Mark Briscoe finally explains why he called out WWE and Triple H
Mark Briscoe recently explained why he called out WWE and Triple H during the ROH Final Battle Media Scrum, which had a lot of quotes coming out of it.
One of the discussions during the scrum was his retort to the social media post by WWE on FOX, which had Bobby Lashley, Montez Ford, and Angelo Dawkins referred to as 'Dem Boyz.'
Mark and Jay Briscoe, real-life brothers, wrestled as the tag team Briscoe Brothers in the ROH for more than two decades, and the term 'Dem Boyz' was associated with them for several years. There was some back and forth because of the tweet made by WWE on FOX, and Briscoe came clean when asked about the reasons behind his comments about the post.
"I saw the tweet that said ‘Dem Boyz’ with another tag team. When I saw it, I thought it was made that very day. It was made two days prior and I thought it was made by somebody from the other company, or at least had to be approved from somebody from the other company. I thought, 'Man, on the anniversary of this match that we had, they’re really going to do that? That’s kind of disrespectful. I can’t just keep silent.' There’s only one Dem Boyz," he said.

By 'the other company,' Briscoe meant WWE, which has Triple H as the Chief Content Officer.
