Nearly 22 years after making his Ring of Honor debut, Mark Briscoe can now call himself the promotion's World Champion.
Briscoe defeated Eddie Kingston in the main event of Friday's Supercard of Honor to win the title, his first major singles title in any company.
The win comes 11 years to the day after his late brother, Jay, won the ROH World title.
Briscoe, bloodied after getting his head rammed into the announcer's table, and Kingston had a wild affair as expected. The challenger picked up the win after hitting Kingston with a Jay Driller to get the clean pin.
Briscoe was mobbed in the ring afterward by family and longtime ROH roster members like Christopher Daniels, The Undisputed Kingdom, Dalton Castle, and plenty of others much to the joy of the Philadelphia fans that Briscoe has wrestled in front of so many times in the past.
Briscoe came out to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Back My Bullets," the long-time entrance song for The Briscoes tag team.
It's the latest title loss for Kingston who had entered 2024 as the first-ever Continental Crown holder with the ROH World title, NJPW Strong Openweight title and the inaugural AEW Continental Classic title. Kingston has just one of those belts left after losing the Continental title to Kazuchika Okada last month on Dynamite and the ROH title Friday.
