Mark Briscoe Reflects On ROH Final Battle Match

AEW

Former ROH World Tag Team Champion Mark Briscoe has reflected on his Jay Briscoe tribute match from ROH Final Battle 2023.

At ROH Final Battle, Mark Briscoe and FTR defeated Blackpool Combat Club’s Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley in a Fight Without Honor. It was a touching tribute to an all-time great following the shocking passing of Jay Briscoe in January 2023.

Speaking at the post-show press conference, Mark was asked how he was feeling given the year he’s had. He answered:

“This is therapy. Real talk. This is therapy. Ain’t a shrink in the world that can do for me what tonight did. It’s hard to put into words.”

“Me and my brother, we started training in February 2000, had our first match in May 2000. We’re coming up on 24 years, a quarter century. It’s crazy.”

“All of a sudden, in the blink of an eye, he’s gone. How do you carry on? Look at what we did tonight. That’s how you carry on.”

“These boys right here [FTR]. It’s crazy how God works. He brought us into their lives, he brought them into our lives.”

“My good man Tony Khan has been the mediator. The guy who made it happen. It’s crazy how God works. Just how the Briscoes and FTR. It’s forever. We’re synonymous.”

“If you mention Briscoes, you think of FTR. If you mention FTR, you’ll think of the Briscoes. It’s amazing. Tonight was so therapeutic. I’m happy,” 

Mark Briscoe is set to finish his Blue League matches in the AEW Continental Classic tournament when he faces Jay Lethal on the December 20 Holiday Bash edition of AEW Dynamite.
