50 Best Wrestlers Of The 2020s (So Far)
29. Mark Briscoe
Mark Briscoe has long been one of wrestling’s most underrated and unfiltered performers, and an iconic trilogy of matches with FTR in 2022 looked to set the standard for tag team wrestling well into the decade. However, an unthinkable tragedy changed the conversation completely.
Following the passing of his brother Jay in 2023, Mark’s role shifted from beloved doubles wild man to a solo act carrying both the legacy of one of the greatest tag teams in wrestling history and his own personal story. What followed was a redemptive run in AEW that proved just how special Mark Briscoe truly is. A world champion-elect on any given night, Briscoe loses more than he wins but could be slotted in at the very top of a card without warning and be received as the biggest star in the industry.
Filled with heart, humour and just the right amount of menace, Briscoe's voice became one of reason during disjointed times within the company, holding onto his aura while many around lost theirs. The big run hasn't happened yet, but the mere fact that it still could in spite of all the pinfall losses highlights just how teflon he is. In an the era of churn, there may be no trait more valuable.
