It would kind of have to be really really soon, like before final documents on a sale could be signed.

WHOA! He said nothing about going to impact when talked with him not too long ago at a signing at a sports card show here. He was nice enough to talk with us and hang out for an hour since worked with his Uncle, met more of his family too last year.

Announcement of Jay Briscoe passing away today.

RIP to Jay.

I haven't watched The Briscoes since I gave up on ROH in 2012 but The Briscoes were an amazing tag team.

Friend just texted me this article and is buying into it. Sounds like 100% made up clickbait bullshit, but some might get a laugh:

Kayfabe News is definitely just a satire site.

I've always liked the part where Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman thought that the Montreal Screwjob was a work that was so compartmentalized that people in on the work didn't know about the other people who were in on the work.

Man. Another doesn't make it to 70. Let it never be forgotten that Lanny Poffo once defeated Hulk Hogan on national TV. RIP.

Great dude. Always wondered why he never ascended from bottom-mid card when his brother became a mega star. Capable worker and plenty decent on the mic (given the material he was given to work with).

I still remember as a kid WWF advertising a “weapons allowed” battle royal for a Pittsburgh house show and LP advertising that he’d show up in a full suit of medieval knight’s armor.

Edit to add: Check out what I found:

The way some people tell it, he only got as far as he did because his brother was a megastar. Made sure to take care of Lanny everywhere he went.

Lanny had the talent to be a bigger star, but being paid millions by WCW to not be Gorgeous George was probably better.

Saw messages about a tribute to Jerry on twitter and thought it was about Lawler's stroke, but it seems Jerry Jarrett has passed away.

What the ****, the wrestling curse seems to extend to family not even in the wrestling business.

Just in the last couple of months, Kevin Nash's son and now Arn Anderson's son have passed away. Both former wrestlers are among the Conrad family of podcasts too.

Awful. I can’t imagine the anguish of living through your kid’s death.

It’s the non-union Mexican equivalent of Vince.

Or perhaps the villain in a Mexican telenovela.

Vince worked so hard that he forgot to have his mid-life crisis until he was 80

Well that's... something.

I had to google to see if this was actually real.

I can only assume this was Vince's disguise when he snuck back into creative. It worked.

Probably thinks he's going to live to 150.

On one hand, he's a health nut, which is conducive to long life. On the other hand, he has probably taxed his heart with steroids along the way, so he probably shouldn't be around that much longer.

However, since he is both prominent and evil, that adds 5-10 years. He might still make 90+.
