Jay Briscoe, real name Jamin Pugh, was a professional wrestling legend. He had an incredibly illustrious career in a tag team alongside his brother, Mark. Jay has been wrestling for over 20 years and has held countless championships. Jay spent most of his career wrestling with his brother, the two are known as the Briscoes and are the face of ROH. The Briscoes have been the face of tag team wrestling for the last two decades. Mark and Jay recently had one of the best tag team matches of all time last year with FTR. Their trilogy with FTR is easily one of the best in professional wrestling history. So the entire wrestling industry is mourning the loss of Jay Briscoe.

A Legacy Like None Other
