Mark Briscoe: I’ll never have anything I cherish like The Briscoe Brothers

Mark Briscoe recently appeared on Wrestling Observer Radio, where he spoke about the legacy of The Briscoe Brothers.

During his discussion with Dave Meltzer and Garrett Gonzales, Briscoe said that he wants to perform at a high level so fans will seek out his past matches with his brother Jay.

“I never will in my life have anything that I cherish like our tag team career together, me and Jay as The Briscoe Brothers. I could have, whatever, a thousand five star matches and win all the awards. Nothing I could do at this point can scratch the surface of the legacy of the Briscoe Brothers.”

“Part of my mission at this point is to perform at a level where people enjoy what I’m doing and what I’m presenting, and they’ll search out some old Briscoe Brothers stuff because that was the gold.”

Briscoe also discussed the documentary Two in One: The Briscoe Story about him and his brother, and how it addresses the inspiring rehabilitation stories of Jay’s daughters.

“They’re my heroes from now on,” Mark said of Jayleigh and Gracie Pugh. “From now until I head to the grave myself, those two are my heroes.”

“Some people will tell me, ‘Good job, Mark, you’re carrying on for The Briscoes’ and whatever. They are carrying on (for The Briscoes).”

He spoke about how, when doctors told the family that Gracie would never walk again, he was confident they were underestimating her because, of anyone in the family, she is the most like Jay.

“When they passed that news along to all of us, I thought to myself, y’all don’t know Gracie Pugh. Like, y’all do not know Gracie Pugh cause she is Jamin Pugh, aka little Jay Briscoe. That’s just her personality.”

Briscoe added that Gracie is now “back doing back handsprings and tumbling.”
