Several years ago, I watched a shoot video where Jay Briscoe stated that following a WWE tryout, they received a phone call from John Laurinaitis.
During that call, John told the Briscoes that while they had the raw talent needed to succeed in the WWE, they were simply not “aesthetically pleasing” enough to represent the company. In simpler terms, John told them that they didn't have that cookie-cutter physical look needed to be in the WWE.

Since that time, Jay and Mark Briscoe have continued to thrive in ROH, as well as in Japan. These guys have had massive success as a tag team, but have also done pretty well for themselves in singles competition, especially Jay.
The Briscoes have a natural draw about them. They represent the common man, similar to the way Dusty Rhodes did. They don't dress flashy, they're certainly not politically correct by any means. However, they bring the business each and every time the bell rings.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
