Hi Garrett!
I worked w/ your dad in AEW.
In 1994, I think I accidentally knocked you over at Disney MGM Studios at Honey I Shrunk the Kids. I cried more than you did. Your dad cheered us both up.
Great job Sunday! Please don't ever seek revenge on me! 30 years! Sincerely, Ian

Jay was one of a kind.
I traveled often with Jay and Mark. We couldn't have been more different but that's what made our friendship something I'll cherish forever.
He'd give you the shirt off his back, his last dime. He was so proud of his kids. Loved his family so much.
Sadly, Jamin Pugh has passed away. Known to fans as Jay Briscoe, he was a star in ROH for over 20 years, from the first show until today.
Jay and his brother Mark dominated ROH, reigning as champions to this day. We'll do whatever we can to support his family.
Rest In Peace Jamin

I have to put my phone down for a bit so I apologize if I don't respond timely but, if you were a fan of Jay Briscoe, you were a fan of Jamin Pugh. Jamin was a great, hard working man that wanted to make his family proud and entertain his fans. We will miss him dearly.

Hello! Someone whose family lost a good chunk of 401K in 2007/2008, here: when my family lost it, they lost it. Why are companies treated differently than people?

Jay believed in his character so a lot of the folks outside the locker room didn't get to see the Jay I saw. The one that called me Ric, asked me to play the guitar for him in England so he could sing, or the millions of other stories I have. May he rest in peace. ♥️

I witnessed a horrible accident on the way home from dropping my grandkids off. I saw a car hit a young man on his motorcycle and he flew approx 500 ft in the air. I ran and was the fist on scene. He died holding my hand. His name was Rick. 😥💔 I may take another day off.
