Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Martin "Marty" Scurll (born 26 July 1988) is an English professional wrestler currently wrestling for Pro Wrestling Guerilla (PWG), Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro-Wrestling and What Culture Pro Wrestling. As Party Marty, he would form the tag team "Leaders of the New School" with Zack Sabre Jr in IPW: UK and win their tag team championships in 2009. He wrestled briefly for TNA in their British Boot Camp series between 2012 and 2013.However, Marty is best known for his current gimmick as "The Villain", a Penguin-esque super-villain with a stylish fur coat, an umbrella and a mean streak a mile wide. He was a Danish Pro Wrestling Light Heavyweight Champion, a DDT Pro-Wrestling Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion, an IPW: UK British Cruiserweight Champion, was the last WCPW champion and following their re-branding became the 1st Defiant Wrestling champion, the first-ever two-time Progress Wrestling World Champion, an ROH Television Champion and the winner of the 2016 Battle of Los Angeles tournament in PWG.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Other Wiki has a more detailed summary of his career. He also has a YouTube Channel where there are a number of exclusive promos.As of ROH War of the Worlds 2017, the Villain is the newest member of Bullet Club (and its elite), joining as Adam Cole's replacement after he was (super)kicked from the stable. However, he, along with the rest of the members of The Elite, were viciously ejected from the stable by the Guerrillas of Destiny at NJPW's G1 Special in San Francisco event in 2018. Marty continued in The Elite until he left it to found his own faction in Ring of Honor called "Villain Enterprises".In 2020 Scurll was made one of the head bookers of Ring of Honor and tasked with rejuvenating the promotion. However, following a wave of sexual misconduct allegations in late 2020, Marty Scurll parted ways with the company, leaving his future career uncertain.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

comment
Card-Carrying Villain: Aside from the fact that it's his Red Baron, sportsmanship, and indeed "honor" are not what he's about. Feeling the ROH promotion was lacking in misdeeds, he set out start a "reign of wickedness". One of his signature spots involving him grabbing an opponent's finger and snapping it like a toothpick. It serves no greater purpose other than to be a phenomenal dick.

Eviler than Thou
 Marty Scurll (Wrestling) / int_5963b221
comment
Eviler Than Thou: Attempted against Adam Cole and Bullet Club, saying it would be his great pleasure to keep the gold that fuels their merchandise empire out of their reach indefinitely. Then the storylines played out through The Elite's YouTube channel culminated in an ROH ring with him replacing and helping fire Adam Cole from the Bullet Club. Not a subversion, since the rest of the Club still acknowledges him as being a special case of villainy and evil.

Foreshadowing
 Marty Scurll (Wrestling) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: The Eviler Than Thou above in which Scurll was seemingly against the Bullet Club was contradicted by two important details. For starters, despite their popularity, the Bullet Club are still heels prone to dastardly measures, and building a merchandise empire is certainly not a goal exclusive to heroes. Scurll, also a popular and very much Card-Carrying Villain, would more likely want to join than impede such a ship. And indeed, Scurll had already started being featured in the Elite's YouTube storylines surrounding the mistrust between Kenny Omega and Adam Cole, appearing as a close friend of The Young Bucks and exposing Cole's secret of having poisoned one of Nick Jackson's drinks.

For the Evulz: According to this interview, the reason why Marty enjoys snapping people's fingers so much is because "The Villain gets off on the idea of disgusting the crowd and telling the crowd to keep the noise down while he's doing it...that makes him a little bit sicker so he enjoys that he sickened the crowd."
