the triple threader - jan. 23, 2023
Welcome to the Triple Threader, where we talk about the three biggest stories in pro wrestling.
Jay Briscoe: 1984-2023
The wrestling world continues to mourn the passing Jamin Pugh, better known as Jay Briscoe. The 13-time Ring of Honor Tag Team Champion passed away from a car accident while he was driving with his daughters. Gracie and Jayleigh, both 12 and 9 respectively, were seriously injured, but will survive. Wrestlers from AEW, WWE, and Impact shared their tributes, with the former company conducting a celebration of life that is to premiere on ROH’s YouTube and Honor Club channels in the near future. Pro Sports Fanatics would like to send our condolences to his brother Mark, the Pugh family, his friends, and fans.
