American professional wrestler Jamin Pugh went by the ring name Jay Briscoe.
He was most recognized for his work with Ring of Honor, where at the time of his passing, he and his brother Mark Briscoe were in the midst of their 13th reign as ROH World Tag Team Champions.
He was also a part of the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions and a two-time ROH World Champion.
At Delaware Invasion on January 20, 2001, Trent Acid and Jay and Mark Briscoe made their Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) debuts in a three-on-one handicap match.
The first Best of the Best event, which is slightly different from other CZW shows in that it is a tournament, saw the two make it through the first round.
Instead of engaging in bloody hardcore battles where the loser would be declared the winner, he concentrated on athletic junior heavyweight wrestling.
