I never watched ROH, so I have never actually watched a Briscoes match. But I went down the rabbit hole of watching their promos on youtube the last few days, and good lord, their promos are gold, these guys had an absolutely amazing act. (My favorite is “Briscoe brothers shoot on ROH tag title tournament”)
I know you rate their matches high, but have you ever watched their promo videos? I also think Uncle Jethro is hilarious too, and wondering if he was so named as an homage to your “Dang Jethro!” Or maybe there are just lots of guys named Jethro?
I feel bad that I'm so late to appreciate them, and obviously feel terrible for the family and their loss and what the girls are going through.
RIP Jay
I remain as committed as ever to getting Dang Jethro over as the catchphrase for the 2020s but I don’t think there’s any connection.
But yeah, the Briscoes were great and they should have been part of AEW from jump street. Their promos would have been a piece of the puzzle that the promotion was lacking.
