Real Name: Mark Pugh

Height and Weight: 6'0" 220 lbs

Years in the business: 19 (veteran on the cusp of being Ring General.)

Mark Briscoe, along with his more successful brother Jay, joined the Combat Zone Wrestling promotion after cutting his teeth on the indies.

Unlike a majority of CZW's stars, the Briscoes tended to use technical wrestling and high flying more than brutal weaponry which the promotion is more commonly associated with.

Less than a year after debuting, Mark and Jay would join the Ring of Honor promotion while that company was in its infancy. The duo were a smash hit and held the ROH tag team titles multiple times.

Jay Briscoe was eventually pushed to the main event, where he would enjoy over two years without being pinned or submitted and winning the ROH world championship. He would still occasionally wrestle with Mark, but there's no doubt which man the company valued more.

As well as ROH, the Briscoes have wrestled all over the world, and are recognized as international stars.

Why he deserves a push: Jay might be better looking and have a smidge more technical wrestling talent, but Mark Briscoe just oozes charisma.

His exciting Redneck Kung Fu striking and crazy high flying are often the highlights of any match he's involved in, and his mike skills are top notch.

Fans just want to like Mark Briscoe, and it's a shame he hasn't enjoyed the same success as his brother.
