Look at this goober. He looks like one of those guys you'd see Terry Funk beat the daylights out of to send a message to Flair. Or somebody you'd see in a music video from a wannabe rapper.
Seriously, tattoos, sleeveless jersey, backwards cap?

Grado was the subject of the Vice documentary The Scottish Wrestler.
Even you you dislike him or just haven't come to a decision yet, it's a pretty important piece of recent wrestling media:

Seriously, tattoos, sleeveless jersey, backwards cap? He did a streamie with Flair in the bog once. Asked him for his autograph. Ric was all "get tae fook" and told D'Lo about him

I was at the Wembley shows last month and I think I was the only person in the arena who didn't have a clue who this Grado was, everyone else were going crazy for him I actually thought it was Colt Cabana until he got closer to the ring.

He will get a womanizer gimmick, as "Playboy" Grado.

I haven't been to Glasgow in awhile, but I'd like to see Grado's entrance live. I think he's a great local hero, and having him on TNA Wrestling is a great idea, especially since the UK is a huge market for them. One issue though the Like a Prayer deal, but I'm sure they could get a cover of the song. The UK is completely different, like, they could air the Like a Prayer song. Another issue is TNA kinda not doing anything to build up Grado, and how popular he is in the UK. They put garbage on TV instead of getting the angle over that this regular guy Grado is one of the biggest stars in the UK currently, and have Al Snow or someone else bury or whatever and build up who this guy is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBtGFaa0idY

There's a twitter campaign going on to get Madonna to let Grado use Like a Prayer on TV for this week on Impact. They can do it in the UK, but can't in the States. It's #SayYesMadonna. Might not work, but the entrance is pretty fun. I haven't been to Glasgow in a few years, but I'd love to go back to see the entrance live.
Like, he's a local hero, and I feel that every time Impact goes back to The UK, he should be one of the featured stars, at least for the tour.

Grado is great. Best entrance in all of wrestling too. I second this. Grado rules.

Grado's good people, always fun company before, during and after shows. Of course he's nowhere near being the best wrestler in the world, but he draws you in, and it's always a fun time when he's out there.
The irony of this Madonna thing, by the way, is that he actually uses a cheap cover version of the song, though he did still have to contact Madonna and the relevant writers/publishers to allow the song onto the US transmission of IMPACT. Hope he's able to have it happen.
Funny thing is he's actually in North America this weekend - Cleveland tomorrow, Toronto on Saturday and Hamilton on Sunday.

Guess TNA is going to have to go with the Serg knockoff for tomorrow's Impact because Madonna isn't signing off use of her song without money exchanging accounts. Especially after 12th hour notice.

Grado is a "local hero" only to people who have never actually set foot in Glasgow.

I think Grado must be a UK thing. I've seen a couple of his matches and I just don't get how he's entertaining.
