Marty Scurll is an English professional wrestler. He regularly
wrestles for the Frontier Wrestling Alliance, International Pro
Wrestling: United Kingdom, All Star Wrestling, Premier
Promotions, Live Wrestling Entertainment and many more.
Alongside Zack Sabre, Jr. he is a member of popular tag team the
Leaders of the New School.
Marty started training at Frank Rimar's Dropkixx training school
which would also produce wrestlers like Darren Burridge, Martin
Stone, The Kartel and Paul Robinson.
Marty made his debut for Dropkixx at the Fondu Club in Purfleet,
defeating Jimmy Starr 2 falls to 1. Once under the tutorship of
Jon Ritchie who was now in charge at the legendary Dropkixx,
Marty took part in Dropkixx Shoot fighting tournament the brain
child of Jon Ritchie. The two categories were middleweight and
heavyweight, Marty would win the middleweight tournament,
becoming Dropkixx's first middleweight champion. The heavyweight
tournament was won by current WWE star Wade Barrett. He competed
regularly for Summit Promotions, and at the end of the year
formed a tag team with Paul Robinson as 'The Party Boys' or 'The
Midnight Ravers' as they were sometimes billed.
Scurll debuted for Premier Promotions. Premier would be the
place where Marty would meet Phil Powers, a man Marty found
himself wrestling many times in the summer season on the holiday
camps circuit. On 16 July Marty wrestled his idol Steve Grey
losing 2 Falls to 1 for Summit Promotions in Rayleigh, Essex.
Scurll was one of the 8 men entered into the British Wrestling
United's National Under 23's Championship tournament. He fought
Stiro in the first round which went to a No Contest. Scurll
would later get his shot at the eventual winner Sam Slam in
2007, but would be short in defeat. The rest of the year Scurll
debuted for the likes IPW:UK, and RQW, wrestling Jonny Storm,
Taiji Ishimori, Bubblegum and many others.
On 5 June 2007 Marty made his debut for All Star Wrestling by
defeating Jimmy Starr at Gravesend. Marty competed regularly for
All Star, including main eventing Fairfield Halls, Croydon
against Pro Wrestling NOAH's Shuhei Taniguchi and Tsutomu
Hirayanagi. In IPW:UK, Marty would reform his tag team with Paul
Robinson, but under the name 'The Leaders of the New School'.
Since, they have feuded with BritRage (Mark Sloan and Wade
Flitzgerald) and the Kartel. Other wrestlers Scurll has found
himself up against have been Johnny Kidd, Robbie Dynamite,
Martin Stone, Nick Aldis, Andy Simmonz and Swiss Money Holding.
Marty Scurll wrestled and lost to Doug Williams in IPW:UK's
British National Championship Tournament.
In 2009 Scurll and Sabre Jr focused their attention on the
IPW:UK tag team division, and picked up a memorable win against
tag team champions The Thrillers (Mark Haskins and Joel Redman)
during the company's February tour. A highly anticipated rematch
finally took place between the teams at the 2009 "Sittingbourne
Spectacular" after the Leaders' scheduled opponents had to pull
out through injury. This time the championships were on the
line, and the Leaders won again to claim their first
championship gold in IPW:UK. The match was considered a Match of
the Year candidate, and the feud between the Leaders and the
Thrillers became the dominant storyline in IPW:UK through the
summer, culminating in the Leaders winning a Tables, Ladders,
and Chairs match against their rivals in September. The Leaders
have enjoyed an unbroken reign as champions since that time.
Scurll and Sabre Jr competed in the first match of the newly
re-launched Frontier Wrestling Alliance in August 2009, beating
Northern Xposure (NX) at "New Frontiers". The feud between these
two teams would continue for the next several months, with NX
eventually sealing a 2-1 victory in a best of three series after
defeating Sabre Jr and Scurll at "British Uproar" in February
2010. Since then the Leaders of the New School have entered into
the promotion's tag team championship tournament, qualifying for
the semi finals after defeating Project Ego at "The Art of War".
On 28 April 2012, Scurll defeated Sami Callihan in the final of
an eight-man tournament to determine the new British
Cruiserweight Champion. Marty Scurll will appear on the TNA
"British Boot Camp" reality show that will air in December 2012
on Challenge TV in the UK.
