Tributes poured in from every corner of the community the minute Briscoe’s death was revealed to the public. The likes of Christopher Daniels, Taz, and Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D., and others all paid homage to the former ROH star. He also received messages from the WWE camp, including a touching one from people in Roman Reigns’ Bloodline.
The real-life Jamin Pugh was honored by The Usos on Twitter. They tweeted out a message paying tribute to him and his family.
It is nice to see wrestlers acknowledging the life of a fellow competitor from another promotion. We at Sportskeeda were saddened to hear of his passing and offer our most sincere condolences to his family and friends.
Tony Khan announces the news of Jay Briscoe’s death
Jay Briscoe’s tragic death was revealed to the world by AEW and ROH CEO, Tony Khan. In a tweet, he paid homage to the former ROH star and touched upon the success and impact he had on the promotion and on wrestling in general.
Briscoe’s resume glitters with championships and accomplishments. Talking about any particular one would be doing a disservice to the rest. Nevertheless, the man was a two-time ROH World Champion, a one-time ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion, and a staggering 13-time ROH World Tag Team Champion. All thirteen of them came alongside his brother, Mark Briscoe.
Before his death, the real-life Jamin Pugh was reigning as ROH World Tag Team Champion, having won the title from FTR in a Dog Collar match at ROH Final Battle. The Briscoes will most likely be stripped of their titles, but expect a proper tribute for the late wrestler before that is done.
