The history of the Briscoe Brothers in professional wrestling runs very deep, and I will never forget all the times I watched them on Ring of Honor Wrestling, which was seen locally every Saturday night at 11pm on the local TV 48 station, owned and operated by Sinclair Broadcasting…They would often show repeats of the program back again, on Sunday nights…
Ring of Honor was the staple of Free TV Wrestling on TV 48, for many years…
