Mark Briscoe believes someone above Tony Khan has booked his Ring of Honor World Championship match against Eddie Kingston in Philadelphia next month.
All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor star Mark Briscoe recently spoke with Mike Johnson of PWInsider. When asked about his shot at the ROH World Championship taking place on the 11-year anniversary of his brother Jay Briscoe winning the same championship, Mark believes God has been booking this moment.
“Amen. [I] said it to my wife and my friends about man, God’s booking this sh**, man,” Mark Briscoe said. “It’s crazy just how much of — it’s so much of a coincidence that it just don’t seem like a coincidence, like it’s crazy, man. Eleven years to the day and no one could have could have predicted or planned that.”
What the city of Philadelphia means to Mark Briscoe
When asked what it means to him to challenge Eddie Kingston for the title in Philadelphia, Briscoe said he couldn’t have asked for a more ideal opponent.
“It couldn’t be any more ideal as far as the opponent, it’s Eddie Kingston,” Mark Briscoe said. “Being a guy from the Northeast Indies and who’s well known, respected, loved in Philly. Then the city, we’re in Philly….me and my brother, we started in Wilmington, Delaware, which is pretty much a suburb of Philly, it’s the outskirts of Philly. So we pretty much started in Philly and Ring of Honor was born in Philly.
“Even before we started wrestling, the first show we ever went to was SummerSlam in Philly, and then we used to go to the ECW Arena, and that’s where we really fell in love with wrestling, and that was in South Philly, so we have more history with Philly than any other city.
“That makes it really cool, so we have the perfect opponent, we have the perfect location, and it just so happens to be 11 years to the day that my brother won the Ring of Honor World Title. It just all lines up, man. It’s crazy, like I said, God’s booking this sh**.”
