Delaware’s Dazzling heights Jay Briscoe vs. Mark Briscoe 25.06.2005
Normally i start these reviews with some information about the venue, but this match takes place outside in what Cagematch called “Parking Lot Of Memories Bar And Lounge” from my research tells me that thee place is still open and looks like this
Further research lead me to a blog called ‘SBYNEWS’ which looks like this:
The site has a police report of a recent incident at the memories bar where 20 to 30 people got into a fight. One man named ‘Eddy Almonte’ was waving a baseball bat around and was arrested. The comment section of this blog can give us more insight into what kind of palace memories is. Chimera wrote on April 5, 2009 at 1:00 PM “Memories is a dump! Thats where you go when the other bars kick you out!” which i could of told you that without ever visiting the place. The comment section then turns to talk about the ownership of this memories establishment. April 5, 2009 at 1:33 PM an anonymous user claims “The Delamr Pizza guys own Memories.“ Now who are the Delamr Pizza guys? I do not know but we should not worry ourselves with that face because another anonymous user disputes this claim stating on April 6, 2009 at 9:32 AM “the delmar pizza guys do not own memories. Tom sold it to a Mexican a few days after he bought it from bunky and sylvia. memories went down hill Nov 27 2003, same with other bars in DE. that place had potintiual but when you have roaches controlling it, it will go noway but down“ riveting pros aside we must thank this mexican and the roaches for the match we have today.
I'm sure you're delighted to know that SBYNEWS is still a thriving blog seemingly moved away from being just about local news it now talks about climate change not being real and the danger of trans people, what a fun country.
I always found the Briscoes redneck persona and continuous use of Confederate imagery to be confusing given the two hail from Delaware, a place I associated with Joe Biden and Donte DiVincenzo but after looking into SBYNEWS I now get it.
To the match itself its the 25th of June 2005 and Jay Briscoe is coming out to the ring with a guy called Big Hippie who's dressed like a guy with a killer golf swing. Mark comes out to ‘Can't Stop’ by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, both brothers dressed in the peak of early 2000s fashion meaning baggy shorts that go down to your shins. On commentary we have two wise asses with what I can only assume are the most punchable faces you've ever seen. The commentary informs us this match came together from the two brothers getting into a row at the bar last night. We start with a simple collar and elbow tie-up to the corner followed by some nice chops but the match really gets going when they brawl to the outside.
Jay and Mark Briscoes throw chair shots at each other in a way only brothers could. You couldn't and shouldn't take these liberties with any other wrestler but with your brother who you have built your life and career with you can swing on them with all the might you have neither man ever gets their hands up or hold anything back. Mark has perhaps the best crimson mask of all time just blood gushing from his head. Chairs get broken and id wager skulls are broken too. I Often get annoyed by the so called ‘Safety police’ when it comes to wrestling but if this is too far for you, hey i get it. A match like this could take place even a year later as the Benoit incident would happen. Matches like this probably shouldn't happen, but we have to enjoy what he have. Following some incredibly stiff punches for good measure the match eventually makes its way back into the ring they trade top rope elbow and some suplex where they land on their head. Jay wins with a brutal looking Butterfly Piledriver.
I love the Briscoes, I miss Jay.
