Impact wrestling thread - It's a Don West tribute thread now!

Add Mastiff to Bootcamp! Just saw a post from TCW about it.

[Rosler28]

That's 11 now. One more spot to go to get the 12 they want.

[Guest]

Would there be any reason for Grado not to be there? He's the only one that'd get me watching, I think. Might be that they don't want another joke wrestler winning?

I doubt he wants it, he works wrestling around his day job, he seems to know place is where he is.

[PBWFan]

I personally don't see why Grado would even want to do TNA Bootcamp.

 

In the confines of Scotland he is literally a household name. Always cropping up on BBC Scotland whether it be the radio or the TV.

 

TNA if anything would be supid not to offer him something more substantial in order to tap into that audience.

Steady on.  He's not even a household name with Scottish wrestling fans, let alone the general public.

[Alex Wright Mark]

According to his Facebook page, Plymouth wrestler and PWA:UK owner John Harding has been asked to audition for British Boot Camp.

 

Could he really be the 12th guy among that list though!?

 He is mate. You're wrong.

[Ant]

Wrestling fans that are Scottish, or fans of Scottish wrestling?

 

One, no chance, the other, probably.

[PBWFan]

He has appeared on way more mainstream media, TV, radio, newspapers than any UK wrestler ever has since WoS. His Scottish humour has endeared him to the public up here. After the Insane Fight Club aired, people were and still are coming to shows to specifically see Grado (and to a lesser extent Jester).

 

Case in point...Aberdeen were playing in the Scottish League Cup final on 16th March. PBW had a show in Glasgow City center on the 15th. A drunk Aberdeen fan came bumbling into the box office of the Pavillion from Lauders next door and asked if Grado was there. They said yes but he didnt believe them. So Grado went into this pub full of Aberdeen supporters to prove he was there. They were all chanting his name and such. And a group of about 20 football fans came in, paid to watch Grado's match and went back to the pub.

[IANdrewDiceClay]

PBWFan being a bit mental here.

[PBWFan]

Not being mental at all. Presented a fact with an examples to prove it.

 

Surprised some of those guys are even remotely associating themselves with TNA if they stand any chance of a WWE deal down the line.

[CTXRussomark]

Wrestling fans that are Scottish, or fans of Scottish wrestling?

 

One, no chance, the other, probably.

 

Yeah sorry, by "Scottish wrestling fans" I meant wrestling fans that are Scottish rather than fans of Scottish wrestling.

 

Either way PBWFan has completely misunderstood the concept of a household name.

[PBWFan]

No. I've not misunderstood it. I did say in the confines of Scotland he was pretty much a household name and that is due to various non-wrestling related projects and the documentary itself which was watched by over 1million viewers in Scotland alone. The documentary opened other avenues in the media for him and introduced him to a wider audience who might not necessarily know much about Wrestling.

 

 

So maybe you could define to me what you think a "household name" is?
