Bill Apter recently honored Jay Briscoe
Bill Apter has honored Jay Briscoe after his tragic death. The legendary wrestler made his mark under Ring of Honor, where he previously held the ROH World Championship.

It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the tragic passing of Jamin Pugh, known to wrestling fans around the world as Jay Briscoe. Our thoughts are with his family, his friends, and his fans. https://t.co/g95ID0ZnDW
Apter briefly discussed how devoted Jay was as a family man, as he said:
"I had the opportunity to hang out with him and his brother, of course, backstage at Ring of Honor quite a bit. On a personal end here, he was such a nice, sweet, fun loving guy. I remember being at Steve Corino's wedding many years ago and The Briscoes were there and I had such a wonderful time with both of them. It's such a tragedy that a young guy, who is such a devoted family man as well, has passed in an automobile accident."
The Briscoe Brothers never officially made their debut in AEW but have been mentioned on AEW TV, courtesy of their intense rivalry with FTR.
We here at Sportskeeda send our condolences to Jay's family, friends, and all those affected by his passing.
