Paid Members gadge Posted November 3, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2013 Marty at #21 is a shame. Wrestling and character work he is above the likes of Cruz, Banks, Rayne, Allmark and Bone. Â There's definitely been something of a backlash against Scurll, because he was outshone by Rockstar Spud in their feud and on TNA British Bootcamp, and a small number of regular (FCP?) fans went out of their way to heckle him elsewhere against Spud and others. The match against MK McKinnan at York Hall was not a shining moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_dezeeuw06 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The 2 mentioned matches Marty had with Del Sol and MK were definitely not his best work, they were uncharacteristic off days when you compare those to the body of his work in 2013. Regarding the backlash I never understood why so many people take a dislike to Scurll, he is a good wrestler, has a long list of excellent matches, can talk, has some personality and seems a nice guy if you ever speak to him outside the ring. Maybe he is just a natural heel and his new persona is a better fit. Â For Cruz, he isn't a regular at the promotions I go to but I have seen him a few times. I think he can cut a good promo and looks the part but for me I haven't seen him have a particularly good match yet. I think Cruz is very much a traditional 'sports entertainment' style worker rather than the 'indy' style we see most people work outside of WWE and there's nothing wrong with that, (some people make a lot of money working that style and I could see WWE taking an interest in Cruz at some point ) but it's not my cup of tea. I think he has potential but I'd like to see him start to have the type of great matches his stable mate Mark Haskins has on a regular basis.

king_dezeeuw06 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Massive for Jack considering he has been out of the country for so long. Bubblegum is ace and I'm sure his location is possible why he does not work that much outside of the North west.  You need to get Bubblegum, Zack Gibson, Dean Allmark and Jack Gallagher in a car together from the North West to share transport costs so they can all start getting on Southside regularly!  I watched one of our '5 Questions' with Drew Gulak yesterday and he said he would love to wrestle Jack Gallagher  Definitely worth booking for next years CZW tour if Gulak comes over again. Even if Gulak isn't coming Gallagher needs to be booked on more shows all over the country. He was great before he went to Japan, so he is bound to be even better now and there are so many 1st time matches he could have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobystag Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Apologies for posting something a UK wrestler recently posted on facebook. If Mr Cruz has a problem with this being posted on the UKFF then I will remove it, but I did chuckle heartily at this. Â So a wannabe promoter contacts me asking for my fee. I give him the information, to which I get this reply "I pay people in order to there ukff ranking. So if you're 50-40 I pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â He looked massively out his depth on the DG shows this year I thought, and dropping a series of knees so bad it killed the crowd dead was about his one memorable moment, and he seems to always leave things flat over the last year. Â I didn't catch the TNA stuff, but if I had watched I'd wager Marty would look out his league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those knee drops. Cringworthy  I wouldn't say he was out of his league, I think people just pimp him out too much to be better than he is.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted November 9, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 9, 2013 Scurll is a Poundland Marty Jannetty to Zack Sabre's Shawn Michaels. He would not be in my top 100 let alone 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted November 12, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 12, 2013 So, I'm without a computer again at the moment, in case you're wondering why there is STILL no progress on this. When I get it back, I'll likely just post the results with minimal write-ups. It's really a massive pain in the arse this UKFF UK50 lark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â That's completely understandable man, it does seem like a hell of a lot of work's involved for little to no reward while plenty of workers are reaping the benefits. Have you considered doing it as some sort of kickstarter project/self publishing it as an annual kindle book? I think you've probably done enough over the years that people wouldn't see it as just another britwres scam, and you'd probably make enough from the workers and promoters alone to make it worthwhile....
