One of the greatest tag teams of all time is set to be inducted into the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Game Changer Wrestling has announced that The Briscoes (Jay & Mark Briscoe) will be inducted into the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame over WrestleMania weekend this April. Mark Briscoe will be in attendance at the ceremony to accept the honor on behalf of himself and his late brother.
Jay & Mark started their careers as teenagers on the indies in Delaware. They'd go on to become one of the most decorated tag teams ever, including 13 reigns with the ROH Tag Team titles. The Briscoes were the first act ever inducted into the ROH Hall of Fame in 2022.
Jay Briscoe (Jamin Pugh) passed away in a car accident in January 2023. He was 38 years old. On the one year anniversary of his death, the Briscoe family honored Jay on AEW Dynamite last month.
Mark Briscoe (Mark Pugh) is signed to AEW and competes for both AEW and ROH.
Created by GCW and Orange Crush magazine, the Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame was first established in 2022. This year's ceremony is taking place from the Sheraton hotel in downtown Philadelphia on Sunday, April 7. The ceremony will stream live on YouTube for free starting at noon Eastern time.
The late Trent Acid (Michael Verdi) has also been confirmed for this year's Indie Wrestling Hall of Fame class. Acid is being inducted by his former Backseat Boyz tag team partner Johnny Kashmere.
