Mike Santana: “To Me, No Bullsh*t, The Briscoe Brothers Are The Greatest Tag Team Of All Time”
Mike Santana expresses his opinion that The Briscoes are the greatest tag team of all time.
Santana remembers working with Mark and Jay.
It has been two years since Jamin Pugh a.k.a. Jay Briscoe passed away at the age of 38. His brother Mark Briscoe is regularly featured on AEW television. In segments and media appearances, he often pays tribute to his brother.
The Briscoes as a tag team was brought up during Johnny I Pro’s sit-down chat with Mike Santana. Santana shared his opinion that Mark and Jay are the greatest tag team of all time.
“Especially getting to work with The Briscoes. To me, no bullsh*t, The Briscoe Brothers are the greatest tag team of all time. I don’t care what anybody says. I’ll put them against anybody. No one in this industry that will go against The Briscoe Brothers. That’s how I feel about them. Just their chemistry. Their consistency and how long they’ve been doing it at such a high level. If you look at their matches from the beginning to a few years ago, they didn’t lose a step. They kept — I always say, ‘One speed, bro.’ Those guys are the definition and epitome of one speed. You see your name across from The Briscoe Brothers, you better lace them up tight and you coming to work, and that was one thing that always stood out to me and just, those dudes, they went everywhere, wrestled everybody. Gained massive respect from the entire industry as you saw, you know, when Jay — R.I.P. bro. When he passed away, it shook the industry because they were just so loved and well-known and respected…”
Both Santana and Mark are scheduled for in-ring action in their respective promotions this weekend. Santana will be facing A.J. Francis at Under Siege and on the AEW front, Briscoe is taking on Ricochet in a Stretcher Match at Double or Nothing.
