Tony Khan reveals some details on Jay Briscoe ROH tribute show
While announcing some details Wednesday, AEW & Ring of Honor head Tony Khan said more will be revealed on tonight’s Dynamite regarding the Jay Briscoe ROH tribute show they taped matches for last week.
Talking to Busted Open Radio Wednesday, Khan said the show will be three hours and consist of some of Briscoe’s best matches, interviews with those who knew him best, and matches that were taped after last Wednesday’s Dynamite by those who wanted to honor him.
He also said the show will be available on YouTube after an episode of AEW Dynamite with more information about that to be announced tonight.
The 38-year-old Briscoe died in a fatal car crash last Tuesday that also took the life of the driver that hit his truck head-on and seriously injured his two daughters who are still recovering in the hospital.
Tonight’s Dynamite will also feature tributes to Briscoe on what would have been his 39th birthday. His brother and longtime tag team partner, Mark, will make his AEW debut against Jay Lethal.
