RIP and my thoughts are with his family.
There's no good way to go, especially at his age, but a car accident seems especially senseless and tragic.

Jesus Christ. 38-years-old and from a car crash... life is scary.

Jay Briscoe is a reminder that ignorance need not be one's final destination on a subject. He said something awful, realized his mistakes, repented of his bigotry and made amends. Not a soul can claim he didn't leave his impact on the game. Godspeed Jay.

I think it’s worth getting out of the way that we’ve heard from countless people that he made amends for previous comments. We’ve heard as much from members of this own board that are in the industry. This a f***ing tragedy. Ugh. So young. And ultimately, it is up to the people that he offended whether to forgive him or not For better or worse his career is defined by what he said just as much as he did in the ring BUT he did try to make amends which goes a long way A life cut short way too early but a lasting legacy Right. There are many people that refuse to take responsibility for hurtful things that they've said and done in the past, but he actually made the effort to try, and I do respect him for that.

Rest in Paradise Jay Briscoe.
May God’s loving arms wrap up his loved ones tightly and help them get through this awful time.
My heart breaks.

All I'll say is that 38 is far too young to go. Literally he's the same age as me and because of that it feels like it's flooring me for some reason.

The scariest part about this is that its reminding me of a car accident that I was in about 2 years back. Stopped at a red light, and an SUV slammed into the back of my car at full speed and into the car in front of me. I had seen it coming and was able to brace for the impact, but I'm honestly lucky to be alive.

f***ing heartbreaking. I know he's said some horrible things, but it really seemed like he was trying to change for the best

Seeing elsewhere that he was driving his daughter and some of her friends to cheerleading practice. One of the girls was the other victim, and another is in critical condition. This is from another forum I'm looking at, so no idea if it's true (the person in question says their mom is close to the Briscoes), but if so, it just makes this even more tragic.

Yeah like I said on page one... the feelings of mortality are... not fun. I have mixed feelings on Jay Briscoe the man. I stood by people who were not willing to forgive and forget regarding his past. Or felt that he hadn't done enough to make amends. But man this just feels... bad.

Someone who tries to make amends but for whatever reasons isn't forgiven by the aggrieved party can still go out on the side of the angels, at least in my book. Morality and forgiveness when it mixes with feelings can be complex and I'm sure not going to try to save the world and reconcile those things on a wrestling board.
RIP, Jay. I'm glad you went out better than you had been.

When every comment tells you how he was the kindest person in the locker room and how much he loved his family…he’s going to be remembered the way everyone would want to be. Just a half a life earlier than it should be

Much as I loathe the Usos these days, a dream match I always had was them vs Dem Boys... and Im sad it'll never happen now.
