I’ll never forget meeting Dem Boyz & knowing full well we were about to do some of the craziest business wrestling had ever seen.
I’m beside myself we never got to share the ring wit Dem Boyz.
Briscoes vs FTR is the best series of tag matches I’ve ever seen.
🙏🏼’s to the family

Steve & I were just talking about this night the other day & how we had so much fun BSing.
I was so intimidated to be sharing a locker room with both Jay & Mark in ROH, until I got to know them. Two of the kindest people I’ve ever met.
I’m heartbroken. Rest In Peace Jay. 💔 https://t.co/Whchk5vbEQ

I didn’t know Jay that well, but I remember a specific night at IMPACT just randomly hanging out with him and some others after the show, and he had me laughing until I was in tears.
Just an incredibly nice, down to earth person.
RIP, Jay.

There literally was not a kinder man to ever come through our locker room.
May God grant you eternal rest and shine perpetual light upon you.

Jay Briscoe (Jamin Pugh) was a real one. Every time we saw each other we’d both light up and hug one another. My condolences and prayers go out to his loved ones. Rest In Peace my brother.

Jay was someone who went out of his way to make sure I felt welcome in ROH. I will always have that to think about. Amazing father, amazing wrestler, and someone who personally was so very kind to me.
RIP Jay Briscoe
Condolences to his family, and all of his friends and fans.

I haven’t done that with any other match since I was a kid.

I have to put my phone down for a bit so I apologize if I don't respond timely but, if you were a fan of Jay Briscoe, you were a fan of Jamin Pugh. Jamin was a great, hard working man that wanted to make his family proud and entertain his fans. We will miss him dearly.
— Ian Riccaboni (@IanRiccaboni) January 18, 2023
RIP Jay Briscoe. My short time in ROH he was very kind, and helpful. Such an incredible wrestler. Part of one of the best tag teams ever. I would sit behind the curtains and watch everything The Briscoe's did. And if I wasn't close I'd be running to get there. Gone WAY too soon.
— Max The Impaler マックス・ジ・インペイラー (@_theyaremax_) January 18, 2023
Damn….another one lost. Jay Briscoe was incredible to watch in the ring and I've nothing but good interactions and conversations with him outside it. Loved calling him and his brother in the ring too.
Truly a great wrestler. My condolences to his family. A tragic loss.

One of the first faces to greet me & make me feel welcomed on my first day of ROH was Jay Briscoe.
My heart hurts for his brother, his wife, his children and all those who loved him ♥️ I am thankful I was able to know you Jay… If only briefly.— CHELSEA GREEN (@ImChelseaGreen) January 18, 2023
I'm deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Jay Briscoe. He was always the kindest to me during my time in ROH. My heart goes out to the entire family. I don't have the right words but I just wanted to say that he was such a good man. 💔

Jay Briscoe showed me respect and love when everyone told me he wouldn't. If you knew Jay, you knew he would uplift everyone in that locker room regardless of whatever world they came to wrestling from. The best. Rest easy, brother.
