One of the top highlights of my short ROH run and career was being able to not only work with the Briscoes, but having the absolute privilege to wrestle Mark and Jay. One of the best wrestlers to ever do it and always so nice and helpful to everyone.

Rest in peace. twitter.com/tonykhan/statu…

Sadly, Jamin Pugh has passed away. Known to fans as Jay Briscoe, he was a star in ROH for over 20 years, from the first show until today.
Jay and his brother Mark dominated ROH, reigning as champions to this day. We'll do whatever we can to support his family.
Rest In Peace Jamin

I watched The Double Dog collar match 3 times in the 24 hrs after it aired.

I haven’t done that with any other match since I was a kid.

Jay, along with his brother Mark Briscoe had a successful run as a tag team, winning the ROH World Tag Team Championship 13 times, including their most recent victory in the Final Battle 2022 when they defeated FTR. Jay himself also held the ROH World Championship title.

We here at Sportskeeda send our condolences to his family, friends, and all those affected by his passing.
