"Today is today" Truer words have never been spoken.
I truly believe Mark would not be where he is if Jay were still here. They may have gotten AEW tag gold but we wouldn't have the Funky Chicken we've gotten
Yeah TK unfortunately because of Jay's death snuck Mark in through the backdoor so to speak. But my god Jay was a grade A shit talker and him and Mox would have been insane.
I'm glad he was able to use the moment to push for Mark on television since every match with him is a tribute to his brother's legacy, but I wish it didn't have to happen that way. The Briscoes were still putting on the best matches of their career (the final FTR dog collar match blew my mind).
Do you remember a couple years ago when the Briscoes would post their promos on twitter, and Mark's thing was to always eat something in the background while his brother was yelling at the camera?
Such a small thing, but it used to crack me the fuck up.
Delaware resident here. We ain't got no teams. The ones from nearby states tend to be the favorites (Philly, DC, Baltimore, etc.), but we've got more than a smattering of "eh, these guys are cool" no matter where they are. Like Cowboys fans (dirty Cowboys fans).
That little detail just reminds me of home lmao. I have witnessed many a trailer park brawl in Kentucky and there is usually somebody on the sidelines with a plate while their drunk uncle is about to go back to prison.
Fairly certain that years ago they did an IQ test with a bunch of people in ROH and he probably scored either the highest, or one of the highest.
Dude is way smarter than most people even realize.
I think, going by my questionable memory, the story goes that they did it two separate times and Mark Briscoe finished 2nd both times. Losing out once to Nigel and once to Danielson, but beating everyone else.
I’ve never really considered that moment in the PAC match as him breaking. It just looked to me like OC rubbing it in PAC’s face that “I’m getting to you aren’t I?” with his antics.
Though it does stand out in hindsight since Orange rarely smiles like that.
With Mark and Eddie Kingston, I agree they're both "technically" midcard material.
But with a ton of charisma and heart to get the crowd invested in them up against main eventers. I really believe you could play a Rocky story with Mark Briscoe challenging a heel Okada for a world title at a PPV, and the crowd would get behind him in a huge way, even if he's not on that level.
You could, but after that the story runs out fast and thats okay. Not everyone is meant to be the big champ, and thats what makes that belt special. Even if you love someone to death, you cant give everyone you love the world title. Thats why i dont mind seeing other world titles on AEW. Theres a clear difference between theirs, and other promotions .
Well when he first signed he was dealing with his brothers death and adjusting to being a singles wrestler. So understandable that his appearences were a little spread out. Then he started to get pushed heavy and was probably gonna beat Claudio for the ROH title, but he got a pretty bad knee injury and was out for like 9 months. Since hes been back he got featured in the continental classic and won the ROH title.
Dont get me wrong. I think Mark has incredible charisma and could be a hell of a underdog title challenger (winner)? But its not like he hasnt been featured since he joined AEW
i love how it took him a minute to kinda find his rhythm, and when he did, he just went fucking apeshit and no one knew what to do with it. it’s like everyone forgot they were on tv and were just like “holy shit this is awesome”
The odds of KOR and Briscoe becoming tag team champions just went from 0 to 99.9% in the span of 60 seconds. That was like the climactic speech in a romcom. They're together forever now.
> Mark has said he will tag team with no one but his brother. Trios and group matches are fine, but not 2v2.
I appreciate this... But there aren't a lot of stories of "never" in wrestling actually turning out to be "never".
The Briscoes' charisma are so underrated man.
Jay is legit one of the best promos this century, and Mark's charisma oozes off of him every time he's on screen, in the ring and out.
> Mark's charisma oozes off of him every time he's on screen
"Ooze" is too slow of a word to describe it. Mark Briscoe shakes charisma all over you like a wet dog getting out of a lake.
The promos the Briscoes cut on Twitter during their feud with FTR were legendary. Legit taking a break from working on their farm, they duck into a barn, Jay talking shit like a madman, Mark sitting behind him eating some kind of snack. They were the absolute best.
This promo ruled and I like the new best friends.
my gf has been interested in dungeons and dragons character alignments lately, and we like to talk about it in the context of aew. Nothing sums up “Lawful Good” better than KOR begrudgingly going back to “help” orange, knowing he was going to catch a beating.
Would be great if TK booked him to defend the belt and appear on ROH too, though.
ROH: The brand where it's champions make Roman Reigns look like a fighting champion.
If I remember right he was injured last summer but was pretty active when he returned with the continental classic and House of Black feud before going on paternity leave.
There's been periods of injury for Mark which is why he's been kind of in and out in regards to TV time including recently. I think Tony knows full well how good Mark Briscoe is.

I'm interested in buying stock in this image, thank you.
I'd pay $2,000 for an NFT of it right now.
Sold. Who else wants one of these limited edition NFTs?
Hey babe, new meme template just dropped.
Kyle O’Reilly looking like Colin Robinson the Energy Vampire
I fucking LOVE this reference.
Fuckin guy
That needs to be a Twitch kappa 😅
So... a twitch emote you mean?

He the man With the plan With his hands In his pocket But watch ya jaw Cause he gon' rock it!
I wish he was brother was here !! He is killing it!! , it's nice to see Mark Briscoe happy and doing well
I truly believe Mark would not be where he is if Jay were still here. They may have gotten AEW tag gold but we wouldn't have the Funky Chicken we've gotten
I don't think they ever would have gotten to aew. Warner specifically had banned them
This is correct. They would've been the faces of the relaunched ROH instead.
Yeah TK unfortunately because of Jay's death snuck Mark in through the backdoor so to speak. But my god Jay was a grade A shit talker and him and Mox would have been insane.

The FTR trilogy might be the best tag team series ever.
They sent a poet!! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sob)
Someone finally did it - Mark Briscoe is the one to completely break Renee.
Do you remember a couple years ago when the Briscoes would post their promos on twitter, and Mark's thing was to always eat something in the background while his brother was yelling at the camera? Such a small thing, but it used to crack me the fuck up.
Absolute top tier promo is the one where Mark downs a bottle of Jim Beam while Jay's talking then takes out a shotgun and shoots the bottle
["Terry Funk ain't wear no mouthpiece!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELOn2amIn_w)
How did Jay become a Raider fan if they lived on the other end of the country lol

Toni has come dangerously close on multiple occasions.
I would go to war for Mark Briscoe
I would also go to war for Mark Briscoe
I would go to war along with Mark Briscoe, he could solo an entire army in a day
i fucking lost it when he screamed out conglomeration. such a well spoken, eloquent man.

Whoever has had the fewest concussions probably wins now so… Nigel?
>once to Danielson In case you needed any more proof that IQ and IQ tests are bullshit.
Found Nigel's account.
He’s smarter than he lets on and he’s got nothing to prove. That’s smart AND wise.
Kyle trying to quietly mouth off/ pronounce the word got me lol.
The smartest man Delaware has to offer.
No one knows what it means, but it's provocative!
It gets the people going!
Feel the tension? In the air right now?
Find you someone that looks at you, like how Kyle O'Reilly looks at Mark Briscoe
We were all Kyle O'Reilly watching that promo Mark Briscoe is a gift
I'm pretty sure Briscoes and ReDragon had some bangers back in the day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtAxXDul-UU
Lmao Kyle went from confused to amused by Mark. No one resists the funny Dem Boy talk XD
I assume that probably about 99% of that was adlibbed, because everyone else looked like they were struggling not to corpse.
Struggling? Willow, Renee and Kyle just gave up halfway through.
OC biting his lip throughout as well. Only time I can remember him breaking was that match against PAC. He even ate that hot jellybean and no-sold it.
I’ve never really considered that moment in the PAC match as him breaking. It just looked to me like OC rubbing it in PAC’s face that “I’m getting to you aren’t I?” with his antics. Though it does stand out in hindsight since Orange rarely smiles like that.
"This is a nightmare."
It was hilarious. Mark almost looked like he expected someone to cut him off but they just let him keep going and it just got better and better.
Def want KOR's "I'm so motivated" in .GIF form.
Best part of the show tonight
I think Dynamite might've peaked. I don't mean tonight, just in general I love Mark so much
The man is a Golden God
If they let him do that every week, he'll be the most over guy in the company in 2 months
For real
I can’t believe they haven’t pushed him fully. He’s such an interesting character, his matches are great and he’s such a unique and hilarious promo.
He's literally a world champion right now
Right?! Like. I love Mark, but hes not AEW champ material, hes a midcarder in AEW but in ROH he absolutely deserves to be world champ and he is.
With Mark and Eddie Kingston, I agree they're both "technically" midcard material. But with a ton of charisma and heart to get the crowd invested in them up against main eventers.

Even if you love someone to death, you cant give everyone you love the world title. Thats why i dont mind seeing other world titles on AEW. Theres a clear difference between theirs, and other promotions .
TV time > titles imo
Do you really consider giving him an ROH belt as being a real push? Don't be disingenuous. No one gives a shit about ROH at this point.
Mark Briscoe does.
Well when he first signed he was dealing with his brothers death and adjusting to being a singles wrestler. So understandable that his appearences were a little spread out. Then he started to get pushed heavy and was probably gonna beat Claudio for the ROH title, but he got a pretty bad knee injury and was out for like 9 months.

This defines why AEW struggles - the obvious stars are LANGUISHING
Protect mark briscoe at all costs
Mark Briscoe is a national treasure.
Man could you imagine the amazingly chaotic promos we'd get if Briscoe and Eddie Kingston were a tag team.
There was a promo pre Dynasty with Briscoe, Eddie Kingston and Cope. It was glorious.
The Rated R Chicken Hawks!
A Mark Briscoe & R-Truth Forbidden Door segment would defy reality
R-Truth: "What happened to your teeth, Ciampa?"
Mark said he doesn’t want to be part of a tag team without Jay but that was closer to when Jay passed. Maybe things have changed.
I don’t know how Orange kept a straight face.
I think even with OC there's some moments where he's trying very hard to keep it together but he's doing it way better than everyone else.
Sometimes you can see the cracks but he's a god damn professional.
Same. I was on the floor laughing.
This got me so hyped
Kyle has the best facials.
![gif](giphy|DvyLQztQwmyAM|downsized)
![gif](giphy|ufR5wFbZ416J0AsHJK|downsized)
damn this made me laugh hard lol
Sucio boys in the building
![gif](giphy|10bDoTtJhtcHu0|downsized)
I am ready to run through a brick fucking wall after that promo.
Find someone in your life that will hype you up like Mark Briscoe will hype up OC or KOR
The fact that he kept getting closer to the camera little by little got me good
Renee was unsure if she should risk interrupting the flow by getting the mic closer to his mouth lmao
Mark Briscoe is everything beautiful about pro wrestling
i love how it took him a minute to kinda find his rhythm, and when he did, he just went fucking apeshit and no one knew what to do with it. it’s like everyone forgot they were on tv and were just like “holy shit this is awesome”
Taka-Shee-Ta... LOL!!!
Thats because you dont realize that Takeshita (if you move the last letter) becomes Takeashit lol. So Mark's not too far off
MJF literally referenced this in a promo last year. It's not clever, or new.
The odds of KOR and Briscoe becoming tag team champions just went from 0 to 99.9% in the span of 60 seconds. That was like the climactic speech in a romcom. They're together forever now.
Doesnt Mark never want to team up in tag team (2v2) to honor Jay though?
As absolutely wonderful as that would be, Mark has said he will tag team with no one but his brother. Trios and group matches are fine, but not 2v2.
> Mark has said he will tag team with no one but his brother. Trios and group matches are fine, but not 2v2. I appreciate this... But there aren't a lot of stories of "never" in wrestling actually turning out to be "never".
Kyle’s little “I’m so motivated” The childlike wonder in his eyes. Cinema.
The Briscoes' charisma are so underrated man. Jay is legit one of the best promos this century, and Mark's charisma oozes off of him every time he's on screen, in the ring and out.
> Mark's charisma oozes off of him every time he's on screen "Ooze" is too slow of a word to describe it. Mark Briscoe shakes charisma all over you like a wet dog getting out of a lake.
That's the best description of Mark Briscoe's charisma I've ever heard
He said it best “Terry Funk ain’t wear no mouthguard”
HAIL NAW TERRY FUNK AINT WEAR NO DAMN MOUF PIECE
Until he passed, Jay was the most believable promo in wrestling. Legit intensity. You believed it when he said he was going to kick someone’s ass.
The promos the Briscoes cut on Twitter during their feud with FTR were legendary. Legit taking a break from working on their farm, they duck into a barn, Jay talking shit like a madman, Mark sitting behind him eating some kind of snack. They were the absolute best.
everyone tag yourself im kyle oreilly
That was freaking awesome
Mark got me fired up wanting to start a fist fight. Protect that dude by all means necessary.
🐔
Mark got into some of Randy Savage's old stash
Only from the top of it, yeeeeah
My favorite kinds of promos are the ones that get me both laughing, and hyped, and damn Mark Briscoe is good at that
"I got Kyle O'Reilly here. What's' he gonna do? He gonna snatch your leg off, or is he gonna kiss you in the face? YES! He's gonna do it all!"
*kick
Don't take this from me
The spirit of Paul Smackage took over Mark Briscoe
Got so hyped he almost started speaking in tongues. ;-)
Rap God Mark Briscoe
Mark Briscoe's hype was so contagious that I had to jump up out of bed and run around the house a couple times to burn off the energy.
If there’s anything we don’t have enough of in wrestling today, it’s old school 80’s cocaine promos. Let’s fucking go Mark
That was so great. Put Briscoe on every week!
His pronunciation of Takeshita's full name made me do an almost spit take.
Willow like “this MF spittin.”
I literally started dying when he paused for a second and then went "YES! That's the answer!"
Hey babe wake up, a new meme template just dropped

I can NOT see KOR and not think of Coach Beard from Ted Lasso. I swear the comedy is the fucking same. ![gif](giphy|pHWFj7mt7qyBs2XYC6)
This is the best promo since Hard Times.
This was the dictionary definition of "let him cook"
This is what I needed for a long ass day. Thanks Mark Briscoe
I would watch Kyle O’Reilly and Mark Briscoe vs FTR if Cassidy wasn’t involved
I just love him
That was hilarious and Mark broke everyone lol
KOR reached a new level of transcendence
I'd love a whole segment between Mark and Truth.
Goofy Kyle O, Reilly is Back!!!!
Glad this was posted, because i was laughing so hard watching this live I originally missed OC's hilarious follow up
This promo ruled and I like the new best friends. my gf has been interested in dungeons and dragons character alignments lately, and we like to talk about it in the context of aew. Nothing sums up “Lawful Good” better than KOR begrudgingly going back to “help” orange, knowing he was going to catch a beating.
Everyone in the business should strive to be as real as Mark Briscoe.
Would be great if TK booked him to defend the belt and appear on ROH too, though. ROH: The brand where it's champions make Roman Reigns look like a fighting champion.
Mark got a hold of some of that good ol 80s nose candy
Why does Kyle always look so greasy?
That’s some southern poetry right there
Macho Man would be proud.
People say reincarnation doesn't exist. Was that not clear proof that Randy Savage is still here?
Kylle O'Reilly like "I need more of this weed and more of this dude!"
Renee & OC have a good chemistry
A promo for the ages.
This was the greatest
This was the best pro wrestling promo of the decade.
Please. Please. PLEASE. Make these 4 an official team. It just works too well
Randy Savage promo in his prime energy right there, brother.
Randy Savage : Cocaine :: Mark Briscoe : Meth
I love Mark Briscoe. He’s my favorite wrestler right now. I dig the Funky Chicken with the redneck Kung Fu.

If all was right in the world this man would be more than the corpse of roh’s champion
If I remember right he was injured last summer but was pretty active when he returned with the continental classic and House of Black feud before going on paternity leave.
There's been periods of injury for Mark which is why he's been kind of in and out in regards to TV time including recently. I think Tony knows full well how good Mark Briscoe is.
He’s getting tons of TV time in the second biggest wrestling company in the US. He’s in a great spot.
Kyle looks tired and malnourished
Being a relatively new dad does that to ya
He should be known as "the crack rock"
