Dylan Waco Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 One half of my favorite act in the history of indie wrestling. Watching him and Mark evolve from crazy spot monkey children, into deranged rednecks that work a hybrid style has been a real joy. I prefer him teaming with Mark, but he does have a real bad ass, "this guy is legitimately dangerous" vibe that makes him stand out as a singles guy as well. That makes it all the more funny that probably his most famous singles match was the mauling he suffered at the hands of Joe. Lots of tag matches I have really loved over the course of the years, and some damn fine singles matches make him someone I will consider from the indie scene.

WingedEagle Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Can we get a list of must see matches for Jay? Singles or tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InYourCase Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I think Jay's best two singles matches are vs. Jay Lethal from 6/19/15 and vs. Roderick Strong from 1/15/11 Was drafting my Top 50 last night and both Jay and Mark made my list and I might be the high vote on both. Jay came in at #41, Mark at #50. I absolutely love these guys. Both guys bring something different to the table (I'll explain more in the Mark thread) but having a list of the 100 best wrestlers and not including these two would be ridiculous to me. They both have very good-great singles matches, but they do the little things so well. I watch Jay work with a guy like a Donavon Dijak and Jay is a complete professional. He leads him to quality outings. Both guys, by all means, have the talent to be millionaires. Twitter has been their worst enemy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2BTD Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 People are going to watch Jay Briscoe tapes in 100 years and wonder how the hell this guy wasn't a mega star and how the hell he isn't considered an all time great. As Dylan said he has that legitimate dangerous aura about him, not just between the ropes but also in his promos, which are the most believable nd easiest to suspend disbelief for in the business today. Don't forget to check out the NOAH tags circa 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I agree with everything Joe says, and his second ROH title run (outside the 13th anniversary four-way) was quietly really good. Matches with Joe, Hansen, Fish, Lethal. His aura is (still) awesome. Incredibly underrated imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Lacelle Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I loved that Adam Page bout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dragon Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Feels like Jay got under talked about in 2016, and he’s another super interesting name to me. He’s been working 20 years now, with only a short break in there, and he’s been good-great most of it. Anyone have anything on standout performances in the last 5 years?

Briscoes vs. Rush & Dragon Lee from a few years ago was awesome. https://www.rohwrestling.com/top-videos/briscoes-vs-rush-and-dragon-lee Both he and Mark were in the 60-70 range for me in 2021. I feel like if I go back and revisit their really early work, they could climb up the ranks for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 I'm really intrigued by this guy. Between his consistency as a tag and gimmick match worker, and some really good performances in singles as well when given the chance, he might be on my list too, but I haven't seen enough of him yet. Definitely one of the guys I want to focus on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
