What if we get the Briscoes?  C'mon The Briscoes are the top team in wrestling today, they HAVE to be strong! I'm pretty sure Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black would say different.  |

Not at the level of the Roadies, Midnights, Kangaroos or any of the really top fight teams, but pretty decent. Of course, their cards would have to be drawn up so that they would suck in singles competition. |

Of course, their cards would have to be drawn up so that they would suck in singles competition. The Briscoes have primarily worked ROH and other indy promotions up to this point in their careers. Now, I'm not one to say that having wrestled in WWE is the only thing that counts, but there is a difference between being an ROH star and a WWE star. They would be a decent team, but not too strong. I agree with the idea that in singles they should be very weak. The Briscoes aren't signed officially though, are they? The hard part with a set of indy wrestlers like this is that most of the guys haven't reached their peak yet. Who knows what levels of stardom they could reach? I look forward to seeing what Knapik comes up with. |

The hard part with a set of indy wrestlers like this is that most of the guys haven't reached their peak yet. Who knows what levels of stardom they could reach? I look forward to seeing what Knapik comes up with. Well The Briscoes are more than just some indy tag team. Aside from the 4 Ring of Honor tag title reigns (and ROH is certainly not just another indy fed), they've also been NOAH's GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions. They won the titles in their first match in Japan, something that is unheard of. They've defeated international competition from Dragon Gate and NOAH in Japan. They've headlined pay-per-views. Like Joe said, they wouldn't be on the level of the big guys, but I could see them being slightly stronger than the Killer Bs. And The Briscoes would IMO definitely be the exception as far as indy guys go. As singles wrestlers Jay would be mediocre (he does regularly gets title shots) while Mark would be a fish out of water. From what I've worked on so far, the bigger guys look to be around where the ECW guys are as far as strength goes. And no, The Briscoes are not signed :/ |

They won the titles in their first match in Japan, something that is unheard of. The only other times I can think of are Salman Hashminokov (sp?) defeating Vader for the IWGP belt and Hase winning the IWGP Jr. title in their first matches. I want to say The Road Warriors won the All Japan International belts in their first match over there, but I could be wrong. And no, The Briscoes are not signed :/ Hopefully someday.  |

Concerning the title win in their first match, I was just going off what I read. The internet |

Is anyone willing to reveal any information about the future of Indy LOW releases after Legends of the Future? Could there be a Legends of the Future 2? Will we continue to see quarterly releases even without ICP?
Suckas gotta know.
