10 Best Independent American Wrestlers Today

Briscoe Brothers Jay and Mark were reportedly given the cold shoulder by WWE after a try-out in 2009, but Vince McMahon's loss has been to the gain of almost everyone else. The no-nonsense tag team have appeared in just about every wrestling promotion in existence - not least of all Ring of Honor, where they are the record eight-time World Tag Team Champions (Jay, incidentally, has also held the World title twice).

Despite having some fifteen years of wrestling under their belt already, the duo - still comfortably one of the most sought-after bookings on the independent circuit - are showing no signs of slowing down. They recently competed for ROH's six-man tag belts alongside Bully Ray, having lost the IWGP tag straps late last year.
