Mark Briscoe Considered Retiring After Jay Briscoe’s Passing

In an interview with Under the Ring (via Fightful), Mark Briscoe revealed that he considered retiring from wrestling after the death of his brother Jay in January of last year. Jay Briscoe passed away after a car accident.

Mark said: “That was my first thought. My very first thought was, I’m not ever wrestling again. But it didn’t take long, it really didn’t take long at all for me to reconsider and change my mind there once I got thinking about what he’d want me to do. My initial reaction was, I’m never wrestling again, I don’t ever wanna wrestle again. Like I said, when I thought about what he would’ve wanted me to do, yeah, I can’t not wrestle. I can’t just quit at this point, I gotta carry on for him.“
