I wouldn't expect Americans to "get" Grado. Especially one who apparently doesn't know the difference between English and Scottish. Americans are the people TNA are struggling to get to tune in. People tune in and see an out of shape guy who rambles and whines and complains who also has no business in a wrestling ring and they're going to tune right back out. Especially when the announcers and other wrestlers are insulting intelligence by suggesting that grado isn't odarg. |

Grado should grow a beard, screenprint his logo on a black T-shirt and buy a pair of black shorts at Walmart.

Not to mention putting this non funny comedy act over one of their best talents in E.LI. Drake is absurd. |

I feel like your comment is a wee bit insulting. The people complaining about him here are the same ones who always complain about humor in pro wrestling. It's a serious business, ya know, no fun allowed! |

they also have a guy called crazzy steve ... Crazy Steve isn't even close to annoying. It's really cool seeing the stuff Crazy Steve and Abyss are doing currently. It brings an unpredictable element to the tag division that TNA had way back when. Grado does nothing and brings nothing to the table. He just rambles and acts like an idiot. i'm not talking about his talent...the name crazzy steve (note the extra z they use) sounds like the name for a crappy backyard wrestler. |

That makes sense. The stable is really cool though. It's nice to see something dark and mysterious on tna. |

Just a friendly reminder that Grado & Drew Galloway had the biggest UK wrestling match in years, attendance wise.
You don't have to like Grado (I personally do), but he is the biggest draw in UK wrestling, so there is value in him still being around in TNA.

I don't really follow UK wrestling, so I had no idea. What was the attendance? |

The entire story leading into the match was centered around Grado's journey to the title, ala Daniel Bryan WM 30. And according to many people who has more knowledge of the UK scene than I do, has repeatedly said that Grado is the biggest star in UK wrestling right now. The attendance for Fear & Loathing was like, 4,000. Which was the biggest attendance for a UK show since Haystacks/Big Daddy in Wembley. And this year's Fear & Loathing is gonna take place in the SSE Hydro, where WWE did NXT Takeover: London. I can't blame you guys for being shocked about Grado's apparent drawing power. I was shocked too tbh. |

The goal for ICW is to draw 13,000 fans in that building. |

Seriously, no one is gonna mention Odarg's Mega Man-esque costume?..
Just to make our beloved childhood hero look even more fat & stupid, I knew somehow Crapcom had a hand in this..

Grado had one of the coolest moments in all of wrestling last year when he won the ICW Championship. He's over big time in the UK. The fact that Grado manages to get audiences of grown men to proudly sing "Like a Prayer" at the top of their lungs is a testament to what he means to UK wrestling at the moment. If you don't like him and don't find him to be funny, that's fine. But it's been proven that Grado can be a valuable asset.
