The Cum Doctor Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 He was a regular fixture on shows when I was going to the town hall as a boy. And then as an adult, he was still kicking about and winning titles. A total legend up here and as such got a stunning reception at ICW, where he put on a fun showing both on the mic and in the match. Â RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SiMania Posted February 9, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 I remember him turning up at an scw show in Greenock in an old astra swearing like a trooper and living the gimmick. I'm sure I have a shoot interview somewhere that a young Grado did. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSM Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Saddened to hear of the passing of Drew McDonald. Drew was on the first British wrestling show I went to and I was mesmerised by his crowd manipulation from the very start. A perfect heel and I instantly became a fan. I won't pretend to know him because I only knew him as a fan. In the ring he was a professional (I loved taking photos of him!) and when I met him outside it he was a lovely gent. It was only later on that I found out he was responsible for getting so many Brits their tryout matches with WWE including Paige. RIP to a World of Sport and British Wrestling legend.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted February 9, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2015 Looked like he could kill you, I mean really kill you. Excellent british grappler who down to unfortunate timing missed out on being a household name. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Sad night for British Wrestling, one of this country's true legends gone from the most hated disease in the world, cancer. Wonder if Paige or Barrett will do a tribute to him if either are on Raw tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members DEF Posted February 10, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2015 Sad to hear this. I'm a big fan, He was really awesome in the FWA when I was a regular. Particularly as a heel. A sad day for British wrestling. Â sydneyxraven your absolutely spot on. He really did a fine job of making you believe it was real. Â R.I.P.
