The reason you had to leave was obviously that you're wrestling daft - that leads onto another wee exclusive that you said you were going to give us.

So I do Football Daft with Ewen Cameron each week, which I'm really enjoying. I've always wanted to do a podcast. Because we're always on the road, listening to podcasts is a big thing that the boys do. You listen to... I remember I bought equipment, £300 worth of equipment for podcasting a couple years ago. I don't even think I f***ing opened the box. My plan was to always do a podcast because I like sitting and talking s***e.
Ewen Cameron asked me to do it, Football Daft. The media company, The Fore Network, they asked if I wanted to do Wrestling Daft, a wrestling podcast.
So, we've got a co-host who I think is going to surprise a lot of people who is going to be... I can't announce who it is yet because he has not signed on the dotted line but I hope it gets around soon because I think it's going to be really good. Hopefully get guys like you to come on.
We base a lot of Football Daft around the fans, so we want to get fans involved. We have a feature on Football Daft now where punters can phone in, give their opinions. We want to have that on Wrestling Daft, fans phoning in, wrestlers coming from around the world, wee bit of comedy, wee bit of chitchat. Promoting shows, British guys promoting stuff so look out for that in the coming weeks and months, man.
We know Wrestling Daft is coming up. Obviously you're back in ICW, you said about the TV shows, hopefully Scot Squad's going to come back. Ravie Davie, you're going up against, you mentioned that earlier. Anything else next for Grado?
What's your ambition? Where are you planning on going from here? Are you going to keep grinding away or do you have some end goal in sight?
I don't even know. Do you know what? I done my Grado's Big Family Wrestling Bash, round at the Pavilion, so you know I've been doing pantomime at the Pavilion for the last four years. When ITV World of Sport toured, they decided not to go to Glasgow because it's quite an oversaturated market.
They didn't want to go there. I had a lot of families going, "Well, we want to come and see World of Sport," so I spoke to the guy that runs the Pavilion and said, "Why don't we put on a version or style of World of Sport and have it in the theatre?" He said it was a great idea. In May, we done 1,100 people.
Family show. I always want to aim my shows at families because you've got to remember, a lot of the wrestling crowds, wrestling fans are young children and it's easier to impress the children. They can get hooked and they can love it but it is dragging the parents... You don't want the parents to be going, "F***ing hell, hurry up."
