Grado reveals he was meant to face a WWE Hall of Famer in Insane Championship Wrestling (Exclusive)

Over the last few weeks, we've spoken with the likes of Lio Rush, Mark Andrews, Chris Van Vliet and Fred Rosser, AKA Darren Young, on Dropkick DiSKussions, and Episode 5 did not disappoint when Grado came all the way from the 'tap end ae Stevenson' to chat to me in Rufus T Firefly in Glasgow.

The former Insane Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship opened up to me about a match he was set up for at ICW's Fear & Loathing, but that it couldn't happen because a new WWE contract made the Hall of Famer unavailable.

Jeff Jarrett - I'm really close to Jeff. Obviously I've not been as close to him recently because, right now, he's Vince McMahon's right-hand man. He's on his jet, he's with him every day, so I don't get to talk to him as much because obviously the situation with WWE, he's no longer available because the plan was for me and JJ at Fear & Loathing.

So, I was gutted because Jeff re-signed me. My contract was up with TNA a couple of years ago and he managed to get me re-signed, so that created a little relationship because we were involved in that and ITV World of Sport, so we got really close.

Whenever I was in America, I was always round at Jarrett's gaff. I was there with his family, spent a lot of time with him over the summer two years ago, so for him to introduce me back was brilliant.

I love that video, watching back, just when he's got the Hall of Fame jacket, like "I got a guy and he's from Steven-ston!"
