The reaction online from all corners of the pro wrestling community to the death of Jay Briscoe has been amazing since the news broke Tuesday night.

I wanted to highlight the reactions from the DMV region, especially the voices from pro wrestling in Delaware who knew him best as their neighbor, friend, or mentor.

The entire MCW family is devastated by the loss of a certified Tag Team legend in Jamin Pugh aka Jay Briscoe. He and his brother Mark had some of their first tag team matches in #MCW before they would go on to become #ROH Legends and 13X World Tag Champions. Rest In Power.

There will be more reactions later that I will try to round up. I am also trying to put together a special episode of Belts, Bumps, & Barbed Wire with some of the people who knew Jamin Pugh well talking about their memories of him.
