Hangman Page seems to like, outright hate Marty Scurll now, too. Yeah, they were I think previously the closest, and Hangman used to be a teacher who taught teens, so I think it makes sense he took the revelation hardest. People say in bad faith "the elite will take him in" but the news probably crushed then more than anyone else.

I hate to sound hyperbolic, but this guy could go down as one of the bigger "what if's" in wrestling history. The man was poised to be a mega-star in pro wrestling. Imagine where Marty would be right now in this Forbidden Door era of wrestling, considering the position he was in going into the pandemic, being set up to take the 10 Pounds of Gold from Nick Aldis while working for Ring of Honor.

He was given an unheard of seven figure contract in ROH and complete control of booking He showed up in NWA and got the world talking about a title feud with Aldis He showed up on BTE again twice teasing that he was back and pretty much going to be heading to AEW. Hangman Page even did one of his moves in a match. He was given a lot in a very short time... and it all came crashing down with both the Pandemic and then #SpeakingOut. His statement after the fact only served to make things worse... now we're at the point where the only booking this dude can get is in Puerto Rico looking like... well that. Marty was and probably is a great wrestler... but he had the keys to multiple kingdoms... he f***ed it all up. It truly makes you wonder if he's sorry or if he's sorry he got caught like how David Starr seems to have come off. But I'd be really shocked if Marty had any goodwill left in making a comeback anywhere substantial with the shit that comes with him. I also ain't about to condemn any wrestlers who are still his friend and happy for him publicly (Though of course Tessa is...) but that's also playing with a bit of fire imo.

People say in bad faith "the elite will take him in" but the news probably crushed then more than anyone else. Between both Marty and Joey Ryan getting outed for their sins... yeah. The Elite got f***ing sideswiped and I think they did take it hard. Hangman ghosted Social Media for like a month when the Marty news came out. I wouldn't be shocked if it still hurts. Past BTE is kind of a mine field now for how much those two were featured on it.

Oh man he looks goofy as hell for some reason...Maybe it's just because it's so long or the hair being down but he looks smaller and older.

I think Tessa is drunk and is just liking random tweets.
She is probably in her underwear wearing the Impact World Championship belt that she stole liking tweets about Larry's Country Diner while Daga shakes his head and cleans up the empty beer bottles laying around.

People say in bad faith "the elite will take him in" but the news probably crushed then more than anyone else. The thing about the Marty accusations was that there were whispers about them prior to Speaking Out, but I'm willing to bet that any time other members of The Elite brought it up to Marty, he likely denied any wrong doing. When it turned out they were true, that was a huge betrayal of trust that I don't think they were going to risk their reputation in re-associating with him. I'm sure Joey Ryan was a similar situation, but the sheer number of accusations, combined with the lawsuits of AEW roster member Penelope Ford alongside other indie wrestlers is an even worse situation.

I literally learned the word “nonce” from a British friend who told me the stories of “Party Marty” taking payment in flesh years ago. I feel pretty good knowing he’s not getting near AEW, especially if he couldn’t even get shown on NJPW Strong. Yeah, I'll be honest, "Marty's a nonce" was something that went around Britwres wrestler and fan spaces for years, but most of us thought it was a joke in poor taste, like because of his topknot which is weirdly popular around the type of 25 year old who dates 14 year olds, or maybe he had a girlfriend slightly younger than him or something, barely anyone thought there was truth in it.

Yeah I heard tale too. When Preston City Wrestling won't book you you know something is dodgy as hell.

I only ever went to one PCW show, the Kris Travis Memorial show... which they ended with Bubblegum (pre-allegations) doing a genuinely emotional speech before T-Bone attacked him and they decided to pretend that he was paralysed. Referees throwing up X's, the announcer doing the cracking voice and Bubblegum screaming 'I can't feel my legs' as the crowd (some still crying from the speech may I add) fell silent.
Easily one of the most awkward moments of my life.

Cody just decided to randomly start a feud with 10 while they were in the ring. Just completely tone deaf...

Hell RoH threw like everything at him to get him to stay in the company even giving him the head booker position... just so he wouldn't leave and join AEW...

I'm pretty sure they stretchered him out of the ring and everything, all in complete silence bar some sniffs and sobs from the crowd. I think they tried to defend it afterwards by saying 'it was what Kris would have wanted' which boggles the mind for a variety of reasons.

Yeah Marty looks really rough. But to be honest I’d rather see him or Tessa slowly work their way into peoples good graces. If they actually show remorse for their behavior. It’s better than seeing Jimmy Uso being a main fixture on WWE programming, being tag champion after multiple DUI arrests. The guy should have been pulled from tv and sent to rehab. Dude could have killed someone.

Jeez. Marty looks like someone who'd lecture you on the differences between a pedophile and a ephebophile.

Whoa, that is really not a good look for him.
He was a pretty handsome guy with the shorter hair and beard back when he was starting out. I was him, think I'd consider going back to that.
Also getting more sleep and laying off the booze if he's been hitting it.

He looks like a Funk Pop version of David Koresh without his pull.

Just remembered the time he was on Take Me Out, a trashy dating TV show in the UK. Basically, he had 30 women who he was being pitched to and when wrestling comes up, a noticeable number just bow out immediately.
The clip's aged poorly enough when you leave it at that but Jimmy Havoc was the friend they had to put him over as well.

He wasn't the first British wrestler to be on it either, James Wallace/Jay Phoenix was on it too, before he got caught in possession of child porn and wanking in a changing cubicle at a children's swimming pool.
Definitely a pattern emerging here with wrestlers and Take Me Out.
