moment. I watched it before ever knowing who grado was and just by the few minutes of this clip I understood his story and genuinely was happy for him. 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.
