ROH World Tag Team Champions Jay & Mark Briscoe are about to break a record set by Austin Aries & Roderick Strong. They might be close, but it is far from a sure thing.
If Jay & Mark Briscoe make it out of New York City with the titles are 12/29 & 30 they will become the longest reigning ROH World Tag Team Champions ever. Aries & Strong set the record by holding the straps for one day short of nine months from 12/17/05-9/16/05. If The Briscoes make it past the Sunday afternoon show at the Manhattan Center with the belts they will pass the nine month mark, having won the belts on 3/30/07.
However, The Briscoes road to the record is far from easy. The 12/29 pay-pay-per taping in Manhattan will see them put the titles on the line in a 2/3 Falls match against Roderick Strong & Rocky Romero. These two teams collided in a very solid match at "Glory By Honor VI: Night 1" on 11/2. Now the stakes have risen with 2/3 falls and a nationwide audience. The Briscoes have won eight consecutive falls in 2/3 Fall matches dating back to last January, when they defeated Strong & Aries in two straight.
"Oh they won't break the record," Strong said. "This one is personal for me. This is my record. I'm not going to let The Briscoes take it. This is PPV and the Manhattan Center. You better believe we will be pulling out all the stops. This time it is going to be the No Remorse Corps in two straight falls. It is the night we snap all the streaks."
If The Briscoes make it past the NRC on Saturday, things won't get any easier. They'll be faced with bitter rivals Jimmy Jacobs & Tyler Black of The Age Of The Fall. Here is where things get interesting. If The Briscoes lose the Titles on 12/29, they will still face Jacobs & Black. The stipulation will be Anything Goes. If Jay & Mark retain the belts, they will put them on the line on 12/30 against Jacobs & Black. This will be a regular match, meaning that they will have to abide by the rules. "Final Battle 2007" on 12/30 will be the first time that the Jacobs & Black duo square off with The Briscoes.
"We have no problem following the rules if it means getting a ROH World Tag Title shot," Jacobs said. "We will work within your system to destroy it. Our ultimate goal is the ROH World Tag Team Titles. That represents power. Once we gain power we will be unstoppable. You are either a soldier beside us in the fight or a victim. If we have to spill some blood and hang some bodies from the ceiling to reach our goal, we will and we have."
There have been some great tag teams in ROH history. CM Punk & Colt Cabana, AJ Styles & Amazing Red, Austin Aries & Roderick Strong, Jack Evans & Strong, Alex Shelley & Jimmy Rave, BJ Whitmer & Jimmy Jacobs all come to mind. If The Briscoes can break this record there will be no doubt that they stand on top of the pile. This is what makes legends.
