Ring Of Honor World Heavyweight Champion Jay Briscoe was a recent guest on The Chad Dukes Wrestling Show to promote the company's tours, as well as their 13th Anniversary pay-per-view event and discussed his gruesome shoulder injury, the success of ROH and independent wrestling stars on NXT, his thoughts on CM Punk joining the UFC and more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On his gruesome shoulder injury: "It was pretty nasty man, they said that they could have done surgery for it and drove a screw down, screwed the shoulder bone back into my arm, but they said I would've been out for a while, so I just kind of let it heal on its own and now I guess it is going to be popped up like this until I get it taken care of. It's not too bad, I've learned to live with it."
On the success of Ring of Honor and independent wrestling stars on WWE NXT: "I think it's awesome, you see people like Claudio (Cesaro) on TV. I mean, that's my friend, I'm watching my friend succeed on TV, it's cool being able to watch that. All the guys now in NXT seem like they're just blowing up, it just shows that what we're doing here in Ring of Honor, it's almost like a proving ground, if you can do your thing and you can succeed here, it pretty much proves that you can handle it, you've got what it takes."
On CM Punk joining UFC: "Punk's my boy and he's a determined dude if he puts his mind to something. I wish him all the luck in the world and I think he's going to surprise some people."
