[Matt D]

Placing this here now so people know. Just shocking.

Very sad... saw them wrestle a bunch over the years.  They were always a great team and had some awesome promos. Gone too soon. 

[RIPPA]

For those that haven't seen - cause of death was car accident

[Valcourt]

Wow. This sucks big time.  So sorry for his family. His brother is probably devastated.  

[John from Cincinnati]

Another person also died in the accident. Just horrible.

[Eivion]

Haven't watched much of the Briscoes, but I tend to enjoy their matches whenever I catch them. Always a shame to see someone pass so young. I feel sorry for his family.

[BrianS81177]

Damn. With all the crap he was getting about his old tweets (despite being a totally different person now) I was really rooting for him. His poor brother.

[DreamBroken]

fuck.  horrible. Unbelievable. Was so looking forward to what'd be next after the legendary FTR series. Right before their birthdays coming up too.  RIP Jay

[AxB]

He was only 38 years old, too. Way too young. His 39th Birthday is next week.

[HumanChessgame]

Such a terrible loss. I remember watching CZW's first Best of the Best tournament and seeing two gawky looking teenagers have an incredible match out of nowhere with eachother. He and Mark were one of the best tag teams of their generation.

[Craig H]

No no no…what the fuck!? I’m fucking crushed. Absolutely crushed. And numb. RIP. Dude ate, breathed, and slept pro wrestling. An icon.

[The Great ML]

Going to watch their barnyard brawl from a few years back. RIP.

[WholeFnMachine]

Horrific, 1/2 of one of the greatest tag teams I have ever seen, too young. This was a gut punch.

[jaedmc]

Thought it was a weird joke when I read it. Just can't wrap around it right now.

[Phantom Lord]

I'm in shock. I loved his promo's with Mark from the chicken farm.

The Briscoes (and the SAT) got me interested in CZW.  Not the blood.  the interest in CZW got me interested in indie wrestling.   So their impact is felt to this day.  such a sad day for all wrestling 

[DEAN]

He was great.  What a devastating loss.

[porksweats]

Well that's fucked up. May he rest in peace.

[S.K.o.S.]

Figured he was gonna be a part of wrestling for absolutely as long as he could, like 20, 25, 30 more years. RIP. Glad he was happy today and went out on top.

[LoneWolf&Subs]

RIP is all I say before I know the full details.

Okay I’ll add probably one of the best tag team acts these past two decades in professional wrestling.  When teams were dropping like flies, they stuck around consistently.

I was just watching 2001 JAPW last night - Briscoes/Red/Quack were ahead of their time

[Craig H]

Fuck everything. Sounds like his kids may be in critical condition too.

yeah Meltzer reported he died in Laurel, Maryland which is 2 hours from his home in Salisbury - but Laurel, Delaware is like 15 minutes from Salisbury and would make more sense

Dave issued a correction. It was in Delaware.

very classy move by NXT acknowledging the death of Jay given they have never had a connection with the WWE .
