Jay Briscoe, the one-half of the Briscoe Brothers tag team who passed away at the age of 38-years-old. Ringside News reported the emergency medical services log from the call where Jay Briscoe passed away. It appears that a woman also died at the scene. This story gets even worse as more information is revealed. It is believed that Jay Briscoe’s daughter was also in the wreck, and she was referred to as a “critical pediatric” in the log.
It has been noted that pro wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer was recently called out for reporting false stories. Eric Bischoff retweeted a link to an article that was calling Meltzer out, along with a caption to rile up fans.
Dave is the definition of a useful idiot. Sloppy, lazy, and zero integrity. Surprised it’s taken this long to expose him for what he is. Prominent Wrestling Journalist Dave Meltzer Accused Of Publishing Stories Based On False Information
Let’s expose this piece of garbage for what he is: retweet with wreckless abandon!
Fans replied to Eric Bischoff’s second tweet with anger. “Jay just died, sit down” one fan tweeted back. Another commented to say:
“With all due respect Eric, the wrestling world is mourning tonight. Maybe move this fight to another day.”
The majority thinking was that Eric Bischoff should have saved that tweet about Dave Meltzer. This simply wasn’t the right time for such a comment. Another fan made things very clear with their reply.
Eric, I think the MAJORITY of wrestling fans are focused on SOMETHING ELSE right now…
There’s a such thing as a TIME and a PLACE and sorry man, but THIS ain’t it.
A wrestler has DIED tonight and people are MOURNING… the LEAST you can do is pay some RESPECT!
