The Briscoes

The Briscoes (also known as The Brisco Brothers) are the professional wrestling tag team consisting of brothers Jay Briscoe (Jamin "Jay" Pugh) and Mark Briscoe (Mark Pugh). They are best known for their 19-year tenure with the American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH).

The duo were featured on ROH's first-ever event on February 23, 2002, and other than an 18-month hatus from August 2004 to February 2006, the brothers had been focal points of the company throughout its history, feuding with some of their biggest stars. The Briscoes are 13-time World Tag Team Champions overall with their record twelve ROH World Tag Team Championships and one IWGP Tag Team Championship in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). They have also held Pro Wrestling Noah's GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship once, the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship once with Bully Ray and NJPW's NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship twice with Toru Yano. They have also won numerous tag team titles on the independent circuit. On January 31, 2022, they were apart of the inaugural class of inductees into the ROH Hall of Fame.

As singles competitors, Jay is a two-time ROH World Champion, while Mark won the 2013 Honor Rumble.
