Marty Scurll is preparing for one of the biggest matches of his career.

Ring of Honor holds their Best in the World PPV event tonight from Maryland, Baltimore at the UMBC Event Center. Scurll is involved in the show’s main event, a triple threat match involving Ring of Honor World Champion Dalton Castle and fellow Bullet Club member Cody Rhodes.

Scurll spoke with SI.com this week to promote the event and spoke about what it would mean for him to capture the ROH World Championship. He also addressed critics who have said he’s being ‘overlooked’ and lost in the shuffle of the title match. 

“I wouldn’t see myself as the “third man”. I’m the man that the fans want to see as Ring of Honor champion. It’s time. You can’t beat my popularity at Ring of Honor. It’s time for a change. The fans want a champion who can give them those matches and memories that last forever. One that can take them on a ride. Both Cody and Dalton are great wrestlers, but if we’re all brutally honest with ourselves, they can’t lace my boots.”

Scurll referenced the legendary title reigns of guys like Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness, two men who stole the show every time they defended the gold. He doesn’t believe the ROH World Championship has had the prestige it once was and sees Best In The World as his chance to be the fighting champion fans crave. 

Scurll is a main character in the Being The Elite series. In this interview, he was asked what he has gained from his time on the show and the creativity of the Young Bucks.

“Wrestling is about connecting with the audience. Giving them a reason to care. Same reason I binge watch series on Netflix, because the stories and characters get me invested. It’s hard to get fans invested in just wrestling. Good wrestling will do that, but there’s lots of good wrestling these days. You have to be prepared to do more. To go the extra mile. Being The Elite is our platform. It’s our Monday Night Raw. You’re seeing our creativity and passion firsthand. There are no writers here, we’re not doing something we’re told to do. We’re the artists and we’re holding the paintbrushes.”
