Recently Mark Briscoe was in the wrestling news as he called out WWE’s social media team and Triple H for a tweet they posted.
This past weekend was the Ring of Honor Final Battle pay-per-view. During the event, Mark Briscoe teamed up with FTR to take on The Blackpool Combat Club in a Dog Collar Match. Briscoe and his team managed to win the match as well.
During the ROH Final Battle Media Scrum, Mark Briscoe shared the real reason why he called out WWE. The former ROH World Tag Team Champion mentioned that he only opened Twitter to check Dax Harwood’s tribute post about the one year anniversary of the Dog Collar Match between the Briscoes and FTR.
“I’m a human, man. I don’t get on Twitter that often, to be honest. We have a nice group text, the three of us, and Dax texted ‘Happy anniversary.’ One of my favorite matches of all time, that dog collar match. Somebody told me he made a post on Twitter. ‘That’s cool, let me check it out.’ On my phone, I can’t get on Twitter. I blocked it because sometimes, it’s not good for my brain. That social media is not too good for my brain. However, I get on Twitter on my wife’s phone, ain’t no problem. I get on there, I check out the post, Dax made. ‘That’s good stuff.’ Made me feel warm inside. Next thing I know, I do a little scrolling and looking,” Mark Briscoe said. [H/T Fightful.com]
Mark Briscoe thought WWE was being disrespectful with the tweet
While speaking about the incident, Briscoe shared that he assumed that WWE posted it on the same day of the anniversary and felt that they were being very disrespectful. He then realized that it was a post from two days prior. But still he wanted to let the Stamford-based promotion know that there is only one ‘Dem Boyz’ in the business.
“I saw the tweet that I responded to that said ‘Dem Boyz’ with another tag team. When I saw it, I thought it was made that very day. It was made two days prior. I thought it was made by somebody from the other company, or at least had to be approved from somebody from the other company. I thought, ‘Man, on the anniversary of this match that we had, they’re really going to do that? That’s kind of disrespectful. I can’t just keep silent. There’s only one Dem Boyz.’ You can talk about the Dallas Cowboys and multiple songs in the hip hop genre. That’s all good. In professional wrestling, there is only one Dem Boyz. That’s Mark and Jay Briscoe. I had to let them know there only one Dem Boyz.”
Do you think WWE was taking a shot at Mark Briscoe and his brother the late Jay Briscoe?
