As Newsbeat speaks to Grado on the phone, there's a mobile buzzing every few seconds in the background.

Since the wrestler started his #SayYesMadonna campaign just a few hours ago, his social media notifications have been non-stop.

He wants the singer to change her mind and allow him to use her song Like a Prayer on a US television broadcast of one of his matches.

Originally, the 30-year-old was worried his plea might be a bit "embarrassing".

"I got 100 retweets in a minute and I thought maybe this is a good idea. She might actually get to see this," he says.

Grado, whose real name is Graeme Stevely, walks up to the ring accompanied by the song Like a Prayer - but he hasn't managed to get the rights to let the track be broadcast.

Looking at this cynically, could it not be a chance for him to grab some publicity?

Grado is about to appear on US TV and has also been getting roles in programmes with BBC Scotland recently - while also being one of the most high profile Scottish wrestlers.

"I wish it was a publicity stunt because I would love if everything was alright and the Like a Prayer song was licensed and I was able to use it," he says.

"It's definitely not a publicity stunt. I've got the emails of Madonna's personnel telling us we can't use it.

"I'm enjoying this, but it's not a publicity stunt. It's real and I really, really want Madonna to take notice."

He says coming out to an upbeat pop song has become a signature move, especially as so many of his competitors use "depressing" rock tracks.

He explains: "This Madonna song gets everybody going, the whole crowd stands on their feet. They clap, they sing, they dance.

"It gets everybody buzzing, especially me."

Madonna has yet to comment on the decision to stop Grado from using her track.

Newsbeat has contacted representatives for the musician, but has yet to receive a statement.
