(c)<\/p>\n<p>Back \u201clive\u201d, El Generico and Kevin Steen are working well as a team, using 2-on-1 tag wrestling to work over Jay Briscoe.\u00a0 The match has an interesting dynamic, as El Generico wrestles as a babyface, yet Steen is working as a heat-seeking heel.\u00a0 The teams continue to go back-and-forth on offense, with Mark Briscoe beating on El Generico as we go to another commercial.

(c)<\/p>\n<p>Back to action, there are dueling \u201cJay\u201d and \u201cMark\u201d chants by the fans.\u00a0 The match continues with a sluggish pace, as neither brother could gain the offensive advantage.\u00a0 Each man knows the other so well, obviously, that they do an impressive job countering the other\u2019s attempts to go on offense.\u00a0 The action spills outside the ring about six minutes in, and Mark gets a small advantage as we go to another commercial pause. (c)<\/p>\n<p>Returning \u201clive\u201d, Jay Briscoe is on offense, but is not able to stay that way for long, as each brother continues the excellent counter wrestling.\u00a0 A couple minutes later, Jay and Mark go outside the ring, and in an odd moment of collaboration, get a table from under the ring, and set it up together.\u00a0 After deeming it properly set, the brawl continues with both attempting to use the table on the other.\u00a0 Both men return to the ring, with Jay delivering punishment on Mark into commercial. (c)<\/p>\n<p>We return to Mark hitting an Exploder suplex on Jay and going on offense.\u00a0 The action goes back outside with Mark placing Jay on the table, and delivering a top rope Froggy Bow on Jay through the table.\u00a0 Mark throws Jay into the ring, and hits another top rope Froggy Bow for a believable near fall.<\/p>\n<p>The finish occurs when Jay hits a Jay Driller out of the blue for a long two count.\u00a0 Jay follows this up immediately with a devastating lariat and a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Jay Driller, although Mark kicks out at 1.\u00a0 Jay swiftly delivers a 3<sup>rd<\/sup> Jay Driller on Mark, and finally gets the 1-2-3.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Jay Briscoe at 20:53<\/p>\n<p><em>(Ryan\u2019s Reaction: I did not realize the match went 20 minutes, as the pacing was good and both men worked extremely hard.\u00a0 This was not a technical wrestling, 5-star mat classic, but a fight between two brothers.\u00a0 This was a great match, and leaves me hoping the company decided to revisit Mark vs Jay in the future, as we missed out on a classic when their contest at Past vs Present was, understandably, cancelled.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Jay is celebrating in the ring, as the show quickly fades to black.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS<\/strong>:\u00a0 I thoroughly enjoyed this week\u2019s show on The Briscoes.<\/p>\n<p>I will admit that I worry this format will be difficult to continue for multiple months, as the company only has so many talent on the roster.\u00a0 In addition, because of the Briscoes long history with ROH and their unique real-life story, they were the ideal choice to feature in the first episode of this kind.\u00a0 And finally, seeing the landmarks of Delaware, my home state, and knowing the Briscoes live so close to me, makes this show far more appealing to me than the average viewer.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, I was skeptical before watching this week\u2019s episode, but I am left feeling like this was one of the better shows Ring of Honor has produced in 2020, and I am eagerly awaiting next week\u2019s feature on Jay Lethal.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH UP&#8230;<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2020\/03\/27\/3-20-roh-tv-report-briscoes-vs-jeff-cobb-dan-maff-alex-shelley-vs-ray-horus-two-guys-one-tag-vs-jonathan-gresham-jay-lethal\/\">3\/20 ROH TV REPORT: Briscoes vs. Jeff Cobb &amp;
