* SPOILER RESULTS for WWE’s Tribute To The Troops Special

Marty Scurll is no longer with Ring of Honor.

ROH posted a brief statement on Monday announcing that “Marty Scurll and Ring of Honor have mutually decided to part ways.”

ROH had announced in June 2020 that they were launching an investigation into accusations made against their contracted wrestlers during the #SpeakingOut movement. A woman alleged during the #SpeakingOut movement that while drunk, she was sexually assaulted by Scurll when she was 16 years old in 2015. Scurll responded by releasing a statement saying that a sexual encounter did happen, but it was consensual. Scurll also claimed that the encounter was legal, as the age of consent in the United Kingdom is 16. 

In a second statement, Scurll said that “although I did not become aware of her age until after the encounter, the reality of the age disparity is not lost on me.”

Scurll had been with ROH since 2016. In January of 2020, Scurll signed a new contract with ROH that also saw him join the promotion’s booking team.

Scurll was removed from the ROH roster page in October, with Dave Meltzer reporting that Scurll didn’t have a role with ROH at the time. Scurll hadn’t wrestled for ROH following the promotion’s return to television production in August and hadn’t been involved in creative.

The Syfy Channel sent out the following press release today officially announcing the new “Robot Combat League” series, hosted by former WWE superstar Chris Jericho:

SYFY’S ROBOT COMBAT LEAGUE OFFERS RINGSIDE SEATS TO GROUNDBREAKING, HIGH-OCTANE CLASHES OF STEEL

WWE CHAMPION CHRIS JERICHO TO HOST

Series Debuts Tuesday, February 26 at 10 P.M. ET/PT

NEW YORK, N.Y. – November 26, 2012 – Syfy announces a gripping new reality series premiering Tuesday, February 26 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT which reinvents gladiatorial combat for the 21st century. Each week, Robot Combat League will feature tournament-style battles between eight-feet tall, state-of-the-art humanoid robots controlled by human “robo-jockeys”. Hosting the series is Chris Jericho, the wildly popular WWE wrestler and multifaceted performer.

The idea of robots in battle has captured the imagination for generations. Now, through ground-breaking engineering, the fusion of a human’s fighting spirit with a powerful robotic machine built for destruction has become a reality. This extraordinary new series will feature twelve teams consisting of a fighter (a “robo-jockey”) and a robotics engineer (a “robo-tech”) from myriad backgrounds including a race car driver, an Olympic athlete, a National Guard helicopter pilot along with a mix of professional fighters and software engineers. Each team is paired with its own unique robot and will fight in a first-of-its kind competition using a high-tech exo-suit that translates their movements to their robot. Each fight consists of three rounds of intense action, with the winning team advancing in the competition.

In his role as host, Jericho will set up each week’s fight and provide viewers with a play-by-play commentary of the fighting action. Jericho began wrestling at age 19 and is one of the most popular champions in the history of the WWE. In 2001 he was crowned the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion and has been named one of the top five most charismatic performers of all-time. Jericho was also a popular contestant on season 11 of Dancing with the Stars and is the lead singer of the #1 charting hard rock band, Fozzy. The two-time NY Times best-selling author grew up in Winnipeg, Canada, and now currently resides in Tampa, Fla.

The robots of the Robot Combat League were designed and created by robotics expert, Mark Setrakian, a leader in the sport of robotic combat. In his distinguished career, Setrakian has developed life-saving robotic systems, and pioneered cutting-edge creature effects, animatronics and control technology for such films as Men In Black, The Grinch and Hellboy. Setrakian combines a keen study of biology with innovative engineering to create robots with uncanny organic movement, earning his reputation as the man who brings machines to life.

Robot Combat League is produced by Smart Dog Media, with Craig Plestis serving as executive producer.

Syfy is a media destination for imagination-based entertainment. With year round acclaimed original series, events, blockbuster movies, classic science fiction and fantasy programming, a dynamic Web site (www.Syfy.com ), and a portfolio of adjacent business (Syfy Ventures), Syfy is a passport to limitless possibilities.
