Jeff Jarrett highlights the emotional impact of Mark Briscoe's world title win.
At ROH Supercard of Honor, Mark Briscoe defeated Eddie Kingston to win the ROH World Championship, 11 years to the day after his late brother, Jay Briscoe, captured the title.
Speaking on his My World podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett shared his thoughts on Mark Briscoe's title win.
“I’m gonna go back to something that we often mention on this show that I have said. I think at the very core of everybody that puts on boots, it is something that we are emotionally attached to the industry. It’s that simple. You can get in this business, you can say I want to be the world champion or I want to make a lot of money or famous, whatever it may be. But there’s an emotional attachment to it. Look, I can’t relate on this deep a level. Mark winning the world title and his brother won it 11 years ago, so to have a big brother, if you will, in this business, that they teamed, the success they had, but to have this opportunity, the emotional bandwidth that, in a lot of ways, he carried with his match, and I watched it Friday night, that he carried with him, is just powerful. How can you not hear about or watch that story, and not just have a real feel-good moment? So the Ring of Honor brand had an equally, as a feel-good moment to me, as the WWE brand. It is something that, it is a story that you could not script because in the Briscoes’ set of circumstances, what extreme tragedy. But in so many ways, the tragedy of losing his big brother is in essence the platform that made this night so special. For himself, for his parents. Seeing his dad in the ring, his emotional that was. His family, his brother’s family. On the weekend that everything that kind of goes with it, me seeing Jay Lethal, it is..I’m going back to the emotional attachment that we as talent truly have. It’s obviously a night that many, many folks will never forget. It was special," Jarrett said.
