I just checked ROH's board and Gabe made this post:
Since there is so much speculation about Mark Briscoe's injury I figured I'd post this before I get to writing a newswire later. Here is everything from my perspective for what were some very scary moments.
Before I get to my story the update now is that Mark suffered a concussion and he will be ok. Right now he is questionable for 4/13 & 14, but he will definitely be good to go for the end of the month in St. Paul and Chicago.
First a little background. Mark has been sick basically since the UK trip. He was even in the hospital for a few days due to strep throat. So he was entering the match a little weaker than usual. He went for the SSP and didn't rotate all the way around. I was watching the match on the moniter in the back, which gets the hard cam feed. I jumped up as soon as I saw it and headed straight for ringside. I can't tell you what an awful feeling it is making that run to ringside not knowing what you are going to find.
I get there and Mark is laying on his back with a small puddle of blood around his head. His eyes are glazed over. Mark said his tongue and fingers were tingling. We had some medics there so Cary and I immediately ran to them in the back of the building.
When I got back to ringside Mark was able to move everything. I asked him where he was and he said "Chicago." He asked me what he did and I told him a SSP. He then said he could get back in the match. BJ Whitmer was down at ringside at this point and told him to stay there due to the head injury. Mark then asked me again what happened and what's going on. I told him again he did a SSP and the match is going on. He told me again he was ready to get back in the ring. I asked him if he remembered anything for the rest of the match and he said no. The medics got to him and while they were putting a neck brack on and getting him on a stretcher Mark kept insisting he could get back in the ring. While they were getting ready to take Mark out, Jay won the tag titles so I told him. He was in good spirits and relaxed.
Mark was given a catscan and tests and everything came up as good as possible. They kept him in the hospital just to be safe and for observation. I didn't get an update today, but he is with family now and they will drive him home when he's ready to go.
So basically the end result of this really scary accident is that Mark has a concussion and has to take it easy for a couple of weeks. We'll have updates in the newswire on if he can do 4/13 & 4/14 and his current status. Don't worry, he won't rush back and he will return only if he's 100% cleared and ready.
Jay & Mark Briscoe vs. Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin is official for 4/28 in Chicago.
