TRIGGER WARNING - SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A MINOR
On February 17, Destiny Wrestling announced Marty Scurll would be appearing at their event on April 6th.
The talent announcement was met with fan backlash online, with many fans bringing up the allegations against Scurll from Speaking Out, where it was alleged that Scurll sexually assaulted a minor. Scurll released multiple statements regarding the allegations, claiming the encounter was consensual.
Destiny Wrestling promoter Emilio Albi gave the following comment to KingOfTheNorth:
Destiny is and always takes steps to make sure everyone is safe. And no one should ever feel uncomfortable at our shows. We have spoken to all talent on the show about this booking, to make sure everyone is ok with it. And by all accounts everyone feels the same about the situation. Marty is in a different stage in his life and is about to be married. He has matured and is looking for another chance to do better on the world stage. I can’t tell you what to do but I can promise you the show will be entertaining and a great opportunity to see international talent in your area.
Again I thank you for the email and if there is anything else we can do for you please reach out anytime and thanks again for your amazing support of independent wrestling.
Scurll has worked for multiple independent promotions since Speaking Out, including previous Destiny Wrestling events.
