Career

Briscoe worked in indy promotions in Delaware before joining Combat Zone Wrestling with his brother Mark Briscoe as The Briscoe Brothers, they are considered to be one of the best tag teams in the North American independent circuit.

In CZW, their breakout match came when they had to wrestle each other in a match at CZW's Best of the Best Tournament, Jay won via a top rope Jay Driller to which they received a huge standing ovation. At the time of the match Jay was 17 and Mark was 16.

After wrestling under masks as "The Midnight Outlaws" to avoid legal trouble, the Briscoes started wrestling for a new upstart promotion Ring of Honor. Shortly afterward, CZW owner John Zandig informed Jay that Mark would no longer be used, which led the Briscoes to leave CZW.

At first Jay wrestled singles for ROH, then feuding with his brother before forming as a tag team. As a tag team, they won the ROH Tag Team Championship, and had very memorable matches against A.J. Styles and Samoa Joe, the Havana Pitbulls, Amazing Red and A.J. Styles, and the Second City Saints' members CM Punk and Colt Cabana.

Continuing with singles action, Jay had two very memorable matches against ROH Heavyweight Champion Samoa Joe, the last being a cage match in which Briscoe suffered severe blood loss. After a kick to the head from Low Ki, Briscoe suffered a concussion, putting him out of action for a short while on August 7 2004. His brother Mark was injured soon afterwards in a motorcycle accident, causing Mark to put his wrestling career on hold. Jay didn't want to return to wrestling without Mark, so he also put his career on hold.

After their extented absence, Jay, with his brother Mark, returned to Ring of Honor full time on February 25 2006 at ROH's Fourth Anniversary Show in Edison, New Jersey .
