Speaker 2 (00:58):
This is Barbarsto and you're listening to Foundation Radio.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Peace World and welcome back to Foundation Radio. My name
is Adam Bernard. Thank you so much for joining me
again today. My guest is the current Ring of Honor Champion.
He is a thirteen time Ring of Honor Tag Team
champion and a member of the conglomeration Mark Briscoe. Thank
you so much for your time, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
How are you good? What's up Adam? How you doing? Man?
Oh Man?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Living the dream here? It's always a sunny day here
in Philadelphia. Glad for your time. I appreciate you stopping
by and chatting with me. First, I wanted to jump
into real fast the Ring of Honor Championship. I know
this is your first Ring of Honor Ring of Honor
Singles title. What was that moment like winning the title
for you? You know you're the second brisco to hold
that title. What did that moment mean for you?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Man?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It was uh, you know, I think sometimes people throw
good excuse me, throw around the word you know, special
like special moments. Oh, that was so special like that.
This was a legit special moment. You know, it was
a legit like It's just how everything lined up, you know,
eleven years to the day of when my brother won
(02:37):
the title in the city of Philadelphia where Ring of
Honor started just uh, you know what I mean, the
biggest wrestling weekend of the year, and you know that
to be so close to home. So I got dozens
of friends and family that just drove two hours up
the road, and it was a it was a really cool,
really cool it was a once in a lifetime moment,
(02:59):
and it's something that I'll always always cherished, you.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Know, yeah, absolutely, And I know that I read recently
too that Eddie Kingston specifically asked for you as his opponent.
What does that mean for you overall? For him to
be like, yeah, I want Mark Briscoe to be the guy.
I want him basically anointing you as the next guy.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What did that mean to you?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I mean, we've been knowing Kingston for years and years now,
and he came up in Philly too. You know, he's
a New York guy, but he really made his mark
in my opinion, Chakara was his kind of his.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Kind of where he cut his teeth, which is a
Philadelphia promotion.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
So just knowing Eddie for so long, in being real
close with Eddie for so long is just like I
wouldn't expect nothing else from Eddie, but it's still when
it happened, just like wow, Like it just confirms, like, man,
it's a cool ass dude.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Man, Like it's my boy here.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
But it's just really he's actually the one who realized
and who noticed that it was eleven years to the
day of when when.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
My brother won it. He brought that to my attention.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I was like, no, no way, exactly the same day,
and I mean it's the same the same. So it's
the same the same weekend because Jay won it in
New York on Super Card weekend and then eleven years
to the day I went it in Philly and it
was just yeah, man, Like I said, I ain't got
(04:31):
enough good things to say about Eddie and I won't
expect nothing less from him.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He just a real He the last of a dying breed,
as he says, he certainly is.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
And it's it's really cool, like I said, knowing that
context and having that information, it's a it's cool that
that that he was able to make that happen for you.
I read also today during the prep for this conversation,
that Chris Jericho has officially challenged you for a rematch
for the Ring of Honor title on Dynamite this Wednesday
coming up. How confident are you in defeating christ Jericho
(05:02):
again for a second time? And what are you planning
to do in this rematch coming out?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Well, see Jericho, he just don't know when to shut up, man.
He don't know when to He don't know when to
quit running in his mouth. And I know he's made
a career of recreating himself and reinventing himself and all
these different personas and all these different characters. Well, his
new character's gonna be the guy that gets his ass
well by Mark Briskow on a damn near weekly or
(05:27):
bi weekly basis, because he just don't know when to
shut up man, And he and he's real slick with it,
what they call it passive aggressive. He'll say something like
I'm gonna be a two time Rio Banna champion, just
like Jay Briscoe. Like, yeah, okay, if you should so
happen to win, then okay, I get it. You will
be a two time Ringobana champion, just like Jay Briscoe.
(05:49):
But the shittiness that it just comes forth, it just
comes from a shitty place, and it's like, man, you
really you you barking up the wrong tree man? You
really you? You playing with fire and like to me,
it's not even about the title on Wednesday, because I done,
I learned, I done. I think I proved my point
in one on one wrestling match at wrestled Dream. Even
(06:13):
when his boys try to get involved. You know, I
had my backup, but I beat him pending one, two
three in the middle of the ring. But now he
just wants to keep under his mouth. I think he's
just trying his best to stay relevant. But I'm the
wrong one. I'm the wrong one.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You understand what I'm saying. I'm the wrong one.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I'm not the one that you want to do that
with because I'll put you out of the game.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I will. This will be your swan song man, this
will be it for you. You won't.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
You might not be able to get up and walk
for a couple of days. Like I'm the wrong one man,
Like I'm a I'm a violent individual. Me and my
brother we came into this game with with with just blinders,
where it's just violence is just all that we all that,
all that we want to do, all that, all that
(06:57):
we're good at, is just hurting people. It's not doing
fancy flips and acrobatics. It's just hurting people. And just
the intensity is just going, going in, going hard. And
so Chris Jericho, that made a big mistake, man, And
I mean, this might very well be it for him.
This might be the end of his long, luxurious career
just because he don't know when to shut his mouth.
(07:17):
But I got nothing but confidence. I got nothing. I
almost feel like I just got to be able to
not get too out of control with my emotions because
the way that I want to but what I want
to do to him and how I want to hurt
him just because he don't know you don't know when
to shut up. I'm telling you, man, it's definitely going
to be one day nobody wants to miss this Wednesday
(07:39):
night on Dynamite.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I was just gonna say it's gonna be this Wednesday
aw Dynamite, eight pm, Eastern Star. Check your local listings
to make sure you check it out. Listen. I remember
the dull collar match with FTR. I know how violent
you guys can get, and I can't imagine what's in
store for Chris Jericho coming up on Wednesday. But speaking
of the FTR trilogy, It's one of my favorite sets
of matches I think I've ever watched. And knowing that
(08:04):
and also the impact that it had on tag team
wrestling in general, what did those matches mean to you?
And specifically the dog collar match had happened at the
end of twenty twenty two, What did those what did
that match mean to you?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
And the the trilogy with FTR is something that I
don't think it never is going to stand on his
own for eternity, man for it's like there will will
never be anything else like it.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It was like me and Jay were we were thankful
to be.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
With Ring of Honor in the twenty tens because they
really took us as family men, as fathers and husbands.
We really got financially secure working for a Ring of
Honor with Sinclair Broadcast and owned the company, and it
was just it was it was such a necessary season
(09:01):
and such a necessary step in our lives just as
family men, because we needed to get a little bit
of financial footing, if you know what I mean. But
at the same time we were we were it's almost
like we were caged in. We were locked in because
we were exclusive Ring of Honor and we couldn't really
dabble here and there. We got to do some New
(09:23):
Japan stuff because Ring of Honor was working with New
Japan with a with a working agreement or whatever. But
then then somehow we snuck out and we went through
the Hardy Boys down in Omega, which was I don't
know how we pulled that off.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I think there was a little bit of.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Strategic wording of when we kind of brought it up
to the brass at Sinclair, But either way, it was
like that basically that whole decade, we're locked down as
far as where we can go and who we can wrestle.
And then the minute that it becomes a thing where
(10:01):
the case door is open again we can go here there,
and we can go elsewhere, then it's like, man, one
of the first things that started to materialize, it is
like the universe just started to materialize. It was that
FTR Dax called out Briscoes on his Twitter page, and
from there it just is like one thing after another
(10:25):
after another.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's still like, oh, this is never gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
This is still so far out of the realm of possibility.
It's a dream match, yes, but sure it ain't never,
it's not never really gonna happen. And then it's the
Briscoes versus the Kingdom at Final Battle back in twenty
one two that twenty one and you know, we tore
the house now with them boys, like we normally do.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
But it was kind of like we all thought that
there was.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Ring of Honors farewell, but then the lights go out
after the match, the lights come back on and there's
Dax and Cash and it's like, what the hell, you know,
I've never even like I didn't even know, like there
they are. It's like, what the well, you know, what's
going on here?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Who's who's pulling the strings? Who made this happen?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
But and then it's like from there it's still like,
you know, it's still not it's like what this.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Match ever happened? Probably not?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
But then it's like toty kampy ring of Honor, It's
like what like and then next thing you know is
that the first match at the Dallas Supercar Weekend is
is scheduled and it's really gonna happen, and then it happens,
and like after the match, it was like, like I
said it before, it was like a dream man. It
(11:37):
was like it wasn't even real. It's like did that
just happen?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Like? How was that? Like? It just was like the
weirdest feeling.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
And but then match two happened, which was the two
out of three falls, which happened on short notice. It
was like a week's notice. But then the same thing.
It was like a forty minute match. And I swear
to you, in twenty four years of wrestling, I've never
been so sore after match for multiple days moving forward,
and that dag on two out.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Of three falls, believe it or not, even more so
than the dog collar match. Now you really believe it. Man,
I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I don't know why, but I would, I mean maybe
just because it was, you know, forty forty five minute
match and I don't know, man, I was, I was hurt,
but yeah, and then it and then the dog collar
match just is also kind of on short notice, but
it's just like like.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
A dog collar match, just like out of nowhere, and
it's like what the heck?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
And then the dog collar match happens, and I remember
we went the match, and I never forget how how
my brother hugged me after that match.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
When you know, winter a little matching Prince Cogan. We're
all celebrating.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I turned and he gave me the biggest bear hug,
the realist hug. I know, it's just I always remember that,
just because you know, we've been tagged him in for
so long and we've been brothers for even longer. And
I don't know that hug was it was something about it, man,
But that that whole trilogy and now the relationship that
I had with those guys and just everything about that
(13:11):
was just I mean, it was unreal and it couldn't
have couldn't have gone any different, couldn't have gone any better.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
That's amazing, man, That's that's a wonderful story.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, you're you're good man, Murph.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
What are you doing, man, Big Murph?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Ladies and gentlemen, Hey, what's up man?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
What's going on? What's happening, bun?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
What's up, buddy? How you doing?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I have four kids too, so I got it. I
always always at the door beating.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
When I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'm like, guys, give you ten minutes, I promise.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Now, Murph, he was.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
My wife was pregnant with Murph for that first FTR match. Wow,
now she that was the end of May. Had to
be the end of May twenty twenty two in April.
He was in July, so we had the match in
May in April, and I'll keep in mind, we were
(14:06):
also moving into this house where we live now. We
just moved out of where we were where we were
in Delaware, literally six hundred yards into Maryland where we are.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So, I mean, it's just a crazy stressful time.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
She's pregnant, and then she had a placenter preview, which
is a condition, yes, dude, and she starts hemorrhaging and stuff.
So she spent from like April to June. She spent
the majority of that time at the hospital because she
was hemorrhaging, and he came June ninth, which was like
(14:38):
a month and n half. So I mean, it was
just a crazy stressful time. That's when this started, the
whole feud really got going. And then July, shortly after
he was born, that's when we had the two out
of three falls. But I mean, it was just I
remember that there were even some articles people had put
(14:58):
up because we had to miss a g c W
and a p G show on the same weekend. Because
on the way to the event, Britt calls me and
she's like I'm bleeding. You gout, like I don't know
what to do, and you know, I think I called
called Brett Lauderdale. I was like, man, man, the wife's pregnant.
Well she already knew that. Man, she's having some complications
(15:23):
and whatnot. And so yeah, we missed those two shows
and we actually canceled all the indie dates because it
was such a such a touchy situation of when he
was gonna like they might have had.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
An emergency c section any time, which is what they
had to do. Man. But it was a crazy, such
a crazy Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
I can't even imagine. I must have been just incredibly stressful.
I know, I know how some situations with my wife
when we had our second she was she hasn't got
a heart condition, and oh man, it was like every
day was touch and go for like the last trimester.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It was horrible. Man.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
And I'm the same thing at my job, you know,
I'm like, hey, I have to go to this appointment.
I have to go here. I got a driver because
she's not allowed to drive. And then it's like, oh
is it pre is it this? It's like, oh my god,
this is crazy. So I'm glad I feel for you.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Man.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Listen, man, I'm I I go through the same things.
But I have a couple more questions for you here.
I wanted to talk to you about challenging for the
Continental aw Continental Championship and then that you challenged Okata
for that title at all out and I wanted to
know if there was potentially another attempt for you, uh
in the works for that for that title.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Hey, that would look I think that would look real good.
That that Ray Wanner title here, that Continental title here.
That Hey, that's a that's a heck of a darn
good question because that needs to be more of a
talking point because I think that needs to happen. Man,
season is coming up as a Thanksgiving eve is that's
the start of the Continental Classic, and uh, you know,
with Kada being the current Continental champion, Uh, you.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Know, he's the he's the focal point, he's the he's
the target. You know what I mean? But yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I feel like the Continental Classic last year was in
a way in my singles career, it was almost like
a coming out party. It was like I got I
got the chance to I got a chance to wrestle
four guys in my block.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
So it's and it was just like, I don't.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Think anybody knew what I could do in singles competition,
and I didn't. I didn't really make out too well
and the wins and the losses, but I learned, so
I didn't lose. I learned either win. I'm either gonna
win or I'm gonna learn. Ain't no loser, you understand.
But yep, so yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Man,
(17:43):
I'm looking forward to hopefully being in the Continental Classic
this year. But one way or the other, I would
love to take on Okada and I would love to
have ring Honah Strapp here Continental title here.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
You know, I think that would look good on me.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I agree. I hope we see that. I hope we
see if you will indulge me for his second Markey
double belts. I'm just gonna throw it out like you
can use that if you want to, you know, I said,
put a little spice on it. I appreciate it if
it's free for.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You, sir.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Now, hey, listen, man, I'm here to help super questions
for you here. I'm gonna talk briefly about the conglomeration
under that you Orange Cassidy Kyle O'Reilly, Willow Nightingale and
Rocky Romero. Uh, it always just looks like y'all are
just having the best time together. How much fun are
y'all having together? And how much do you help each
other elevate either in you know, your respective matches or
(18:31):
just in your careers in general.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, well it's just the quickest, slightest correction, big time.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yes, who is who is?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
We we we we're we're awaiting his return, but we
understand that he's got to be in the land of
the rise is soun, which is where he lays his
head to sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
But when he you know, he's all. He will always
be a conglomerator. He will always be part of the crew.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
And Baby j Briscoe has also been officially inducted into
the conglomeration. But uh, now it's it's really cool, man,
because it was the most spontaneous thing ever and we
had no idea going into the match. It was I
want to say it was Roger Strong, Kyle Fletcher and Ruche.
(19:17):
I think it was against Mark Briscow, Kyle or Kyle
O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy. Just a random all star shix
man tag we worked in a conglomeration at this point,
we had never even teamed up before. But you know,
they wanted to put the camera on us, and Willow
was with us chilling, and uh, they put the camera
(19:39):
on us before the match, and they say, can all
say a few words, and so we got to say
in a few words and we just ended up I
think the word of the day that they just so
happened to be conglomeration. You're looking at this conglomeration of
individuals that you know, the stars have a line and
now we're all teaming up. And then it just went
(19:59):
from there. People really they dug it and people, uh,
some people thought it was funny. Some people got all
hyped up about it. But the next week they wanted it.
They wanted some more. They want us some more conglomeration.
So time just could continued to flow as it does,
and we all just kind of came together.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And it's kind of weird looking at.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
How we didn't plan it, but it was like we
all were looking for each other even though we didn't
know it, because you know, I just I was part
of the Briscoe Brothers, you know what I mean, Orange
Cassidy part of the best friends, you know, kyle'illy part
of part of.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
The Undisputed Kingdom per se, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
And and then Willow was kind of with the best
friends like we all were. We were all for one
reason or another, we were all disassociated with our previous groups,
and then we all just found each other like naturally,
spontaneously organically, and now we're like the island in Misfit Toys,
(21:00):
you know what I mean. It's like, you know, as
long as you ain't the shit here, and as long
as you down to conglomerate, hey, you you are more
than welcome to conglomerate, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
So it's just a really cool it just feel really good.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I remember Kyle said said one time he was he said, Man,
these conglomeration tag match this, that's the feel good jam
in the summer.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I said, yeah, man, what it is? That's right.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It reminded me a lot of if if you uh
says a throwback reference. It reminded me a lot of
the Gangstenators New Jack and Cronus from the ECW days.
You look at everybody together like, how is this gonna work?
And then you see them together You're like, oh wait, Yeah,
this works really well, Like not only doesn't work, but
it clicks that it works really well. So I'm really
really enjoying what you guys are doing. My last question
for you market again, I appreciate your time, sir, and
(21:44):
I appreciate you being here. What do you think the
brisco legacy will be when you're ready to retire, you're
ready to step away from the game, what do you
think that brisco legacy is gonna be?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, I like to think that, uh, I like to
think of this current.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I like to think of this current phase of my
career as like my career two point zero is. I
feel like from the year from May twenty two thousand
up until you know what I mean January seventeenth, twenty
twenty twenty three. The Briscoe Brothers, I mean, we started
as a fifteen to sixteen year old brother tag team
(22:24):
in Wilmington, Delaware. Who everybody thought, I remember, they said,
you remember Kurgan, Yeah, said we looked like anorex at
Kirgan's out there. But I mean it was just like
like we started all the way started all the way
at the bottom, and I mean we like I ain't
(22:46):
trying to trying to not trying to toot my.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Own horn or toot our own horn.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
But you know, we started at the bottom, and we grinded, man,
we grinded. We didn't have any we didn't have any
multi millionaire corporations back in US. We made our names
and and then now here we are, all these years later.
It's like everybody who knows about wrestling in the in
(23:13):
the hearing in the two thousands, who really knows what
they're talking about, knows that the Briscoe Brothers could get
down with anybody in any type of match. If we're
talking we're talking athletic uh spot beasts, we're talking hardcore
death match.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Bleeding ladder match, whatever it may be. We could.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
We could do it all, man, we could do There
was no style that that was.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Out of our range.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
We had, in my opinion, and like I said, trying
to say this with as much humility as I can,
have more range than any tagging in the history of
professional wrestling, from from being able to put on technical
tagging masterpieces, if you will, to bloody violent wars. I
(24:02):
feel like we was able to cover cover those bases
better than anybody else could.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
And uh like I just it's.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's crazy how we never as a unit, never Ah,
you know, we never made it mainstream because of different
circumstances and in different situations. But really, when Tony bought
Ring of Honor, that was the closest that we ever
(24:32):
were to that national spot, like that national stage, and
we had we were we were blessed to have three
matches right on the cusp of the national stage and
those were the three FTR matches, and look how they
turned out. And I'm just like, you know, I'm just
(24:53):
just guessing here, but I think that if we had
as a unit been on a national stage for an
extended period of time, then I think that.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
There would have been a lot of.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
A lot of matches and a lot of things that
happened that people would have enjoyed very much, much like
the FTR thing. But now that it's uh, now that
I'm you know, doing the doing the singles thing, you know,
I'm I'm flying so low, but I'm not because i
always got Jay right here with me, and it's almost
like I'm incorporating more and more of his style. I
(25:30):
feel like, just naturally, it's like more of that's coming out,
more the intensity, more of that just Jay Briscoe just
killer instinct. But now it's just like I want, now
that I do have this stage, just national stage, I
want people I want to do to put in it
in a nutshell. I want to do good enough, and
I want people to say, man, I enjoyed this guy
(25:52):
so much that they go back and look up the
Briscoe brother stuff. Because I as good as as as
I'm might ever be. I don't ever think that i'd
be as good as Jay Briscoe was. I think Jay
Riscow was the most believable, credible professional wrestler maybe ever.
I mean, there's guys that you could put on that level,
(26:13):
but for somebody that he really makes me think this
is real and he's really trying to hurt the other
dude if he's really there's nothing that's play about this.
There's nothing that's there's nothing that's not legit about this
when you look at Jay Briscoe, and that's just something.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That I you know, I can try my best, and
you know sometimes I can.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I can do it with a good deal of success,
but I can never do it on the level that
he could. Now he can't make he ain't as entertaining
as me he can't make people. You know, that's what
That's what my dad used to tell us. He'd be like, man, shit, Jay,
he's the baddest man in professional wrestler, and he's like checking,
(26:56):
you might be the most entertaining man in professional wrestling,
but Jay, And so yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Just wanted to do I just wanted to do my
thing now so.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
That people will look back and do their research and
see how good the Brisco Brothers were.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm not doing this for myself. I'm doing this for
the team, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (27:13):
And I would really you know, when they're whatever, there's
Hall of Fames and there's different whatever, like I don't know, man,
I just I feel like the Brisco Brothers, the tag
team up, the Brisco Brothers, I feel like is could
hold their own with anybody from any era of professional wrestling.
(27:34):
And that's just my own humble opinion. I don't mean
to sound like a pompous dickhead, but I think at all.
I think not at all.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, you know what I would, I honestly, i'd have
to agree with that. Just like I never missed a
Brisco Brothers match, I have not missed a Mark Brisco match.
So you are well on your way, Sir. I appreciate
all of the work that you're putting in and I'm
looking forward to watching you kick Chris Jericho's ass this Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
This is Barbarsto and you're listening to Foundation Radio.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Peace World and welcome back to Foundation Radio. My name
is Adam Bernard. Thank you so much for joining me
again today. My guest is the current Ring of Honor Champion.
He is a thirteen time Ring of Honor Tag Team
champion and a member of the conglomeration Mark Briscoe. Thank
you so much for your time, sir.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
How are you good? What's up Adam? How you doing? Man?
Oh Man?
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Living the dream here? It's always a sunny day here
in Philadelphia. Glad for your time. I appreciate you stopping
by and chatting with me. First, I wanted to jump
into real fast the Ring of Honor Championship. I know
this is your first Ring of Honor Ring of Honor
Singles title. What was that moment like winning the title
for you? You know you're the second brisco to hold
that title. What did that moment mean for you?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Man?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It was uh, you know, I think sometimes people throw
good excuse me, throw around the word you know, special
like special moments. Oh, that was so special like that.
This was a legit special moment. You know, it was
a legit like It's just how everything lined up, you know,
eleven years to the day of when my brother won
(02:37):
the title in the city of Philadelphia where Ring of
Honor started just uh, you know what I mean, the
biggest wrestling weekend of the year, and you know that
to be so close to home. So I got dozens
of friends and family that just drove two hours up
the road, and it was a it was a really cool,
really cool it was a once in a lifetime moment,
(02:59):
and it's something that I'll always always cherished, you.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Know, yeah, absolutely, And I know that I read recently
too that Eddie Kingston specifically asked for you as his opponent.
What does that mean for you overall? For him to
be like, yeah, I want Mark Briscoe to be the guy.
I want him basically anointing you as the next guy.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
What did that mean to you?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I mean, we've been knowing Kingston for years and years now,
and he came up in Philly too. You know, he's
a New York guy, but he really made his mark
in my opinion, Chakara was his kind of his.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Kind of where he cut his teeth, which is a
Philadelphia promotion.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
So just knowing Eddie for so long, in being real
close with Eddie for so long is just like I
wouldn't expect nothing else from Eddie, but it's still when
it happened, just like wow, Like it just confirms, like, man,
it's a cool ass dude.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Man, Like it's my boy here.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
But it's just really he's actually the one who realized
and who noticed that it was eleven years to the
day of when when.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
My brother won it. He brought that to my attention.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I was like, no, no way, exactly the same day,
and I mean it's the same the same. So it's
the same the same weekend because Jay won it in
New York on Super Card weekend and then eleven years
to the day I went it in Philly and it
was just yeah, man, Like I said, I ain't got
(04:31):
enough good things to say about Eddie and I won't
expect nothing less from him.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
He just a real He the last of a dying breed,
as he says, he certainly is.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
And it's it's really cool, like I said, knowing that
context and having that information, it's a it's cool that
that that he was able to make that happen for you.
I read also today during the prep for this conversation,
that Chris Jericho has officially challenged you for a rematch
for the Ring of Honor title on Dynamite this Wednesday
coming up. How confident are you in defeating christ Jericho
(05:02):
again for a second time? And what are you planning
to do in this rematch coming out?
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Well, see Jericho, he just don't know when to shut up, man.
He don't know when to He don't know when to
quit running in his mouth. And I know he's made
a career of recreating himself and reinventing himself and all
these different personas and all these different characters. Well, his
new character's gonna be the guy that gets his ass
well by Mark Briskow on a damn near weekly or
(05:27):
bi weekly basis, because he just don't know when to
shut up man, And he and he's real slick with it,
what they call it passive aggressive. He'll say something like
I'm gonna be a two time Rio Banna champion, just
like Jay Briscoe. Like, yeah, okay, if you should so
happen to win, then okay, I get it. You will
be a two time Ringobana champion, just like Jay Briscoe.
(05:49):
But the shittiness that it just comes forth, it just
comes from a shitty place, and it's like, man, you
really you you barking up the wrong tree man? You
really you? You playing with fire and like to me,
it's not even about the title on Wednesday, because I done,
I learned, I done. I think I proved my point
in one on one wrestling match at wrestled Dream. Even
(06:13):
when his boys try to get involved. You know, I
had my backup, but I beat him pending one, two
three in the middle of the ring. But now he
just wants to keep under his mouth. I think he's
just trying his best to stay relevant. But I'm the
wrong one. I'm the wrong one.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You understand what I'm saying. I'm the wrong one.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I'm not the one that you want to do that
with because I'll put you out of the game.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I will. This will be your swan song man, this
will be it for you. You won't.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
You might not be able to get up and walk
for a couple of days. Like I'm the wrong one man,
Like I'm a I'm a violent individual. Me and my
brother we came into this game with with with just blinders,
where it's just violence is just all that we all that,
all that we want to do, all that, all that
(06:57):
we're good at, is just hurting people. It's not doing
fancy flips and acrobatics. It's just hurting people. And just
the intensity is just going, going in, going hard. And
so Chris Jericho, that made a big mistake, man, And
I mean, this might very well be it for him.
This might be the end of his long, luxurious career
just because he don't know when to shut his mouth.
(07:17):
But I got nothing but confidence. I got nothing. I
almost feel like I just got to be able to
not get too out of control with my emotions because
the way that I want to but what I want
to do to him and how I want to hurt
him just because he don't know you don't know when
to shut up. I'm telling you, man, it's definitely going
to be one day nobody wants to miss this Wednesday
(07:39):
night on Dynamite.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I was just gonna say it's gonna be this Wednesday
aw Dynamite, eight pm, Eastern Star. Check your local listings
to make sure you check it out. Listen. I remember
the dull collar match with FTR. I know how violent
you guys can get, and I can't imagine what's in
store for Chris Jericho coming up on Wednesday. But speaking
of the FTR trilogy, It's one of my favorite sets
of matches I think I've ever watched. And knowing that
(08:04):
and also the impact that it had on tag team
wrestling in general, what did those matches mean to you?
And specifically the dog collar match had happened at the
end of twenty twenty two, What did those what did
that match mean to you?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
And the the trilogy with FTR is something that I
don't think it never is going to stand on his
own for eternity, man for it's like there will will
never be anything else like it.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
It was like me and Jay were we were thankful
to be.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
With Ring of Honor in the twenty tens because they
really took us as family men, as fathers and husbands.
We really got financially secure working for a Ring of
Honor with Sinclair Broadcast and owned the company, and it
was just it was it was such a necessary season
(09:01):
and such a necessary step in our lives just as
family men, because we needed to get a little bit
of financial footing, if you know what I mean. But
at the same time we were we were it's almost
like we were caged in. We were locked in because
we were exclusive Ring of Honor and we couldn't really
dabble here and there. We got to do some New
(09:23):
Japan stuff because Ring of Honor was working with New
Japan with a with a working agreement or whatever. But
then then somehow we snuck out and we went through
the Hardy Boys down in Omega, which was I don't
know how we pulled that off.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I think there was a little bit of.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Strategic wording of when we kind of brought it up
to the brass at Sinclair, But either way, it was
like that basically that whole decade, we're locked down as
far as where we can go and who we can wrestle.
And then the minute that it becomes a thing where
(10:01):
the case door is open again we can go here there,
and we can go elsewhere, then it's like, man, one
of the first things that started to materialize, it is
like the universe just started to materialize. It was that
FTR Dax called out Briscoes on his Twitter page, and
from there it just is like one thing after another
(10:25):
after another.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It's still like, oh, this is never gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
This is still so far out of the realm of possibility.
It's a dream match, yes, but sure it ain't never,
it's not never really gonna happen. And then it's the
Briscoes versus the Kingdom at Final Battle back in twenty
one two that twenty one and you know, we tore
the house now with them boys, like we normally do.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
But it was kind of like we all thought that
there was.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Ring of Honors farewell, but then the lights go out
after the match, the lights come back on and there's
Dax and Cash and it's like, what the hell, you know,
I've never even like I didn't even know, like there
they are. It's like, what the well, you know, what's
going on here?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Who's who's pulling the strings? Who made this happen?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
But and then it's like from there it's still like,
you know, it's still not it's like what this.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Match ever happened? Probably not?
Speaker 4 (11:17):
But then it's like toty kampy ring of Honor, It's
like what like and then next thing you know is
that the first match at the Dallas Supercar Weekend is
is scheduled and it's really gonna happen, and then it happens,
and like after the match, it was like, like I
said it before, it was like a dream man. It
(11:37):
was like it wasn't even real. It's like did that
just happen?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Like? How was that? Like? It just was like the
weirdest feeling.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
And but then match two happened, which was the two
out of three falls, which happened on short notice. It
was like a week's notice. But then the same thing.
It was like a forty minute match. And I swear
to you, in twenty four years of wrestling, I've never
been so sore after match for multiple days moving forward,
and that dag on two out.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Of three falls, believe it or not, even more so
than the dog collar match. Now you really believe it. Man,
I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
I don't know why, but I would, I mean maybe
just because it was, you know, forty forty five minute
match and I don't know, man, I was, I was hurt,
but yeah, and then it and then the dog collar
match just is also kind of on short notice, but
it's just like like.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
A dog collar match, just like out of nowhere, and
it's like what the heck?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
And then the dog collar match happens, and I remember
we went the match, and I never forget how how
my brother hugged me after that match.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
When you know, winter a little matching Prince Cogan. We're
all celebrating.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I turned and he gave me the biggest bear hug,
the realist hug. I know, it's just I always remember that,
just because you know, we've been tagged him in for
so long and we've been brothers for even longer. And
I don't know that hug was it was something about it, man,
But that that whole trilogy and now the relationship that
I had with those guys and just everything about that
(13:11):
was just I mean, it was unreal and it couldn't
have couldn't have gone any different, couldn't have gone any better.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
That's amazing, man, That's that's a wonderful story.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, you're you're good man, Murph.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
What are you doing, man, Big Murph?
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Ladies and gentlemen, Hey, what's up man?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
What's going on? What's happening, bun?
Speaker 2 (13:33):
What's up, buddy? How you doing?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I have four kids too, so I got it. I
always always at the door beating.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
When I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I'm like, guys, give you ten minutes, I promise.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Now, Murph, he was.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
My wife was pregnant with Murph for that first FTR match. Wow,
now she that was the end of May. Had to
be the end of May twenty twenty two in April.
He was in July, so we had the match in
May in April, and I'll keep in mind, we were
(14:06):
also moving into this house where we live now. We
just moved out of where we were where we were
in Delaware, literally six hundred yards into Maryland where we are.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So, I mean, it's just a crazy stressful time.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
She's pregnant, and then she had a placenter preview, which
is a condition, yes, dude, and she starts hemorrhaging and stuff.
So she spent from like April to June. She spent
the majority of that time at the hospital because she
was hemorrhaging, and he came June ninth, which was like
(14:38):
a month and n half. So I mean, it was
just a crazy stressful time. That's when this started, the
whole feud really got going. And then July, shortly after
he was born, that's when we had the two out
of three falls. But I mean, it was just I
remember that there were even some articles people had put
(14:58):
up because we had to miss a g c W
and a p G show on the same weekend. Because
on the way to the event, Britt calls me and
she's like I'm bleeding. You gout, like I don't know
what to do, and you know, I think I called
called Brett Lauderdale. I was like, man, man, the wife's pregnant.
Well she already knew that. Man, she's having some complications
(15:23):
and whatnot. And so yeah, we missed those two shows
and we actually canceled all the indie dates because it
was such a such a touchy situation of when he
was gonna like they might have had.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
An emergency c section any time, which is what they
had to do. Man. But it was a crazy, such
a crazy Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
I can't even imagine. I must have been just incredibly stressful.
I know, I know how some situations with my wife
when we had our second she was she hasn't got
a heart condition, and oh man, it was like every
day was touch and go for like the last trimester.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
It was horrible. Man.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
And I'm the same thing at my job, you know,
I'm like, hey, I have to go to this appointment.
I have to go here. I got a driver because
she's not allowed to drive. And then it's like, oh
is it pre is it this? It's like, oh my god,
this is crazy. So I'm glad I feel for you.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Man.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Listen, man, I'm I I go through the same things.
But I have a couple more questions for you here.
I wanted to talk to you about challenging for the
Continental aw Continental Championship and then that you challenged Okata
for that title at all out and I wanted to
know if there was potentially another attempt for you, uh
in the works for that for that title.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Hey, that would look I think that would look real good.
That that Ray Wanner title here, that Continental title here.
That Hey, that's a that's a heck of a darn
good question because that needs to be more of a
talking point because I think that needs to happen. Man,
season is coming up as a Thanksgiving eve is that's
the start of the Continental Classic, and uh, you know,
with Kada being the current Continental champion, Uh, you.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Know, he's the he's the focal point, he's the he's
the target. You know what I mean? But yeah, I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I feel like the Continental Classic last year was in
a way in my singles career, it was almost like
a coming out party. It was like I got I
got the chance to I got a chance to wrestle
four guys in my block.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
So it's and it was just like, I don't.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Think anybody knew what I could do in singles competition,
and I didn't. I didn't really make out too well
and the wins and the losses, but I learned, so
I didn't lose. I learned either win. I'm either gonna
win or I'm gonna learn. Ain't no loser, you understand.
But yep, so yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Man,
(17:43):
I'm looking forward to hopefully being in the Continental Classic
this year. But one way or the other, I would
love to take on Okada and I would love to
have ring Honah Strapp here Continental title here.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
You know, I think that would look good on me.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I agree. I hope we see that. I hope we
see if you will indulge me for his second Markey
double belts. I'm just gonna throw it out like you
can use that if you want to, you know, I said,
put a little spice on it. I appreciate it if
it's free for.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
You, sir.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Now, hey, listen, man, I'm here to help super questions
for you here. I'm gonna talk briefly about the conglomeration
under that you Orange Cassidy Kyle O'Reilly, Willow Nightingale and
Rocky Romero. Uh, it always just looks like y'all are
just having the best time together. How much fun are
y'all having together? And how much do you help each
other elevate either in you know, your respective matches or
(18:31):
just in your careers in general.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, well it's just the quickest, slightest correction, big time.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yes, who is who is?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
We we we we're we're awaiting his return, but we
understand that he's got to be in the land of
the rise is soun, which is where he lays his
head to sleep at night.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
But when he you know, he's all. He will always
be a conglomerator. He will always be part of the crew.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
And Baby j Briscoe has also been officially inducted into
the conglomeration. But uh, now it's it's really cool, man,
because it was the most spontaneous thing ever and we
had no idea going into the match. It was I
want to say it was Roger Strong, Kyle Fletcher and Ruche.
(19:17):
I think it was against Mark Briscow, Kyle or Kyle
O'Reilly and Orange Cassidy. Just a random all star shix
man tag we worked in a conglomeration at this point,
we had never even teamed up before. But you know,
they wanted to put the camera on us, and Willow
was with us chilling, and uh, they put the camera
(19:39):
on us before the match, and they say, can all
say a few words, and so we got to say
in a few words and we just ended up I
think the word of the day that they just so
happened to be conglomeration. You're looking at this conglomeration of
individuals that you know, the stars have a line and
now we're all teaming up. And then it just went
(19:59):
from there. People really they dug it and people, uh,
some people thought it was funny. Some people got all
hyped up about it. But the next week they wanted it.
They wanted some more. They want us some more conglomeration.
So time just could continued to flow as it does,
and we all just kind of came together.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And it's kind of weird looking at.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
How we didn't plan it, but it was like we
all were looking for each other even though we didn't
know it, because you know, I just I was part
of the Briscoe Brothers, you know what I mean, Orange
Cassidy part of the best friends, you know, kyle'illy part
of part of.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
The Undisputed Kingdom per se, you know.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
And and then Willow was kind of with the best
friends like we all were. We were all for one
reason or another, we were all disassociated with our previous groups,
and then we all just found each other like naturally,
spontaneously organically, and now we're like the island in Misfit Toys,
(21:00):
you know what I mean. It's like, you know, as
long as you ain't the shit here, and as long
as you down to conglomerate, hey, you you are more
than welcome to conglomerate, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
So it's just a really cool it just feel really good.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I remember Kyle said said one time he was he said, Man,
these conglomeration tag match this, that's the feel good jam
in the summer.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I said, yeah, man, what it is? That's right.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
It reminded me a lot of if if you uh
says a throwback reference. It reminded me a lot of
the Gangstenators New Jack and Cronus from the ECW days.
You look at everybody together like, how is this gonna work?
And then you see them together You're like, oh wait, Yeah,
this works really well, Like not only doesn't work, but
it clicks that it works really well. So I'm really
really enjoying what you guys are doing. My last question
for you market again, I appreciate your time, sir, and
(21:44):
I appreciate you being here. What do you think the
brisco legacy will be when you're ready to retire, you're
ready to step away from the game, what do you
think that brisco legacy is gonna be?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Well, I like to think that, uh, I like to
think of this current.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I like to think of this current phase of my
career as like my career two point zero is. I
feel like from the year from May twenty two thousand
up until you know what I mean January seventeenth, twenty
twenty twenty three. The Briscoe Brothers, I mean, we started
as a fifteen to sixteen year old brother tag team
(22:24):
in Wilmington, Delaware. Who everybody thought, I remember, they said,
you remember Kurgan, Yeah, said we looked like anorex at
Kirgan's out there. But I mean it was just like
like we started all the way started all the way
at the bottom, and I mean we like I ain't
(22:46):
trying to trying to not trying to toot my.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Own horn or toot our own horn.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
But you know, we started at the bottom, and we grinded, man,
we grinded. We didn't have any we didn't have any
multi millionaire corporations back in US. We made our names
and and then now here we are, all these years later.
It's like everybody who knows about wrestling in the in
(23:13):
the hearing in the two thousands, who really knows what
they're talking about, knows that the Briscoe Brothers could get
down with anybody in any type of match. If we're
talking we're talking athletic uh spot beasts, we're talking hardcore
death match.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Bleeding ladder match, whatever it may be. We could.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
We could do it all, man, we could do There
was no style that that was.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Out of our range.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
We had, in my opinion, and like I said, trying
to say this with as much humility as I can,
have more range than any tagging in the history of
professional wrestling, from from being able to put on technical
tagging masterpieces, if you will, to bloody violent wars. I
(24:02):
feel like we was able to cover cover those bases
better than anybody else could.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
And uh like I just it's.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's crazy how we never as a unit, never Ah,
you know, we never made it mainstream because of different
circumstances and in different situations. But really, when Tony bought
Ring of Honor, that was the closest that we ever
(24:32):
were to that national spot, like that national stage, and
we had we were we were blessed to have three
matches right on the cusp of the national stage and
those were the three FTR matches, and look how they
turned out. And I'm just like, you know, I'm just
(24:53):
just guessing here, but I think that if we had
as a unit been on a national stage for an
extended period of time, then I think that.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
There would have been a lot of.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
A lot of matches and a lot of things that
happened that people would have enjoyed very much, much like
the FTR thing. But now that it's uh, now that
I'm you know, doing the doing the singles thing, you know,
I'm I'm flying so low, but I'm not because i
always got Jay right here with me, and it's almost
like I'm incorporating more and more of his style. I
(25:30):
feel like, just naturally, it's like more of that's coming out,
more the intensity, more of that just Jay Briscoe just
killer instinct. But now it's just like I want, now
that I do have this stage, just national stage, I
want people I want to do to put in it
in a nutshell. I want to do good enough, and
I want people to say, man, I enjoyed this guy
(25:52):
so much that they go back and look up the
Briscoe brother stuff. Because I as good as as as
I'm might ever be. I don't ever think that i'd
be as good as Jay Briscoe was. I think Jay
Riscow was the most believable, credible professional wrestler maybe ever.
I mean, there's guys that you could put on that level,
(26:13):
but for somebody that he really makes me think this
is real and he's really trying to hurt the other
dude if he's really there's nothing that's play about this.
There's nothing that's there's nothing that's not legit about this
when you look at Jay Briscoe, and that's just something.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
That I you know, I can try my best, and
you know sometimes I can.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I can do it with a good deal of success,
but I can never do it on the level that
he could. Now he can't make he ain't as entertaining
as me he can't make people. You know, that's what
That's what my dad used to tell us. He'd be like, man, shit, Jay,
he's the baddest man in professional wrestler, and he's like checking,
(26:56):
you might be the most entertaining man in professional wrestling,
but Jay, And so yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Just wanted to do I just wanted to do my
thing now so.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
That people will look back and do their research and
see how good the Brisco Brothers were.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I'm not doing this for myself. I'm doing this for
the team, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (27:13):
And I would really you know, when they're whatever, there's
Hall of Fames and there's different whatever, like I don't know, man,
I just I feel like the Brisco Brothers, the tag
team up, the Brisco Brothers, I feel like is could
hold their own with anybody from any era of professional wrestling.
(27:34):
And that's just my own humble opinion. I don't mean
to sound like a pompous dickhead, but I think at all.
I think not at all.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, you know what I would, I honestly, i'd have
to agree with that. Just like I never missed a
Brisco Brothers match, I have not missed a Mark Brisco match.
So you are well on your way, Sir. I appreciate
all of the work that you're putting in and I'm
looking forward to watching you kick Chris Jericho's ass this Wednesday.
AEW Dynamic Mark brisco will be defending the Ring of
(28:01):
Honor Championship against Christ Jericho this Wednesday, eight pm on TBS.
Check your local listings and make sure you get that
Mark Briscoe. I want to thank you so much for
your time, sir. I really appreciate it and I'm looking
forward to talking to you again and you to man.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Thank you, brother. It doesn't work for me, brother, Please
(28:37):
