Another big match has been made official for the upcoming Ring Of Honor (ROH) 17th Anniversary pay-per-view.
This week, ROH announced that Marty Scurll will go one-on-one against Kenny King at the PPV on March 15th in Las Vegas, Nevada.
ROHWrestling.com announced the following today:
Kenny King and Marty Scurll Face Off At 17th Anniversary
Las Vegas is known for big fights and bright lights, so what better city for The Best Wrestling on the Planet to celebrate its birthday in? On March 15 at Sam’s Town Live in Sin City, Ring of Honor presents its 17th Anniversary show live on pay-per-view and for HonorClub VIP.
The show takes place three weeks before the historic G1 Supercard at sold-out Madison Square Garden, so what happens at 17th Anniversary in Vegas will not stay in Vegas; the ramifications will surely be felt at The World’s Most Famous Arena in New York City on April 6.
Just signed for Anniversary is a match pitting “The Villain” Marty Scurll against Kenny King.“THE VILLAIN” MARTY SCURLL vs. KENNY KING
Scurll and King haven’t crossed paths often, but it’s been enough times for them to develop an intense dislike for one another.
Their most recent encounter was in a Four Corner Survival Match that also involved Silas Young and Willie Mack at Bound By Honor in Miami on Feb. 10. Scurll appeared to have the match won when he trapped Young in the chicken wing, but the referee was distracted by King bringing a chair into the ring and did not see Young tapping. King went on to hit a low blow on Scurll behind the referee’s back, and then he rolled up Scurll and grabbed a handful of tights for the win.
It was a similar result last summer when Scurll and King met in a singles match, as King rolled up Scurll and placed his feet on the ropes for extra leverage to score the victory.
Scurll, who is owed an ROH World Title Match by virtue of winning Survival of the Fittest in November, wants to gain retribution on King at Anniversary and put his focus back on becoming world champion.
King believes he is the uncrowned ROH World Champion, and another victory over Scurll certainly would strengthen his case for receiving another shot at the championship.
Will King continue to have Scurll’s number, or will “The Villain” deal King a defeat in his hometown of Las Vegas? Join us in-person, on pay-per-view or streaming for HonorClub VIP to find out!
