To touch on Mark Briscoe, I’ve got the utmost respect for him, Jay, as well, obviously. I loved them in Ring of Honor. They were locker room leaders. They were lead-by-example guys. They delivered at all times. What Mark has been able to do as a singles wrestler blows my mind.

He is arguably the most likable babyface in professional wrestling. I had a couple of family members there on Wednesday who saw him for the first time, and that’s all they could talk about. The idea that that’s the first opponent, I don’t think I could have personally picked one better.
