Grado is an entrance, and he doesn't have that entrance now. So now he is just an annoying comedy character.

I have no idea why TNA has this guy around. I thought he might be there for the UK crowd on that recent tour, but why on earth bring him to the States? Further, why on earth would you have him qualify for the 3 way for the X Division title? Regardless of whether you think this guy has anything, everyone should admit him winning the X Division title is a total fiasco.

Some people here forgot Cody Deaner, now he was the clear epitome of garbage... Deaner made me laugh, Garbo makes me want to throw something through my TV.

No.
Just no.
Grado couldn't hold Dusty's muffler if he had 3 hands covered in super glue. If anything, he's William Hung. Amusing for a while before wishing the sumbitch goes away.

I've met him a few times working some shows where i sell merchandise,, nicest guy out of all of them, he sells a shitload of those caps. And he's over, no denying that.

I've not been following Grado (although I know he has something of a fanbase), so I checked out this week's Impact to see whether he matched up to this thread's suggestion.
What I got was roughly what would result if you threw Crash Holly (weight obsession/enthusiasm), Santino Marella (comedy/failure to prove self), Jerry Lawler (some of his in-ring style) and a Scottish accent in a blender.
That is to say perhaps not what you'd think of when someone says "X-Division Champion", but a serviceable comedy character, he didn't strike me as intolerably offensive or "get this guy off my TV" and if it's any indication of why people like him I don't think I can blame them. Don't think he'd be a favourite of mine, but I've seen much worse, and he can only get better, right?
I vaguely recall seeing him in VICE's "The British Wrestler" and not being convinced. Having just scrubbed through BBC Scotland's "Insane Fight Club" and "Insane Fight Club II" as well to figure out which documentary I'd seen him in before, my opinion wasn't much different. Having said that I think in the context of TNA (not intended to be veiled insult) I think he works, I didn't dislike his Impact performance, I think perhaps being on TNA rounds off some of his rougher edges and tones down some of the stereotypical rough Scots brashness.

At least when Abyss won the X-Division title, it was supposed to make a mockery of the Division, and it actually had a payoff in the end. Grado makes a mockery of the Division, and we are supposed to cheer it. That's the difference.

Give him Rebel, Rebel as Grados valet would be an upgrade over being the Dollhouse whooping girl. But then who will Taryn use her fake porn star moan voice on. Drew?

Long time ago, i remember this young chap appeared on my televisual screen.
he wasn't that talented, but he had IT, that intangible thing that connects him to the fans, the X factor if you will.
that man was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
now Grado, he, he has limited talent but he also has IT.
yup, thats right on a public forum im comparing Grado to the Rock.
he doesn't need to be defended.

He's a take off on Ned (Non-educated delinquent) culture in the Glasgow area of Scotland.
Seems like a niche gimmick for an American wrestling show though.

I wont be surprised if Grado turns heel in the process, he might used as fodder for the Pope(once he returns to the ring).
