Grado (wrestler)
Graeme Stevely, known by the ring name Grado (/ˈɡreɪdoʊ/ GRAY-doh), is a Scottish professional wrestler and actor. He is currently signed to Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW), where he is a former ICW World Heavyweight Champion. As an actor, he is best known for playing Alan in Two Doors Down and PC Hugh McKirdy in Scot Squad. In August 2025, Grado began presenting the Heart Scotland Breakfast show.
Grado first got into wrestling in 2002. He trained briefly with Red Lightning, Kid Fite, and Drew Galloway at British Championship Wrestling. A few years later he went on to train with the Scottish Wrestling Alliance. He made his debut for them in 2004, under the ring name Grant Dunbar, as part of The Lowlanders with Glen Dunbar. They achieved little success, but held the SWA Tag Team Championships on two occasions.
After years of wrestling sporadically and performing as lead singer of Scottish metalcore band Prezident Prime, Grado returned to training at SWA, this time with new head trainer Big Damo. He made a Facebook video to sell tickets for a Scottish Wrestling Alliance show next to his home town, leading to a promo feud with Jackie Polo which included his first time dancing along to Madonna "Like a Prayer". These videos and promos became popular and Mark Dallas from Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW) hatched the "Get Grado Booked" campaign. During this time, Grado was the subject of a Vice documentary, The British Wrestler, which saw his popularity rise with American stars like Sonjay Dutt voicing their support. As part of the Vice documentary, Grado appeared to defeat ICW Heavyweight Champion Red Lightning at Super Smokin' Thunderbowl to win the ICW Heavyweight Championship. The match was later restarted as Red Lightning had his leg under the bottom rope. Red Lightning would go on to retain the title.
During the ICW Fringe Tour in 2014, Grado teamed up with Colt Cabana to face the New Age Kliq (Chris Renfrew and BT Gunn) and won the first Official ICW Tag Team Championships. Grado and Cabana are known as Irn Jew and on the last night of the tour they lost their Tag Team Championships to The New Age Kliq. On 15 November 2015 Fear & Loathing VIII Grado defeated Drew Galloway to win the ICW World Heavyweight Championship at the SECC.
At the fifth annual Square Go on 24 January 2016, Grado lost the ICW World Heavyweight Championship to Chris Renfrew, ending his reign at just two months, the shortest reign in ICW history at that time. At the event he also debuted a new theme, and a new look, coming out to a rock version of "99 Problems" replacing his long time theme "Like A Prayer", as well as ditching his long time singlet for trunks, and the flannel given to him by Mick Foley at Fear and Loathing VIII.
At Fear & Loathing IX on 20 November 2016, in the SSE Hydro, Grado teamed as a part of Team Dallas to defeat Team Black Label to reclaim ownership of ICW.
On 16 April 2017 At Barramania III Grado turned heel for the first time in his career by attacking his longtime friend Sha Samuels and aligning himself with Red Lightning. At Shug's Hoose Party 4 on 30 July he lost to Samuels in a Loser Leaves ICW match forcing Grado to leave ICW.
On 3 November 2012 Grado partnered with JD Bravo in a tag team match against The Coffey Brothers (Joe Coffey and Mark Coffey) with The Coffey Brothers winning the Match. On 14 March 2015 Grado teamed with Kenny Williams against Darkside and TJ Rage for the Premier British Wrestling Tag Team Championship. Grado and Williams won the match to become new tag champions.
