This week's Ring of Honor TV spotlights the first-ever ROH Hall of Famers, The Briscoes.

ROH NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS 2003 - ROH Tag Team Champions AJ Styles & The Amazing Red with Alexis Laree vs. The Briscoes

Jay Briscoes and Red start out fighting back and forth with Jay controlling the smaller Red.  Mark tags in and goes for a German suplex but Red slips out and lands on his feet.  AJ tags in and they go back and forth with some nice counter wrestling until Styles catches Mark with a German suplex.  Jay hits the ring and is superkicked by Red, sending him into a German suplex and going to the floor.  Styles and Red hit stereo dives to the floor.

Later, Mark cuts off Styles with a suplex and scores several two counts.  Red tags in and works over Mark until Jay nailed a missile dropkick.  Styles controls Mark for a long time.  Jay tags in and controls Red.  Styles hits the ring but is caught by a Mark brainbuster.   Jay works over Red, wiping him out with a big clothesline.  Red tags out to AJ but Mark had distracted the referee so it isn't allowed.  Red finally makes the hot tag so Styles and Briscoe battle.    Mark is suplexed hard on his head.  Jay and AJ brawl.  Mark and Red charge and drill the other with knee strikes.  Jay pulls out the Cactus Clothesline, taking himself and Styles over the top to the floor.

Red goes for Code Red but Jay returned to the ring and prevents it.  The Briscoes hit a double DDT variation on Red.  Styles breaks up the pinfall.  Lots of big ,moves until Red hits a hurancanrana off the top on Mark, who Styles catches in mid-air and nails with the Styles Clash.

Your winners and still ROH Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles & The Amazing Red!

Really fun match, even years later.  It made me miss the old Murphy Rec Center.

They run down highlights of each of the Briscoes' ROH Tag Team Championship victories.

GLOBAL WARS 2018 - MAINE  - The Briscoes vs. Cody & Adam Page.

Page and Mark started out, trying to test each other.  Jay and Cody tagged in.  They went into a test of strength before breaking and circling each other.  Jay nailed Cody, who came back with a right hand from underneath a la Goldust.   Cody nailed a dropkick and tagged out to Page.  They whipped Jay into the corner but he fought them off as they advanced towards him,  Mark tagged in and Jay nailed a gourd buster on Page, being dropped by Jay and went for a cover as the stream dropped.

It returned with Mark having control over Page.  They immediately apologized and noted the power in the building went out.  Well, that had to suck.  Cody tagged in and controlled Mark.  They joked Sabu showed up when the lights went out.  The Briscoes took control and double teamed Cody.  They beat Cody down in their corner.   Mark was working over Cody on the floor but Brandi grabbed a chair.  Mark tossed Cody back in and backed away from her.  The Briscoes continued working over Cody.

Mark nailed a Spicoli Driver and went to the top.  Cody avoided a move and rebounded off the ropes.  They clotheslined each other.  They each recovered and tagged out to their respective partners.   Page went for a clothesline but Jay ducked, only to be hit with another.   Page set up and charged but was sent up and over in the corner.  Page hit the shooting star shoulderblock on Mark and returned to face Jay, nailing a big German suplex for a two count.  Brandi got knocked down at some point and began selling she re-injured her arm.

The Briscoes were sent into each other by Page, who nailed a top rope moonsault to the floor.  Mark returned to the ring, where Cody caught him with the CrossRhodes but Jay broke up the pinfall at the two count.  The Briscoes cornered Page.  Jay nailed the Jay Driller.  Mark nailed the Froggy Bow elbow for the pin.

Your winners, The Briscoes!

A really damn good competitive bout.

That's it for ROH.  Next week, Bryan Danielson!
