The Briscoe Brothers are regarded as one of the greatest tag teams of all time. However, Dave Meltzer recently took to Twitter to speculate on why the duo never got signed to WWE.
Over the years, Jay and Mark Briscoe have established their place with their work in Ring of Honor and on the independent circuit. They are 12-time ROH World Tag Team Champions.
According to a recent tweet from Dave Meltzer, the reason why WWE never signed The Briscoes is due to certain tweets sent out by Jay a few years ago. The 38-year-old has since apologized for the tweets but it has kept them from being signed to the Stamford-based company.

"Jay did some tweets many years ago which he apologized for but it still kept the Briscoes out of WWE and Turner Broadcasting wouldn't allow them on TV either," wrote Dave Meltzer.
