“I've pinched things from people I look up to, of course, like Roddy Pi...” — Marty Scurll Quote

“I've pinched things from people I look up to, of course, like Roddy Piper, and CM Punk, and Terry Funk, those guys who I love, so of course it's going to happen.”

“It's been a real sort of juxtaposition in my life because I've gone from wrestling for the past 15/16 years to this new role where I'm essentially running a wrestling company so, during the week, where I used to train and work out and go tan, now I'm working 24 hours a day.”

“The Villain wasn't necessarily something I sat down and thought, 'Oh this is going to be my character.' It's most like other great wrestling characters, where it's more of a reflection of my actual character.”

“I love funk and soul and Motown.”

“One of the greatest matches I ever saw was Jerry Lawler against Terry Funk in the Memphis Midsouth Coliseum, but there was Flair vs. Steamboat in Nashville back in '89.”

“Being jazz-trained, things happen spontaneously. Even though it's funk rock, we still have the instincts of a jazz musician.”
