Marty Scurll, the professional wrestler known as “The Villain,” has recently filed for a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The trademark is specifically for entertainment clothing purposes.
The description of the trademark includes various entertainment services related to wrestling, such as wrestling contests, live appearances, televised appearances, personal appearances, and providing wrestling news and information online. It also mentions online interviews featuring Scurll in the field of professional wrestling and sports entertainment.
Scurll, who has worked for promotions like ROH, NJPW, and NWA, is seeking to protect his popular nickname, “The Villain,” through this trademark filing.
It is worth noting that Scurll’s career has not been without controversy. During the Speaking Out Movement in June 2020, he was accused of taking advantage of an inebriated underage girl in 2015. Scurll denied these accusations, but as a result, he and ROH mutually agreed to part ways in January of the following year.
Despite the controversy surrounding him, Scurll’s popularity and impact in the world of professional wrestling cannot be denied. His unique persona as “The Villain” has garnered a significant fan base, and his in-ring abilities have impressed audiences around the globe.
With the filing of this trademark, Scurll aims to solidify his ownership of the nickname and potentially expand its usage to various entertainment clothing items. This move demonstrates his commitment to building his personal brand and capitalizing on his popularity within the wrestling industry.
