Yuh defs staged and id be furious if i was a contestant there cus its obviously made for grado to win it. If theres any inspiration for a pissed off promo a la austin then this it it.

Obvs who wins. Shame.
Grado is a legit draw in Scotland, drawing bigger houses than the TNA house shows in America. ICW's November 2nd show has sold out the 2000 seat Glasgow Barrowlands well in advance (all be it with a non Grado main event, Jack Jester v Drew Galloway).

It's a shame their shows are 18+ as i'm sure the younger fans would love to see Grado too.

1,500 attended BFG (according to Wikipedia), which is quite good for TNA.
There was some canny matches but as grouty sez it looked like they where in a half empty broom cupboard ... It looked terrible for summit airring on national TV! ... Soooo embarrassing!

Did anyone watch Bootcamp ? I can't believe that Grado was so unprofessional and got kicked out
I didn't watch bootcamp because rockstar spud won (last series) & he doesn't even wrestle so what's the point?

I was hoping that Al Snow was going to hit Grado as he comes over as an annoying pratt and if it is being set up for him to win I hope he falls flat on his face.

Oh hey im not disputing him, im saying the others should be pissed off that hes clearly being groomed to win, i honestly think its obvious cus no way is he eliminated. But judging on the scottish guys, he is clearly the number one stand out guy. Charisma overload and should be signed once twice three times before anyone else on that show.

It is a bit X Factorish in a way as none of those featured last night will ever mean anything in TNA , that's if there is a TNA even

Just watched it there just now.The Grado thing was a load of rubbish.It was so staged it stood out like a sore thumb.I thought it took something away from the show.

What was the reason? ... financial mismanagment? (did he have his hand in the till lol) or was the channel airring ECW restricting his artistic integrity? ... what happened? ... I Wasn't watching wrestling when ECW was on the air! ... Only watched afew DVDs! 👍

(But I like him in WWE!) 👍

They crashed and burned, watch the Heyman blu/dvd for more details. Ultimately they had problems with getting their content on air & the fact they had no way to stop WCW & WWF talent raiding them. The financial side of it wasn't run well; and in the end Heyman owed huge amounts of money to the wrestlers and sold tickets to the 'Club ECW' fan club for shows he almost certainly knew were not going to happen when he was selling the tickets.

Anyone else bored of suicide dive moves in tna now? it's in nearly every match now, it's over used to death, you also see them coming a mile off because they take too long to get into position to receieve the hit, it's so forced

It's a GREAT Blu Ray, but keep in mind a lot of what Heyman says is his usual spin of things.

Rockstar Spud won (last series) & he doesn't even wrestle
He has wrestled a bit but his character has been this annoying little brat who just gets beaten up by anybody and everybody. Despite being ridiculously OTT he has managed to be quite good entertainment sometimes.

Looks like he is about to do a face turn though and that could open up some interesting storyline possibilities involving matches in which he finds a way to start gaining wins over wrestlers three times his size. Perhaps he will even go on to kick out from the one percenter and be the man to end the "undefeated" streak of EC3.

Grado has an issue that every promo he's ever done has the ****ing **** word ****ing constantly in every ****ing line he ****ing speaks.

Putting him on live US tv might be a problem.

Enjoyed this weeks Bootcamp apart from the Grado crap, the 2 girls were absolutely hopeless in the ring, makes you wonder what their matches would be like. I like the look of Mark Andrews, seemed to have a bit of charisma and something about him.

If the girls are hopeless they'll probably end up in WWE with the rest of the catwalk queens

(That havok is such a refreshing change imo) 😎

Glad Samuel Shaw is still psycho and has not turned face as a result of Gunner's kindness.
Really liking Brittany now too.
Speaking of the girlies, why is Christy Hemme not doing her announcements in the ring any more?
