Twitter Loves This Wrestler's Campaign Begging Madonna To Let Him Use "Like A Prayer"

    "There's nought better than a fat guy in a bumbag and a leotard dancing to Madonna," Grado told BuzzFeed News.

    Meet Scottish wrestler Grado, real name Graeme Stevely.

    On Wednesday Grado released this video, showcasing his enthusiastic entrance and begging Madonna to reconsider and allow him to use the song.

    Speaking to BuzzFeed News, Grado said he didn't think the singer had personally denied him permission, but rather that it was one of her representatives.

    "Obviously I don't imagine it's Madonna herself,," he said. "I can't imagine she's sat on her iPad scrolling through her emails and she sees one that says 'Grado's entrance music' and she says no.

    "I've got a feeling that someone is obviously speaking on her behalf, so that's why I wanted to try and get her attention on Twitter, try and get her notifications up, you know, try and get a wee buzz going on [her] timeline."

    I'm bushed, cheers for the trends, hopefully I wake up to a DM fae Madge in the morning "leave it with me big man👍😎".... #SayYesMadonna

    Nah, because I mean it's the middle of the night over there, so she's probably in her bed sleeping, or, you don't know, she could be having an all-nighter – she could be up on the booze and then she maybe gets to that stage where she wants to look at YouTube videos for a laugh and she sees that my video is trending and then that may catch her eye, so you don't know, man.

    Grado said that if he didn't end up getting permission his entrance would have to be dubbed over, which would be a "pain in the arse – it's going to look shit".

    He concluded: "There's nought better than a fat guy in a bumbag and a leotard dancing to Madonna."

    The campaign picked up steam on Wednesday night, as #SayYesMadonna became one of the top Twitter trends in the UK.

    Not sure who this Mad Donna woman is & why she's picking on @gradowrestling but everyone get her tweeted! @Madonna #SayYesMadonna

    BuzzFeed News has reached out to Madonna's representatives for a comment on the campaign and we will update this post if we hear back.
