ICW had absolute lightning in a bottle with Grado. What an amazing period of time for British wrestling.
This event was amazing. I wish the scene was still like this. But selling out happened and speaking out happened
And then went to impact and did nothing just imagine 80000 singing that song 😢😢😢😢
The sad thing is that the ingredients are kinda clear, but promotions keep ignoring them. Most mass events like this thrive off creating a degree of connection between the crowd (between themselves) and a focal point. The best way to do this is known lyrics. Everyone doing the same thing. Everyone on the same page. Everyone at that moment connected. The key is sustaining the connection made through the next 20 minutes and that's down to the performer. Its not *that* hard though, but its just never done and most of the time promotions seem positively to do the reverse like cutting off entrance music, having bad non-involved entrance music or just generally preventing the organic build up of atmosphere. You have to get the right music, with the the right cadence and the right "sing along" factor and so on but you need to draw in people and then not let it go. Way too much of wrestling has forgotten that.
When greado showed up at all in they dropped the ball by not playing this tune
@@garethjones2390 there's a thing called licensing.
4,000 people singing Madonna, that is insane. LOL
And don't forget, the majority of those are hard-drinking Scotsmen lol!!
+Jack Sledge IV I bet it didn't even sound that good when she performed last month at The Hydro lol
+Shane Stephens speaking as a hard drinking scot, he could have puyt on im a barbie girl and everyone would have sang along lmao
not really, she;s remained relevant after all these years, it's not like she's 90s defunct act Janet jackson or some shit like that.
01superchunk can of coke, mate!! Lol
Grado walked so Deadpool and Wolverine could fly
I still come back to this, years later, because it’s one of my all time favourite entrances in any promotion
Gradoberg is up there anaw
Grado had the best wrestling entrance.
Same. The song came up on Apple Music this morning, and I immediately thought of Grado and needed to relive it!
Looks like we will see this in late august
We need this at Wembley
Grado is like a Scottish Dusty Rhodes, a fucking living legend.
kinda, but less sucessful and good at promos.
Guvnor
@@chrisolagrim3597 guvnor?
He is the modern-day "Big Daddy" Shirley Crabtree.
"Sing it loud, HERE! IS! GRADOOOOO!" What a phenomenal call.
The fact that he had so many Scottish men marking out and singing along to Madonna is incredible lmao.
New national anthem
We all had that one song we picked as a kid as our Theme song, Grado has made it a reality
I was in the building that night. This was perfect pro wrestling. The underdog baby face against the heel champion, with the whole crowd RABID. The reaction to the finish was electric. Loved it.
Two years later it's Drew as the underdog Roman going into Cardiff as champion
@@irwincardozo6713 Which was ruined, they had a golden opportunity to have Reigns drop the titles....or even 1, maybe Heyman coould work his magic and say "I wrote a secret clause into the contract that the match was only for one title". Drew winning in his home country, massive home crowd going nuts, had a massive entrance, like come on, how could they mess that up?
@@SilentHotdog28 I’m going to All In at Wembley this year, and I’m hoping Jamie Hayter’s injury free by then so she can have a title win on her home turf. Would be an incredible moment. Either that or have Osprey vs Omega for the IWGP title and have Osprey win. Really hope to see a hometown hero get a big win there
I've been a wrestling fan for 16 years and have never seen a man so completely over with every member of a crowd
Vince should take notes
16 years...you missed all the good shit.
Chris Jericho, AEW first year.
You're not wrong pal
Sandman?
Grado's entrance just warms the heart
Man Grado has Dusty Rhodes level charisma
+thezbreer454 I just made a post saying "Grado is like a Scottish Dusty Rhodes" and then scrolled down to see your comment. I am not alone with my thoughts! The Scottish Dream!
+thezbreer454 Except Dusty was his own character and Grado has stolen everything he's ever done after another wrestler.
+Bob Bobby no
+Bob Bobby And Dusty admitted he took a lot of his schick on the mic from Superstar Billy Graham.
The fact is, almost everyone currently in wrestling is influenced by someone.
Um, Dusty and Graham have nothing in common other than they were smooth talkers.. and even if he did say that, it's not as blatant and obvious as this joke.
The best part of this was the connection he has with the crowd and that even during his entrance they feed on each other. he gets super hyped right at the beginning where he steps back to the entrance like "oh my god" at the reaction then is like "fuckin yes!"
He's one of the biggest draws in the world right now. ITS YERSEL!!!
+RIOTSTARTERB Well he's the biggest draw of an entire country and won the title of the biggest British promotion on the biggest British card in 34 years so....
Be that as it may he's still one of the biggest draws in the world. Remember Hulk Hogan copied Superstar Billy Graham and Jesse Ventura and had 4 moves. Not saying Grado is Hulk Hogan or anything but...
+RIOTSTARTERB He drew you here...
+erikmchatton Just cause he's a draw in the UK doesn't mean he can draw around the world. The only reason this show had buys was because of Foley...he's a draw.
+RIOTSTARTERB true but the guy is really unique, the it factor for sure, and you can't teach that
Imagine everyone signing his theme at wrestlemania
How about Wembley
@readeroftruths9113 well jeff jarrett just cracked him over the head on talksport radio this week with his guitar so we might get that entrance.
Dude looks like Patton Oswalt.
still give chills seven years later
One of the all time greatest Wrestling entrances!
1:00 You can see the security guard singing LOL
Phenomenal crowd!
I don't care what anyone says, no matter how many times you watch it, it still hits 😂 Grado rules
What a fucking night!!!
wtf xD This made my day thanks! :D
@ImAnderZEL thought this was someone trying to impersonate you but it's really you lol!
+ImAnderZEL confirmed! Anderz favorite wrestler is Grado.
you like wrestling Ander that's awesome
@ImAnderZEL did not expect to find you here! But I'm pleased you are!
Gradoberg entrance better lol
This is very much why Dusty Rhodes was such a big draw for a decade and a half. Grado can actually wrestle and take bumps.. while many people who look "cut" like Drew Galloway cannot do many of the basic moves. Drew actually can.. but this is classic throwback to things like when Dusty took the NWA title from Ric Flair. Neither he nor Grado held their titles long, but the impact that at any moment a long reign can end is what sells the action of pro wrestling.
I love the fact they're keeping it all low level, keeping it independant and not tiered seating! Growing so much as well and its just great :D
People know this song because of Deadpool and Wolverine.
But I've known this song for a long time just cause of Grado.
Grado seriously is a gem of ICW. He'll be bigger in the future I can see it.
Remember being there, love coming back to watch this 💙🏴 even though I missed the last train home and had to sleep at Central 💁♂️
It is rare to see a face so freaking over in a crowd that's super in to it. I don't care what promotion this is, I wanna slam some Scottish beer and mark out at this event
Us too!
They were all there for Grado, and ICW did not disappoint! Still their best moment of all time!
I get chills every time I see this video
Thanks WhatCulture to introducing me to this guy, I'm genuinely becoming a fan. The entrance is absolutely amazing, thousands of grown male wrestling fans singing 'Like A Prayer' in unison is strangely....almost beautiful lol.. The man can actually wrestle a bit as well, which proved he's more than just a charismatic entrance. I'm happy to share the good word of Grado to my few wrestling buddies here in New Orleans. Yes, Grado has fans here even!
Good on ya m8, its YERSEL! (Did I do it right?)
I too I have been introduced too grado thru wcpw and must say I'm fan.
+chzhead 228 to*
I was also introduced to him thru WCPW & I saw his documentary "The British Wrestler" but I honestly still don't understand his gimmick and why he's so over, can you explain that to me?
+westnile21 I watched the Vice documentary on him as well. As far as why he's so over, I think it's several reasons. He has a clear and deep love for wrestling, particularly the scene in Britain, and in revitalizing it. That, and the fact that his body type is the antithesis of what most guys look like, and you've got a fan favorite. Add that to the AMAZING Like A Prayer theme, and it just somehow all works. Cheers to the guy for making it all work.
LuckyDT I don't like making comparisons to anyone cuz all wrestlers are unique in their own ways but to me I see him like mixed between Scottish Dusty Rhodes (with the singlet and the dancing/strut and the 'everyday common man' physique that he has) & Zac Ryder being as how he got over through the Internet/UA-cam just like Ryder did.
I fuckin love pro wrestling. The interaction between performer and audience is so much fun.
He deserves to be at All In
Jarrett in the ring usual anti British crap then....this hits, 80,000 in unison.
@eddsup041980 Guess what? You were right! No Madonna entrance but close enough 😢
@@stevensaidsomething yeah :,( still got an amazing fozzy gig, and ospreys entrance was fantastic.
4000 people are the SECC this year. 10,000 at The Hydro next year.
Luath you weren't that far off. I believe the number was around 7500?
WWE only get 8k ish so ICW wont get 90% of the arena
Deke Games 8k? For what? Wwe goes to arenas so its more like 10-16 thousand. Depending on the arena.
I have already watched this 100 times
"listen to this!"- continues to talk over the crowd
Man was living the dream hahahaha go ahead Grado
He should go to AEW Tony Kahn ain't shy about licensed music
I always come back to this video,, it’s just perfect 🤌🏾
I too
Now thats a lot of fun. I can't say I know the guy, but that song? The catchy chorus, the energy he brings, just a great package entrance. I'd have a ball being in that crowd, and again, I don't even know the wrestler. Wrestling can be so much fun sometimes
Thanks for watching and letting us introduce you to Grado!
Imagine this at f’n Wembley…
Has to happen
Let’s fucking go!
While the song didn't happen, it was HYPE to have him there to help shut down JJ.
the crowd and grado already pumped before the match even started :D
I ,somehow, randomly came here after watching deadpool and wolverine trailer💀❤
He should do this entrance at Wembley for ALL-IN
I've seen ALOT of entrances and this tops them ALL!!!!!
We agree! Thanks for watching!
full sail crowd would sing along this?
Full Sail crowd would sing along to anything as long as it was played for them.
Sebastian Martinez Madonna wouldn’t let her song be used by wwe.
@@TheNaturalPatHarris she would for the right amount of money
Reece McCabe isn’t she dead? Or Is that the other chick? I have no idea.
Only few will understand but Grado is one of the absolute best at captivating a crowd. He deserves so much more in the world of pro wrestling
Best night of my life!
You was there
this guy is actually so entertaining
slapnuts isn’t ready for grado
There are those special moments when you can just feel that connection between the wrestler and the audience. Daniel Bryan when he won the title, Dolph Ziggler cashing in his MITB, and GRADO making his way to the ring for this.
What a predict of the more popular songs in 2024
I think I was the only one in the theater when the song hit for Deadpool and Wolverine... that cheered and yelled "Grado!"
ITS SO AMAZING, Great to see lots of other people enjoying it too
Watching in 2024 for the many times! Crowd was insane!
Why have I never heard of this guy before? He's fucking amazing!
So glad this was made available somewhere with the sound on, very very cool.
ICW came to Belfast last weekend and the place blew up when he came out, 500 people singing like a prayer in sync
Conor Grennan when was that
Wwe Rvd it was probably last year when Big Damo won the ICW World Championship
Imagine this at All In
Perfect example of when a commentator should just be quiet and let the magic run its course.
I’m pleased it’s not just me, this commentator persistently talked over Joe Hendrys entrance songs too.
8 years ago. It’s moments like these that kept me a wrestling fan even though the big promotions weren’t doing that well. Now pro wrestling is hotter than ever and it’s also thanks to promotions like ICW that kept indie wrestling alive.
The man who got me back into pro wrestling
Im already imagining this at Wembley, a man can dream
This is actually magical.
Id fucking pay to see this in AEW 15 OR 20K SINGING THIS comes in to save one of the good guys..... damn the chills
The heart and soul of ICW
THIS is how you get over!
They get him for All In and 90k people inside Wembley doing this would be absolutely goosebumps.
Looks like it’s going to happen
Grado Vs Colt needs to happen at AllIn
It's weird to think that this theme hitting would be the biggest pop in history if heard in WWE and that would be pretty awesome
With an entrance like that and an interactive crowd it makes me proud to be from UK.
We know how to do it better than any other country! 🎉
you guys get better together than we can, love the uk crowds in wrestling
@@flameskull70 appreciate it! Don’t get me wrong, some of your hardcore fan base over the pond also know how to show a good time.
We just take it to the next level, like for example listen to the difference between NFL chants and the Premier League chants, we can be toxic fuckers I must admit 😂
@ElonMusksRealFace oh fuck, the clips I see of the fans for the league is insane. How quick yall get together is insane. Can't wait to see the aew all in ppv over there. Yall gonna be nuts. Appreciate the reply. Much love ❤️
GO ON YERSEL GRADO
WATP
I started watching this everyday dafuq
i was here cleaning up after the event, it was a amazing time
Man that strut work is fucking on point
Peak strut
That's got to be an amazing feeling.
Omg the announcer moved to grados thriller. XD
This is what "over" looks like. Incredible!
The best
1:22 ON YERSELF SON, ON YERSELF!
You gotta hand out to icw.They have arguably the best wrestling product in the world.Well done to them.Upwards and onwards
Icw was so so good back in the day.
The original Joe Hendry
Bare goosebumps watching this when the crowd joins in its fucking epic
That's one amazing crowd
I'm just discovering Grado and I am just in awe of that entrance I've watched it 40 times...still have yet to actually watch a match tho
Now that Joe is making NXT appearances, maybe we'll also get Grado
That is the most organic monster pop I have ever heard. Just an amazing, beautiful thing.
LIFE IS A MYSTERY!!!
Sing it
WWE needs this man
Great entrance 😍
Great crowd 😍😍
AEW could have blown the roof of Wembley if they did this.
Imagine this at Mania
AMAZING :) Who ever disliked this video deserves a WEE BOOT!!! Please put a video of the Pop Grado got when he won :) Biggest Pop I have witnessed in a long, long time!
IC DUB, IC DUB!!!
he's not the most gifted wrestler but he's entertaining its all about having fun with Grado and Joe Hendry
He and Joe ard part of WCPW now
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.
Imagine him in AEW with this theme. I would absolutely love to lose my voice to this live with 20k+ fans lol
this is why i love wrestling at 20 years old and one day maybe perform in the ring
Do it. One day, you'll regret never stepping foot in the squared circle. When I grow old, I don't want to say that I never gave it a shot in the ring. I'm working on it currently. It's gonna take a shitload of effort, training, and sacrifice, but I'll not regret doing whatever it takes just to have ONE MATCH.
I miss this era on British wrestling and independent wrestling in general😢
Still to this day... the best walk on ever
I'll be honest when I first saw Grado I didn't really care for him but he has grown on me over the years. I'm glad to say that I am now a huge fan of GRADO!
TheAtrain513 same
Wrestling used to be so good. This was a glimmer of what it could be again. Don’t be silly. Don’t fly all over heck. Don’t rush everything. Tell me a story. Let me get lost in the action.
I hope he gets a royal rumble or wrestlemania moment 1 day.
