Grading the best tag teams in the world today

#5 The Briscoes

Mark and Jay Briscoe are long-time Ring of Honor stalwarts

Mark and Jay Briscoe are the long-time Ring of Honor performers who can take a licking and keep on kicking--butt, that is.

Every time a rumor starts to circulate that the Briscoes are going to leave Ring of Honor, they sign new contracts with the company. The duo is now a record-setting eleven-time world tag team champions with the company, which is a record that will probably never be broken.

How do the veteran duo fare on our grading scale?

Technical Wrestling Ability: From Redneck Kung Fu to Jay Briscoe's precise technical execution, the duo compliments each other quite well and are among the most outstanding performers working in pro wrestling today. A+

Promo/Interview Ability: The Briscoes can cut a promo with the best of them, without the need of glitzy stages or pyrotechnics or theme music. Their family's chicken ranch in Sandy Fork Delaware does just fine as a backdrop. A+

Win/Loss Record: With eight wins and five losses, the Briscoes still failed to achieve an impressive ratio for such a veteran team. B-

Championships: The Briscoes are eleven time Ring of Honor tag team champions, a rare feat. A

Mainstream Media Appeal: The Briscoes are somewhat known outside of wrestling, but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. Jay in particular has said some things on social media that are out of touch with modern sensibilities. D

Industry Influence: The Briscoes revitalized tag team wrestling on the indie scene and their style has become the standard for the industry. B

Overall Grade: A- The Briscoes are a top tag team, but their poor record in recent months have hurt their stock somewhat.
