Ring of Honor has announced the following:
Fate Of World Tag Titles Determined
Monday, April 21, 2008
There was a lot of debate in the ROH offices today about what to do with the ROH World Tag Team Titles. Jay & Mark Briscoe won the belts for the 5th time on 4/12 in Edison, NJ. However, Mark was viciously attacked last Saturday in Chicago Ridge, IL by The Age Of The Fall. The attack saw Jimmy Jacobs stab Mark in the wrist, causing severe ligament damage. Mark will undergo surgery this Friday and will be out of action for 3-6 months.
ROH officials decided that it was unfair to strip Jay Briscoe of the titles. After exploring several different possibilities, it has been decided that Jay will be able to pick a replacement partner and continue to defend the belts.
The next ROH World Tag Team Title Match will take place on 5/10 at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, NY when Jay Briscoe and a partner defend against The Age Of The Fall team of Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black.
Jay said he wanted a couple of days to think about a partner. We will report Jay’s choice here when he makes his decision. His partner will be someone already on the ROH roster.
This figures to be the most emotional ROH World Tag Team Title defense of Jay’s career. He said he is fighting for his brother on May 10th in New York City. Tickets are now 33% off at ROHwrestling.com.
