23-year-old AEW star shares conversation with Jay Briscoe following impressive Jon Moxley match
The wrestling world was saddened by the loss of 21-year wrestling veteran Jay Briscoe. AEW star Darius Martin recently shared a conversation he had with the late star. Following his match against Jon Moxley, Martin conversed with the multi-time ROH World Tag Team Champion.
Jay Briscoe has been a part of Ring of Honor since 2002. He won the tag team titles a whopping 13 times along with his brother Mark Briscoe. They have also wrestled all around the world. The Briscoe Brothers have held the tag team titles in NJPW, IMPACT Wrestling, and many more. Jay is also a two-time ROH World Champion.
Upon hearing the tragic news, AEW star Darius Martin shared a tweet reminiscing upon the one time he texted the former ROH World Champion.
Martin had mentioned that he and his brother Dante Martin were eager to wrestle the Briscoe Brothers. Jay replied to it by agreeing to the two teams squaring up one day.
"I didn’t know Jay very well but the few times we’ve interacted he’s always been crazy supportive of Dante and I. I came to the back after the match with Mox/Danielson a couple weeks ago and saw this message. What a match that would’ve been. #Top5DeadOrAlive," Darius Martin tweeted.
