Mark Briscoe Views FTR Trilogy As The Swan Song For The Briscoes, ‘It Honestly Felt Like A Dream’
Mark Briscoe discusses the FTR/Briscoes trilogy.
In April 2022, FTR and The Briscoes started a generational feud at the Supercard Of Honor pay-per-view, as they faced each other in a near 30 minute war that elated fans across the world.
Later that year in July, the two teams locked up again at the Death Before Dishonor show in a two-out-of-three falls match.
In December, the trilogy was capped off with a double dog collar match at the Final Battle pay-per-view. The Briscoes were able to score the first win of the series in this match.
In a new interview with Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, Mark Briscoe looked back on the matches, saying it was kind of like a swan song for the Briscoe brothers.
“When we got done with that match, me and Jay, there was a sense of awe, shock, and amazement. We both agreed, he was like, ‘Chicken, that felt like a dream. That didn’t even feel real.’ I was like, ‘You took the words out of my mouth.’ It really honestly felt like a dream. Like I was watching it happen even though I was in the midst of it. It was crazy. All three of those matches will always be special to me. Obviously as the Briscoe Brothers kind of swan song. It was just unreal.”
Later on in the interview, Briscoe talked about his special relationship with his brother, saying that FTR laughed at their playful bickering.
“We were the type of best friends that would fight on a daily basis. The first match with FTR, before the show, we’re putting this match together and it was not going smoothly whatsoever. It was tension. Next thing you know, me and Jay get arguing about something. ‘Nah, that’s stupid. We should do it like this.’ We’re sitting there, like we did all the time, fussing at each other and almost getting ready to throw down. We look over and Dax and Cash are almost laughing. It was like an icebreaker. From that moment forward, it was smooth sailing.”
