Grado is a bonafide Internet sensation on in Scotland and England. Largely a comedy wrestler and without much of a physique to speak of, he captured the hearts of wrestling fans on both sides of the pond with his appearance in a Vice documentary called “The British Wrestler,” as well as an appearance in a BBC documentary. His goofy personality is infectious and netted him legions of fans.
British indie wrestler Grado has the best entrance in sports
Goldberg meets Madonna. Just like we always imagined.
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
He also has what may just be the most fun and entertaining entrance in all of sports (entertainment). This video, from Sunday night’s event at Insane Championship Wrestling event, captures what it’s like to be there when Grado makes his slow backstage entrance, complete with Goldberg’s music and “GRAAAYYYY-DOUGH” chants, before the crowd starts a massive sing-along for the intro to Madonna’s “Like a Prayer.” Then: DANCE PARTY.
Just a reminder: go to a local indie wrestling show. They can be a LOT of fun.
