AEW and ROH celebrate the life and legacy of Jamin Pugh in special tribute show.

Jan 26, 2023 January 26th, 2023

With the wrestling world still reeling from the tragic passing of Jamin 'Jay Briscoe' Pugh on 17 January, the Tribute and Life Celebration special filmed shortly after Jay's death has now been made available online to watch for free.

Due to Warner Bros. Discovery denying AEW the opportunity to put together a special Dynamite episode in tribute of Jamin last week, Tony Khan's promotion filmed a separate tribute special following the 18 January outing for AEW's Wednesday night flagship.

At the time, it was said that this special - titled Jay Briscoe Tribute and Life Celebration - would be made available online to fans at a later date, with the show taken place under the banner of Ring of Honor. And today, that Tribute and Life Celebration has today been uploaded to ROH's YouTube channel and is also available on the Honor Club streaming service.

With Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman on commentary, the matches taped last week for this tribute show were:

- ROH Pure Champion Wheeler Yuta vs. Hagane Shinno

- Marina Shafir vs. Mighty Myra

- Eddie Kingston vs. QT Marshall

- ROH Women's Champion Athena vs. Madison Rayne w/ Skye Blue

- Juice Robinson vs. Brandon Cutler

- Yuka Sakazaki vs. Sandra Moon

- ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli vs. Christopher Daniels

In addition to these bouts, Adam Cole paid his in-ring respects to Jay Briscoe, and the Tribute and Life Celebration also features tributes from various members of the AEW and ROH rosters, and several classic Briscoe Brothers matches.

Last night saw Mark Briscoe compete on AEW Dynamite, defeating fellow ROH stalwart - and long-time Jay Briscoe rival - Jay Lethal in a highly emotional encounter that served as a perfect, poignant tribute to Mark's older sibling.

While Warner Bros. Discovery last week refused to make Dynamite a tribute to Jay Briscoe, Tony Khan pushed hard for last night's Dynamite to be able to honour the life and legacy of Jamin Pugh. As such, not just did we get Mark Briscoe vs. Jay Lethal, but there was a Jay Briscoe video package aired earlier in the night, and the entire AEW roster closed out Dynamite by appearing on the stage to pay their respects to Jamin.

Jay passed away after a fatal car accident in Laurel, Delaware nine days ago at the age of just 38. Briscoe's car collided with 27-year-old Lillyanne Ternahan, who also tragically lost her life in this crash.

For those who are able to help, a GiveSendGo campaign is still running to raise funds for Jamin Pugh's family, while there is a similar campaign in place to assist the family of Lillyanne Ternahan.

In addition to this, Pro Wrestling Tees and Ring of Honor have launched a commemorative Jay Briscoe t-shirt, from which 100% of the proceeds will be donated to Jay's family.
