Another major name pays tribute to the late Jay Briscoe.
Mick Foley recently paid tribute to Jay Briscoe on Facebook and Instagram, adding that he first saw Jay and his brother Mark perform at a ROH event on Long Island in 2005 and was immediately captivated by their enthusiasm for professional wrestling.
I just woke up to the sad news that Jay Briscoe has passed away in a terrible car accident in Delaware. I first saw Jay perform, along with his brother Mark, at an ROH show in Long Island in 2005, and was immediately impressed with their passion for professional wrestling – and the unique look and style that helped make them one of the finest tag teams in the world. Although I did not know the Briscoes well, I thought they were an amazing team, with a résumé of great matches with a who’s who of some of the greatest workers of their era. I last saw “Dem Boys” in action from a front row seat when they took on the Von Erichs at “Ric Flair’s Last Match” in July, 2022. My deepest condolences go out to to the Pugh family and the friends and fans of Jay Briscoe.
