Jay Briscoe’s name was banned from WarnerMedia in a big way. Tony Khan did everything he could to pay tribute to him, but an additional memorial show had to be filmed for ROH Honor Club instead. Those old tweets from Jay Briscoe, ones he apologized for and worked to recover from, still haunted him in WarnerMedia’s eyes.
While speaking on What Happened When, Conrad Thompson opened up a bit about this situation. He did not reveal any dollar amount, but he was assured that Tony Khan will take care of Jay Briscoe’s family.
“I don’t mean to betray any confidences, but let me say this. There is lots of rumors and innuendo from really good sources that Tony Khan is who we thought he was, and he’s going to do the right thing by that family as well. I don’t think he would necessarily want anybody to know that information, and I know it’s not your [Tony Schiavone] place to talk about it, but I will say that for all the criticism that gets thrown around ‘Tony this, Tony that.’ When the chips are down, he’s a dude.”
