It’s not hard to name the best tag team match of 2022, but the hard part is deciding which of the three matches between FTR & The Briscoes was the best. At Supercard of Honor, Death Before Dishonor & Final Battle – we would see Jay & Mark Briscoe go to war with Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler in a series of escalating matches which all received critical acclaim. With the recent passing of Jay Briscoe in a tragic car crash, Dax Harwood would take a member to remember some behind the scenes moments from these matches – namely doing some shots before their Best 2 Out Of 3 Falls match.
Dax Harwood Recalls Sharing Shots With The Briscoes
Both teams knew they had a hard task at Death Before Dishonor 2022, having to top what many viewed as a perfect first match. To deal with those nerves, they would do a shot to get things moving in the right direction.
“Before the match, we were all scrambling our brains because we were worried, ‘what if we don’t deliver this time? What if we don’t match up what we did before? What if we don’t come close to matching up? That could be the end of our careers.’ We were all so worried. This was a couple of hours before the show. I said, ‘Hey, do you want to take a shot before the match? Maybe it’ll loosen us up and get our creative juices flowing.’ Mark and Jay are like, ‘Fuck yeah.’ They were like waiting for me to say it. As wrestlers, besides that one time, I’ve never ever had a drink before a match.
You don’t want to go in there and hurt your opponent or mess up, but the four of us were under the impression that we needed it, and we all had it, and we started talking and started feeling good. Jay says, ‘What if we take one more?’ They had never had Clase. ‘Okay, let’s do it.’ We take another drink, we’re sipping on it, we’re putting together what we think is a great match. We’re laughing and having fun. Someone speaks up and says, ‘Let’s do one more.’ We have 45 minutes to go. We gotta do one more. We did another one and by the time I realized it, we had drank half the bottle of Clase before the match. We were putting the match together, having fun, talking about our families, telling stories. Then we’d go back to the match, get out of it, laughing and having fun.”
