Did he not learn from his brother to keep his mouth shut. He's gonna screw things up over something trivial and a phrase that's been said long before the Briscoes.

It may be trivial to you, but using a phrase that's been linked to the Briscoes for decades on basically the anniversary of Jay's last match is not going to be trivial to Mark. His reaction is also not in the same league as homophobic tweets. I don't think the original tweet had any ill intent in it and I'm sure it's an unfortunate coincidence and use of a phrase, but I don't think any of us have the right to tell Mark Briscoe his reaction is wrong, either.

Sorry but I think that's a f***ing AWFUL take. In wrestling it's very much a Briscoe thing, and rightly or wrongly he's bound to be upset at seeing it used for some other team in the same year his brother literally f***ing died. Comparing it to Jay's old tweets is unbelievably weird as well, there just isn't a comparison there and even if there were Mark is his own person, what has anything his brother said in the past got to do with this? And what's he likely to "screw up" here exactly? Nobody in AEW is likely to be angry with him and I can't imagine he'd give a solitary shit what anyone in WWE thinks about it all. On the Dem Boyz thing itself I'm sure it's perfectly possible the person who tweeted it meant nothing by it, and was potentially even oblivious to the Briscoe's, but I'm not sure where the whole "the Briscoe's didn't come up with it so it's fine!" thing is coming from. Steve Austin didn't invent the phrase Hell Yeah, LA Knight didn't invent the word YEAH, but it would be a sore point if they died and a few months later those phrases became associated, even if it's only loosely, with another act in wrestling. It's heavily associated with the Briscoe's. People have compared it to the Carmelo Hayes/Devil T-Shirt thing, but think of it if more like if Hayes had died and then the same year that T-Shirt came out. Then it would be much more comparable as Jay's death is clearly going to be the reason Mark is so pissed off by it.

I'm just saying tweeting something like that when he got out of the doghouse is a bad idea. Whether or not the intent was jovial it still is something he shouldn't have tweeted.

Not for nothing. But the company was founded by people who got super over for ripping off other people’s catchphrases and taunts.

For what it's worth Mark has since apologized and said he just misses his brother so he lashed out after seeing it.

I don't think everything needs an online debate or discussion. Sometimes someone just has some feelings and puts it out there and that's all it is. Always try to have empathy in these situations.

Mark Briscoe is entitled to feel whatever the hell he wants to about it, as that phrase was so intricately tied to his tag team with his late brother. That being said, the person at WWE who tweeted that almost certainly didn’t post that as something intentionally disrespectful to Jay or Mark or anyone, and everybody outside of those two people needed to slow their roll before saying anything. Instead, it’s just another day of inane wrestling Twitter discourse that just makes me want no part of this f***in’ “fan”base.

Briscoe has taken the criticism to his tweet much better than a lot of people took his criticism of the initial tweet.

I think Mark is free to post what he feels, and he even apologized so I can understand him. Losing your brother is never gonna be easy.
Maria’s stuff was a whole other thing, like it’s one thing for sticking up for your friend, but she turned it into a CM Punk thing and man it was just not it.

I hate wrestling Twitter with a passion.
Filled with a bunch of f***ing hateful losers that have nothing else to do in their miserable lives than to shit on performers, companies, angles ad nauseum, not seeking any sort of interesting discourse, just spewing shit out of their fingertips onto the world.
