The Briscoes GONE FROM ROH

From PWInsider:
TOP ACT GONE FROM RING OF HONOR, ROH TITLE UPDATE
By Mike Johnson on 2013-06-26 07:07:11 ROH champion Jay Briscoe
and Mark Briscoe have both wrestled their final matches for Ring
of Honor, possibly for good.
As we broke on Monday in the PWInsider Elite section, Ring of
Honor ran an angle over the weekend where Jay Briscoe was beaten
down by SCUM, writing him out of the promotion. Mark Briscoe was
written out with the story being that he was injured wrestling
Jay at the Best in the World iPPV.
The exit had been the planned departure for the brothers for
some time and pre-dated the Jay Briscoe Twitter debacle from a
month ago. It was not something rushed at the last second and
was planned prior to Jay winning the ROH title over Wrestlemania
weekend.
The implication from different sources is that Briscoe vs.
Briscoe taking place in Baltimore (not far from their hometown
in Delaware, with TONS of family members in attendance) was
designed to be something of a send-off for the pair, who have
been with the promotion since their first event in February
2002. This past weekend's ROH TV was entirely dedicated to the
brothers as well.
With WWE hiring so many new talents in advance of their WWE
Performance Center opening on 7/8, the initial belief among ROH
talents was that the Briscoes had finished with ROH en route to
signing a WWE deal. WWE sources have stated no deal is on the
table, but admitted there was past interest. It's possible the
Briscoe Twitter issues may have led to WWE pulling back on that
interest, given the magnifying glass the company is under
politically, but no one has definitively told me that.
As noted on Monday in the Elite section, at the very least, the
brothers are taking a hiatus from the company and will not be
back anytime in the near future. They are not currently figured
into any short-term plans for ROH, although that obviously could
change at any time.
As of today, the Briscoes are not under ROH contract. That said,
should they not sign elsewhere, it stands to reason that at some
point they will be back at some point. Both Briscoes have long
stated that being around to see their children grow up was of
the utmost importance to them, something that the insanity of a
WWE schedule would not allow as much freedom to do in comparison
to working for ROH. They are pretty much legends within the
company and walk back in for a top position at whim.
The current status of the ROH title is also up in the air. ROH
sources remain tight-lipped on the belt, but if Jay Briscoe
isn't figured into the current plans, obviously the promotion
will have to do something. A tournament to crown a new champion
seems to be most likely, but that would also break the lineage
of the belt for the first time since Low Ki won the championship
in June 2002. With ROH TV taped through late July, the promotion
will be in no rush to address that situation, since it won't
have played out to their TV viewers until then. A lot can change
in that much time, but as of now, it would appear we've seen Jay
Briscoe's last ROH title defense.
ROH sources indicate they have remained in contact with the
Briscoes and all between the two sides is 100% amicable. There
is absolutely no heat between the two sides, at all.

Guess we'll see shortly. I find it odd that Jay Briscoe is on
their poster for Milwaukee. Let's see what happens as matches,
etc... get announced for these house shows.

From ROHWrestling.com:
Major Briscoe News!
WARNING: contains spoilers for future ROH TV Episodes
Last weekend in Baltimore was a physically brutal one for both
World Champion Jay Briscoe and his “Best in the World 2013”
challenger Mark Briscoe. The brothers tore into one another in
one of the more physical championship battles and it ultimately
required Jay to utilize multiple Jay Drillers in order to put
his brother down for the three count. Unfortunately, as a result
of those maneuvers and the general punishment suffered in the
bout, Mark Briscoe was forced out of his spot in the Steel Cage
Warfare bout that went down during the following day's “Ring of
Honor Wrestling” TV Tapings.
As for Jay, the day of those tapings he defended his title once
again, this time against S.C.U.M's Matt Hardy and although he
was victorious in the bout, following the match the champion was
viciously assaulted with a steel chair by S.C.U.M and left
laying.
Unfortunately, ROHWrestling.com has since learned that, as a
result of the injuries sustained during “Best in the World”
weekend, both Jay and Mark will be out of action indefinitely.
Mark suffered severe head trauma as a result of the bout with
his brother while Jay apparently has a fractured shoulder and
torn rotator cuff coming from the assault at the hands of
S.C.U.M. At this point it is unknown how long Jay and Mark will
be out of action but we will stay on top of the story to provide
you with details, as they are made available to us.
ROHWrestling.com also contacted Match Maker Nigel McGuinness for
an update on how this would affect the championship held by Jay
Briscoe and he informed us that there will be an announcement
made soon regarding the status of the ROH World Title. Nigel did
inform us that he intended to announce this week that Michael
Elgin would receive his championship opportunity on August 3rd
in Toronto but now that is in question. ROHWrestling.com has
heard rumors that with Elgin scheduled to be the next man in
line for a shot, he may be awarded the World Title due to
forfeit.
All of the events that led to this will be seen on “Ring of
Honor Wrestling” TV broadcasts over the course of the next
several weeks or you will be able to see it all unfold very
shortly courtesy of the Early Bird TV options here on
ROHWrestling.com.
Stay tuned for more details on the status of the World Title as
they are made available....

Meltzer weighs in, on the Observer board:
Even "the WWE pulled their offer" is premature.
It is possible that will end up happening. It's possible they
won't pass testing if they get an offer. Everything is up in the
air. Possible TNA will make an offer. Nothing is certain other
than their contracts are up and if they get a better offer
they're gone. If not, they'll be back in August.

[/quote] If WWE or TNA do not offer them a deal they will stay
with ROH I put money on that . They are getting PPVI matches and
being in the main event what more can they ask for from ROH.

Never say never in wrestling, and money isn't everything. They
are both family guys and have talked about that greatly. If they
do go to WWE, they will be down in FCW for a while till call up.
If they do go however it opens up the possibility of the return
of The Kings of Wrestling as a team. We shall see, they have a
lot of talent bubbling at the moment.
