Mark Briscoe: The Machine Behind ROH Has More Horsepower Than Ever
Mark Briscoe is enjoying the new Ring of Honor.
At the end of 2021, ROH announced that it was going on hiatus following ROH Final Battle, with plans to return with ROH Supercard in 2022. The plans came to fruition, but not how many expected, as Tony Khan announced he had purchased ROH, kicking off a new era for the promotion.
Mark Briscoe has been part of ROH from the very beginning and remains one of the top stars in the promotion. He’s seen it all with ROH, and he believes the promotion is in its best era.
“Ring of Honor is one of the most resilient entities on the planet,” he said in an interview with MuscleManMalcolm. “Started out in 2002 in the Murphy Rec Center in Philadelphia, and that was the original iteration of Ring of Honor. From there, Sinclair broadcasting ended up buying it, and that was the previous iteration. Now, we’re in the Tony Khan era. This is the most exciting era yet because of the potential we have, with the eyes on the product. The machine behind Ring of Honor. We have a hell of a machine behind Ring of Honor. The machine behind Ring of Honor right now has more horsepower than any machine that’s ever been behind Ring of Honor. The current iteration, the current Tony Khan regime, is nothing but [thumbs up].”
Mark and his late brother Jay Briscoe are the most decorated tag team in ROH history. Mark is now embarking on a singles career and challenged Samoa Joe for the ROH Television Title at ROH Supercard of Honor 2023, but came up short in his quest for gold.
Mark will be the special referee for the AEW Tag Team Title bout between FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) against Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett at AEW Double or Nothing.
