I’ll never forget meeting Dem Boyz & knowing full well we were about to do some of the craziest business wrestling had ever seen.

I’m beside myself we never got to share the ring wit Dem Boyz.

Briscoes vs FTR is the best series of tag matches I’ve ever seen.

🙏🏼’s to the family

Steve & I were just talking about this night the other day & how we had so much fun BSing.

I was so intimidated to be sharing a locker room with both Jay & Mark in ROH, until I got to know them. Two of the kindest people I’ve ever met.

I’m heartbroken. Rest In Peace Jay. 💔 https://t.co/Whchk5vbEQ

— The Virtuosa (@DeonnaPurrazzo) January 18, 2023

I didn’t know Jay that well, but I remember a specific night at IMPACT just randomly hanging out with him and some others after the show, and he had me laughing until I was in tears.

Just an incredibly nice, down to earth person.

RIP, Jay.

Story time.

2017 I attended my first ROH Camp. I had every doubt running through my head you could ever expect, but I showed up and sowed out as best I could.

End of the camp, Jay Briscoe gets in the ring and gives a speech to everyone in attendance. He goes in hard. pic.twitter.com/yclXk0vdmF

RIP Jay Briscoe. My short time in ROH he was very kind, and helpful. Such an incredible wrestler. Part of one of the best tag teams ever. I would sit behind the curtains and watch everything The Briscoe's did. And if I wasn't close I'd be running to get there. Gone WAY too soon.

— マックス・ジ・インペイラー (@_theyaremax_) January 18, 2023

Damn….another one lost. Jay Briscoe was incredible to watch in the ring and I've nothing but good interactions and conversations with him outside it. Loved calling him and his brother in the ring too.

Truly a great wrestler. My condolences to his family. A tragic loss.
