Jay & Mark Briscoe vs Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin [ROH Good Times Great Memories 4/28/2007]
I remember really anticipating this match as the Briscoes were the team to beat in all of wrestling and the MCMG were really proving themselves as a tag team unit. This was also special as it was in the middle of the TNA ban of having talent appear on ROH. There was a nice building of pace in the match as it went from a slow but not too slow feeling out phase to the pacing that you’d expect from both teams. Alex Shelley really stood out in this match as his moves has a crispness to them and looked impactful. One memorable moment is when Shelly makes a line in the sand and Jay fearlessly walks across only for Shelley to appear to beg off but then spits water in his face. Unfortunately for the Guns, it just fired the Briscoes up. The build to the finale of the match is what you’d expect from ROH in 2007 but it was done without too much excessiveness that would bog the style down a couple years later. Just really awesome tag team wrestling of the 2000s.
While I do love my wild Briscoe brawls, this shows what else they were good at, amazing, technical tag team wrestling. The Briscoes always hit everything with such accuracy without taking any realism out of it. I still think this holds up as well as it did in 2007.
RIP Jay Briscoe
