Match of the Day - Let's go Briscoe!

Jay Briscoe vs. Mark Briscoe - ROH One Year Anniversary Show (2003)

Apparently it's siblings day, so here's some real sibling fighting.

This match at ROH's first anniversary show is only one of countless times the Briscoes have fought each other in the squared circle, just last summer they were facing each other for the ROH World Heavyweight title, but this match is significant in that it is a tribute to Mark's late friend, Brock who had been killed in a car accident earlier that year. The two brothers shake hands and announce that this will be the last time the two will ever fight each other again and will soon be joining the tag team division, a division they would go on to dominate for some time.

Obviously, that whole "last time we ever fight each other" thing didn't last, but this is still an important Briscoe Brothers' match.

Spoiler alert: Briscoe wins.

Match of the Day - RIP Mae Young

Mae Young vs. Fabulous Moolah - WWF Smackdown! (1999)

Today Mae Young passed away after being misreported that she had passed away almost a week ago.

While there is very little footage of Mae Young in her prime, I think it's very appropriate to honor Mae by showing her work that she did with Fabulous Moolah back in 1999 anyway. Mae Young will forever be remembered as that fearless and tough old lady that took bumps off the stage onto tables, called the PG Divas of today sluts, and gave birth to a hand. 

I actually had the chance to see Mae Young wrestle at an indy show when I was younger and I was certain that she was going to wrestle well into her 100's. Still, 90 years old is pretty damn good. 

RIP
