Former Intercontinental Champion deletes tweets about Marty Scurll bookings
Former WWE Interncontinental Champion Santino Marealla has seemingly deleted tweets related to Marty Scurll's bookings in his promotion.
Scurll was renowned on the British Independent Wrestling scene during the mid-2010s, and even had a brief stint hosting the WrestleTalk TV show. He also appeared on well-known British reality TV dating show, Take Me Out.
Marty is more familiar to wrestling fans as one of the contestants on the first season of TNA British Boot Camp, along with Rockstar Spud (Drake Maverick). He also spent time in Ring of Honor, during his run with the promotion he won ROH World Television Champion, he was also a former Bullet Club member in NJPW.
During the Speaking Out movement that took place in 2020, Scurll was accused of sexual misconduct, this led to many promotions canceling his bookings in most indie cricuits.
However, Battle Arts Professional Wrestling, a promotion run by the former WWE Superstar Santino Marella, was willing to book the British cruiserweight for their show on August 13th 2020. This was met with some backlash, to which Marella, real name Anthony Carelli, tweeted a response: “Everyone deserves a second chance to redeem themselves.” Which he then seemingly deleted, amid even more backlash.
Currently, Scurll is still booked on the August 13th event, which is set to take place in Ontario, Canada.
What are the accusations against Marty Scurll?
