Marty Scurll On Whether He’d Book Himself To Win ROH World Title

ROH lead booker and wrestler Marty Scurll has commented on whether or not he would book himself to win the promotion’s World Championship.

Speaking on the ROHStrong podcast, Scurll discussed his position and how it affects how he books himself.

He said:

“What I’ve achieved in ROH speaks for itself. I was booked as a top guy beforehand; there’s no reason for that to stop. It’s not like I was an undercard guy, then I became booker, and now I’m World Champion. I’m always going to make the best decisions, not for myself, but for the company. If me being World Champion is best for the company, then we’ll do that, despite my other roles. At the end of the day, the fans are going to tell you if they believe in something or not. If I’m booked on top, right now, I don’t think any of the fans are going to say, ‘Why he’s on top?’ I understand there’s somewhat of a conflict of interest. At the same time, where do you get these bookers from? It’s not like there’s a University to train to be a booker. The only way to prepare for this job is to have years of experience in the business, that’s something I have. I’ve been studying this business my whole life. I have Ring of Honor’s best interest at heart, I want everyone to succeed. And I have to now because my name is on the line. I don’t have any ulterior motives. I was taken aback, at first, with how much work there is to do. It’s 24 hours, but that’s my choice. It doesn’t feel like work because I love doing it. It’s really a dream job.”
