TheDoctor's latest favourite Grado wrestler has gotten his campaign trending on social media.
The Scottish wrestling personality will be appearing on episodes of TNA Impact in the coming weeks. When the shows were taped, he used his usual theme tune of 'Like A Prayer' by Madonna, a theme tune used by Tired first. While Madonna's record company permitted him to use the theme for live shows, they refuse to let him use it on television. So his entrance (and celebration if he wins) must be edited. So Grado started the #SayYesMadonna campaign in hopes of getting permission before the show airs in the UK on Sunday.
This may present a particular problem for Grado. A huge part of his appeal has been his loud personality. As seen on TNA British Boot Camp 2, he uses his energetic ring entrance to whip fans into a frenzy. His poor stamina, bad conditioning and limited moves set makes it difficult to put on exciting matches. Al Snow recently suggested in an interview that Grado's ring entrance was his only selling point.
Grado was initially kicked off British Bootcamp at the very first audition. He won over the judges at the initial interview, but then showed up over an hour late for the physical tryout. After getting a second chance, Grado still managed to advance to the semi finals. However, he continued to upset judges, wrestlers and even the other contestants with his unprofessional manner. Series winner Mark Andrews recently denied any speculation that there was ill-feeling towards Grado, but Snow and others close to the wrestlers involved with the show have been more negative.
It had been speculated that Grado had been offered a developmental deal due to the fact that he was invited to the US again. It was believed that he was going to appear on one of the One Night Only tapings or team with another Scottish wrestler, but Grado was not in attendance for any of these.
