#3 The Briscoe Brothers

If you are looking for a typical, pretty-boy, cookie-cutter tandem...keep looking. Mark and Jay Briscoe are as real and raw as it gets. When they're not competing in the ring, you can find them at home, on their Deleware farm.

The Briscoe Brothers have enjoyed an entire career full of big-time success from the States, to Japan and abroad. Together, Mark and Jay have held the Ring of Honor Tag Titles, which includes the current reign they are enjoying right now. They have also won titles in Japan, including the IWGP Tag Team Championships.

The Briscoe's have been competing in the squared-circle for roughly 18-years, but considering the fact that they are both still relatively young, they likely have several great years ahead of them. As a long time fan of The Briscoe's, I feel like it's really a shame that WWE officials opted against signing them following multiple tryouts. In fact, they were told by WWE talent scouts that they were "not cosmetically pleasing" enough to be WWE Superstars. Let that one sink in next time you see guys like Braun Strowman, or maybe someone like Erick Rowan make their way to the ring.

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.
