Tributes are pouring in from all over the wrestling world in response to the tragic news that Jay Briscoe, one-half of the current Ring Of Honor World Tag Team Champions, has died at the age of 38.
Briscoe died 38 days into his 13th reign as Ring Of Honor World Tag Team Champion alongside his brother Mark. On December 10th, the duo defeated FTR for the titles in a brutal Dog Collar match at ROH Final Battle to complete their classic trilogy.
Several wrestlers reacted to the news on Twitter, and here are some of their comments:

Jay Briscoe was one of the toughest men I ever had the privilege of sharing a ring with, as well as being a tremendous brother, father, and man. I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to know him and wrestle him as often as I did. Rest in Peace, Jay, I love you.#RIPJayBriscoe pic.twitter.com/6ZxNfgPcmw

I cannot even begin to process this right now. I loved everything about my friend Jay Briscoe. His passion. His drive. His presence. Our wars in the ring. Most importantly, how much he loved his family. I am literally sick to my stomach… pic.twitter.com/XNK5ZHlqxu
