More on the Briscoes Re-Signing With ROH

In a follow up to the news this week about Jay and Mark Briscoe signing new two year deals with Ring of Honor, a new report by Dave Meltzer has revealed that WWE had extended an offer to both more than a month ago.

The Briscoe's informed ROH about the WWE offer and ROH was able to beat the offer. When The Briscoe's went back to Canyon Ceman of WWE about the new ROH offer, Ceman informed them that WWE wasn't going to give them a new offer and they stayed.

The Briscoe's are expected to take part in multiple New Japan tours under the new ROH deal.

Opinionated View- Given this is by Dave I am calling BS on most. ROH beat the WWE in an offer. Yeah right by all reports ROH is supposed to slash its budget. It sounds more like the WWE wised up and lost interest in the no talent spot monkeys. And New Japan wants them... I'll just point out if New Japan wanted them than why not book them before. That's right because only ROH is stupid enough to keep booking them.

The Briscoes Sign New Two Year Deasl With ROH

Ring of Honor sent this in.
Briscoes Stay Home in ROH –
Jay & Mark Sign new 2 Year Contracts!
The Briscoe Brothers have been with Ring of Honor "since day one," and now, ROH can confirm that the Briscoes are here to stay!
Jay and Mark have nearly thirty years of combined experience between the ropes , have traveled the world, and have earned many champioships along the way. Jay Briscoe is in the midst of an incredible second run as World Champion, a feat accomplished by only two men in the entire history of ROH, and together, the Briscoes hold the record for ROH Tag Team Championships with eight amazing reigns.
The Briscoes built their legacies in Ring of Honor and for Dem Boys from Sandy Fork, there's no place like home...and no place like Ring of Honor.

Opinionated View- Its not like the Briscoes had any other option. WWE doesn't want them. TNA doesn't want them notice how no company from Japan or Mexico has used them in years. Hell they don't even get booked by other high level indies anymore. ROH is the only company stupid enough to keep these two untalented spot monkeys around

Mark says that he is here and wonders where SCUM is. Mark says that he has a doctor’s note that says that he is medically cleared to wrestle.

Michael says that there is nothing that means as much to him as the Ring of Honor World Title. There is nothing that means as much to him in the world of wrestling as the Ring of Honor World Title. When he heard that the title was going to be handed to him, he told Nigel that there was a better way. Nigel put 16 of the best wrestlers in the world in a tournament for the right to call themselves Ring of Honor World Champion.

That is him and 15 other guys. The other 15 have to look into his eyes. They need to know that what he is saying is the absolute truth. He doesn’t have to worry about them, they have to worry about him.

Kevin Steen emerges and he calls Elgin a liar and suggests that his pants might be on fire. Steen says that if Elgin was wearing any pants, they would be on fire. If you say you are not worrying about anyone in the tournament, you are lying. Steen says that Michael is worried about the one person he cannot beat and that is him.

Steen says that when he was the champion, people were saying that Elgin was going to beat him. When they met in the ring in Toronto, he did not win. Now that they are in the ring together, he is here to tell Michael and his mullet that it is not going to happen.

Michael says that Kevin is right that he beat him, but that was ten months ago. It took a package piledriver from the top rope. Michael tells Kevin that he is making a promise that it won’t happen again.

Kevin asks Michael if he is sure about that and he tells Michael to try him.

Michael Bennett and Maria Kanellis come out and Kevin introduces them as “Maria and Someone Else”.

Michael calls Kevin witty. He says that we have a collection of talent in the ring. People see pure talent in the ring. Bennett says that he sees two guys who have been opportunity after opportunity. He sees two guys who have been given main event after main event. He sees the past of Ring of Honor.

While those two have been given main events and opportunities, Michael says that he was being told ‘not right now’, or ‘wait another week’, or ‘you aren’t getting a chance because you are leaving Ring of Honor’. Bennett says that Mike Bennett is leaving Ring of Honor, but Michael Bennett is staying.

Tommaso Ciampa’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring. He takes Bennett’s mic and he gets in everyone’s face and then he says that your next Ring of Honor Champion is the Sicilian Psychopath. Ciampa leaves the ring.

Mark Briscoe Final Entrent For ROH Titel Tournament

Ring of Honor announced that Mark Briscoe is the final entrant in the 16-man ROH Title tournament. Read the official announcement at ROHwrestling.com.

Opinionated View- Well this is interesting. The real question is if this is Mark making one final appearance or a comeback. I have to say I am very unimpressed by the tournament names. There are some good talents but over all it's just weak.

The Briscoe Brothers Spotted At WWE House Show

Jay and Mark Briscoe were spotted at the WWE house show in Ocean City MD. The two have attened WWE shows in the past having had tickets left for them by friends who work for the company. According to some reports I have read the two were sitting in the front row.  From what I understand the brothers have not signed with the WWE as of this time. And some in ROH still expect them to return at some point.

ROH Release Video With Jay Briscoe

ROH has released the following video of Jay Briscoe. Of course the big news last week was the Jay and his brother Mark were done with the company.





https://www.facebook.com/RealWrestlingNewsAndOpinionatedViews

Opinionated View- This could just be that Jay will return to drop the title or he and Mark aren't leaving or the fans backlash convinced ROH to keep them around.

ROH Issues Kayfabe Statement on The Briscoes

The following statement was issued by Ring of Honor regarding Jay and Mark Briscoe.

Last weekend in Baltimore was a physically brutal one for both World Champion Jay Briscoe and his “Best in the World 2013” challenger Mark Briscoe. The brothers tore into one another in one of the more physical championship battles and it ultimately required Jay to utilize multiple Jay Drillers in order to put his brother down for the three count. Unfortunately, as a result of those maneuvers and the general punishment suffered in the bout, Mark Briscoe was forced out of his spot in the Steel Cage Warfare bout that went down during the following day's “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV Tapings.

As for Jay, the day of those tapings he defended his title once again, this time against S.C.U.M's Matt Hardy and although he was victorious in the bout, following the match the champion was viciously assaulted with a steel chair by S.C.U.M and left laying.

Unfortunately, ROHWrestling.com has since learned that, as a result of the injuries sustained during “Best in the World” weekend, both Jay and Mark will be out of action indefinitely. Mark suffered severe head trauma as a result of the bout with his brother while Jay apparently has a fractured shoulder and torn rotator cuff coming from the assault at the hands of S.C.U.M. At this point it is unknown how long Jay and Mark will be out of action but we will stay on top of the story to provide you with details as they are made available to us.

ROHWrestling.com also contacted Match Maker Nigel McGuinness for an update on how this would affect the championship held by Jay Briscoe and he informed us that there will be an announcement made soon regarding the status of the ROH World Title. Nigel did inform us that he intended to announce this week that Michael Elgin would receive his championship opportunity on August 3rd in Toronto but now that is in question. ROHWrestling.com has hear rumors that with Elgin scheduled to be the next man in line for a shot, he may be the World Title due to forfeit.

All of the events that led to this will be seen on “Ring of Honor Wrestling” TV broadcasts over the course of the next several weeks or you will be able to see it all unfold very shortly courtesy of the Early Bird TV options here (http://www.rohwrestling.com/tv/current) on ROHWrestling.com.

Stay tuned for more details on the status of the World Title as they are made available...

https://www.facebook.com/RealWrestlingNewsAndOpinionatedViews

Opinionated View- Nice to see ROH finally say something about there world champion and the man that just got a title shot leaving the company. But I don't know if doing a Kayfabe statement  will do much there a lot of ROH fans that upset about his. 

Update on the Briscoe Brothers Leaving ROH

Jay and Mark Briscoe are no longer with Ring of Honor, asPWTorch.com's Sean Radican and James Caldwell report that their contracts with the company have expired and will not be renewed at this time. The story also states that executives at Sinclair Broadcasting, the ROH parent company, only recently became aware of Jay's controversial tweets regarding homosexuality and gay marriage. 

https://www.facebook.com/RealWrestlingNewsAndOpinionatedViews

Opinionated View- Just shows how on top of things ROH's parent company is if they are just finding out about that. The fact ROH kept the belt on Jay even with his contract expiring is just insane.

Report Say The Briscoe Brother Are Done With ROH

From the PWInsider audio update thanks to the ROH world forum that did the transcript

All signs are pointing that Mark and Jay Briscoe have wrestled for the last time in Ring of Honor. Yes, that Jay Briscoe, the ROH World Champion. Ring of Honor did not have Mark Briscoe appear on the TV taping on Sunday. They ran an angle that he had been injured the night before against Jay Briscoe leading to Kevin Steen getting involved in the Steel Cage Warfare match that was the main event of the tapings and what ROH built up to in thr 4 weeks of TV. However, Ring of Honor also did an angle where, after defeating Matt Hardy, to retain the ROH Championship, Jay Briscoe was attacked by Hardy and Steve Corino and a couple of other heels and laid out and beaten down..pretty much destroyed and it was described to be as a heavy, heavy, heavy angle. And in speaking to a number of Ring of Honor sources, over the last 12 hours or so, that was the last scheduled appearance for either Briscoe brother for the forseeable future. There is talk they may be departing the company and at the very least they will be on a hiatus for some time. This has nothing to do with the Jay Briscoe Twitter incident, it was something arranged way prior to this PPV & TV taping. The story making the rounds is that they were leaving for greener pastures, but they may not be leaving. Atthe very least they will be on a hiatus and what the hell this means for the ROH Championship, your guess is as good as mine. Common sense would dictate that Briscoe will be stripped of the belt if he is not coming back or if he's going to be on an extended hiatus, similar to TNA stripping Rob Van Dam of his championship in 2010.

Opinionated View-  I have made it clear over the years I am not a Briscoe Brother fans. I have never gotten the big deal about them or why they get so much praise. But for ROH not to have Jay drop the title before he leaves is insane you could have had Hardy win it or hell you don't want Hardy plenty of set up to have a Adam Cole win or heck do Mania 9 booking if you want a face champion.

I know a while back there a report WWE was interested in Jay and Mark but I just can't see them lasting they worked for TNA for a brief time but I have never heard of any real interest in brining them back. I guess it could be Japan or Mexico if they are leaving.
