Gerwyn Price’s Bold Vow Shakes Up Grand Slam of Darts
It was one of those nights in Wolverhampton when tension, talent, and a touch of mind games took center stage. Gerwyn Price, the fiery Welshman known for his unapologetic confidence, sent shockwaves through the Grand Slam of Darts after thrashing James Wade 5-0 in their Group D clash. But what really caught everyone’s attention wasn’t just his dominant performance—it was the bold statement he made before stepping on stage.

Price admitted later that he might have “hurt” Wade mentally even before a dart was thrown. While the two are friendly off-stage, the Welsh star revealed that his pre-match vow was anything but friendly. “We were practicing backstage,” Price said, “and James wished me all the best. I told him, ‘I’m your friend, but on stage, I hate you, bud. I’m here to smash you up.’” That remark, half-intimidation and half-psychological warfare, may have unsettled his rival before their match began.
And when the game started, Price delivered exactly what he promised. Wade couldn’t win a single leg. It was a complete dismantling—clinical finishing, steady scoring, and that unmistakable fire that’s made Price one of the sport’s biggest personalities. For Price, it was not just a victory—it was redemption after a narrow loss to Ricky Evans earlier in the group. With Stefan Bellmont as his final group opponent, his hopes of advancing to the knockouts are very much alive.
Price later reflected that he thrives under pressure, especially in near-knockout scenarios. “Sometimes I prefer that pressure when you know if you lose, you’re going home,” he admitted. That mindset, forged in high-stakes matches, seems to bring out his best darts. Wade, meanwhile, was eliminated from the competition following the defeat, despite showing flashes of brilliance earlier in the tournament.
The win was a reminder of why Gerwyn Price is considered one of the fiercest competitors on the circuit. His intensity can be polarizing, but it’s also what fuels his success. From hitting multiple nine-darters in his career to maintaining a relentless fighting spirit, Price has built a reputation for backing up his words with results. And this time, his vow to “smash” his opponent wasn’t just talk—it was a promise fulfilled.
As the Grand Slam of Darts continues, all eyes will be on Price to see if his fiery determination can carry him through to the final rounds. One thing is certain—whether fans love him or love to hate him, Gerwyn Price always makes darts worth watching.
