Jay wasn't used to doing publicity for upcoming shows. Yeah, he'd done a few interviews here and there, but nothing to the level that EBWF does to promote each show that they put out. But the new found media attention was beginning to bring Jay around to the hustle and bustle of being and EBWF superstar. While he was far from being chased down the road by screaming fans or charging $100 for his autograph, Jay had gotten recongnized a few times. About once a week he'd head "Man Up" while sitting at a red light or "Dem Boyz" while in the grocery store. Today, he found himself in a state of the art radio about to be interviewed in front of a live audience. When he arrived, the hosts introduced themselves and their producer. "This is the man with his finger on the censor button," they joked. Jay laughed it off. He sat on the opposite side of a table from the two hosts as the show went live on air.

DMac: Welcome back, this is 104.3 The Fan, Denvers #1 home for sports and today we have a special guest. As many of you know, The EBWF is in town for their Warfare show this coming Monday. The Kind Of The Ring Tournament is underway and it's down to what... 8 people?

Jay: 8 people, that's right.

Dmac: And you can hear right there we are joined by one of those people. Former ROH Champion and Indy Superstar, now making waves in the EBWF. This is Jay Briscoe. Jay, how ya doin?

Jay: I'm doing good man, thanks for having me.

Big Al: Thanks for being here man. Now, I gotta say the first thing I recognize is the accent. You're a long way from home, right?

Jay: I am. I ain't never been over on this side of the country before. But I'm enjoying it.

Dmac: You're from Delaware, right?

Jay: That's right! Sandry Fork God Damn'ed, Delaware.

A loud "bleep" was heard over Jay's cursing. Jay stops himself and covers his mouth.

Dmac: That's why we're on a 8 second delay, folks. The FCC is going to get their money's worth with today's show. Now, I am a pretty big wrestling fan. I haven't followed it as closely as most do, but I catch is when I can. I do know you, though. I followed you in ROH and I was very happy when I heard that you were coming to EBWF. What kind of a transition has it been, for you.

Jay: Well, for one thing I'm doing shows like this now. The only interviews I did back in ROH were a few backstage interviews in a tape recorder or a hand held camera. Nothing like this.. Man, this is fancy. I fell like Don Imus up in here.

Big Al: Uh oh, we have a censor button, but don't be getting us into Imus type trouble.

Jay: Oh, no. I ain't got a mouth big enough to put that kind of foot in.

Dmac: Al here isn't really a wrestling fan, can you..

Jay: Oh, you're not?

Al: No.

Jay: What do you like, football?

Al: That's my sport. I love football. Are you a football fan.

Jay: Hell yeah, Raiders man.

Dmac: That makes sense. Wrestling and a Raiders fan, so you like taking punishment it seems.

Jay: Oooo, lil bit. Maybe a lil bit. But the thing I always likes about The Raiders is they got the best talent they could. They always picked up the fastest and the biggest and the best athletes. That's what The Briscoes are, so i guess it kinda fits.

Dmac: Now, you mentioned The Briscoes, that being the tag team of you and your brother. Where is Mark?

Jay: Chicken? He's back in Sandy Fork taking care of the farm. Somebody has to work in our parts.

Dmac: Lets talk about that. You're a chicken farmer AND a wrestler?

Jay: That's right. Despite what you people in 'Merica think, we ain't all Millionaires. I still have to work.

Dmac: And you recently got into a twitter feud about this?

Jay: I wouldn't say it was a twitter fued only because I don't have time for a twitter fued. The other day, they were all fightin over the twitter with Paul Heyman and everybody and someone had said that they couldn't understand how I talk. Now, bear in mind, I didn't read this. I was out shoveling dog sh.... turds into the compose pile. I get home and a buddy of mine called me and he said "They talkin all this... beep... about you on the twitter. So I got on there and gave my little retort about this and I think it's over. Then Adam...

Dmac: Edge

Jay: Right, Edge gets on there and talks about how the reason I have to work is because I'm a bad wrestler. So I just let him know that not everyone gets into wrestling to make money and whatnot and that was pretty much it.

Dmac: Well, I have the exact tweet here. You said "@Edge Believe it or not, some people wrestle for more reasons than making money, dating divas, or buddying up with the CEO. #LoveTheBiz." Those are some strong words there.

Jay: I didn't think so. I know there are people who get into pro wrestling for the fame and to live the rockstar lifestyle, but that ain't me. I like to go out there and whoop ass... Can I say ass?

Big Al: You can say ass.

Jay: Whoop ass. That's what I do. And radio interviews, now.

Dmac: So, I don't think it's a coincidence that it was Edge who responded to you. Do you think he was just trying to build up yours and his match at Warfare?

Jay: I don't know if that was it. Some people have called it cheap heat, which I guess is what twitter is now. I don't know.

Dmac: The other big story on twitter has been the criticism of there being 7 established talent in the Kinf Of The Ring Quarterfinals, 6 of which are returning superstars. Do you think there is an validity to those accusations and, if so, how do you explain you being the only "new guy" in the mix?

Jay: Look, I don't know about the conspiracy theory that's going around. I'll say this: Is it a bit suspicious that everyone but me are vetrans of the EBWF? I think so. I think maybe Chris Jericho ain't too keen on some of the new guys or up and comers. I've been told that was always Wes' thing. But, I ain't really been around long enough to know how it usually runs. All I know is the other 7 people that are still in the tournament are pretty damn good. Was the plan to have those 7 and Miz in the finals, making it an all former world champ thing? I don't know. Did I spoil it, maybe? But, that's what happens when they put me in that situation. If they didn't want me to spoil their big vetran party, they shouldn't have put me in the tournament. But now that I am, I'm going to continue to spoil it by beating Wes's favorite wrestler on Warfare.

Dmac: Let's get right into that, then. Like we said before, you and Edge are squaring off to determine who goes to The Kinf Of The Ring pay per view as a semi-finalist. You're the new guy, Edge is the experienced veteran, how do you feel about your chances going into this?

Jay: I feel pretty good. Ya know, this whole tournament has had the odds stacked against me. I started off against The Miz, who's a former world champion. And then I had to take on Daniel Bryan, who can easily stake claim as being "The Best In The World" so I'm no stranger to fighting an uphill battle. Now I have Edge, who is also a former world champion so it'll be tough, but I think I can do it.

Big Al: You think, or you're sure?

Jay: No, I'm sure I can do it. I've been underestimated my whole career and I've been able to play it to my advantage.

Dmac: Both you and Edge are both well known for your tag team success. Edge claims to be one of the originators of tag team wrestling, how do you think your tag team career stacks up against his?

Jay: Well, I don't want to take anything away from Edge because he's been a hell of a tag team competitor over the years. But, I don't think you can say he is one of the originators of tag team wrestling. There have been tag teams as long as there has been wrestling. You have the original Briscos, the Hart Foundation, The Legion Of Doom, so on. Now, I will say that Edge did have a part of revolutionizing tag team wrestling, but he didn't go it alone. He had the Hardy Boyz and The Dudleyz, two of the greatest tag teams of all time, to help him out. And I feel that me and Chicken have taken what he and the others did and then took it to another level. He had TLC, we had ladder wars. So, I'm looking forward to one-upping him again in this tournament. Send him home to Trish with sour grapes.

Dmac: Now, wait a minute, Trish isn't with Edge anymore. It's been rumored that she's with AJ Styles now.

Jay: Man, y'all gonna get me in trouble with this, but who hasn't Trish been with. I mean, she went from Shane Helms to Edge and now to AJ Styles. She just likes to hitch her wagon to the brightest star. She'll probably go crawling over the Dean Ambrose pretty soon here.

Big Al: Or maybe you?

Jay: No, I'm a happily married man. We don't run around to different beds where I'm from. They raised us better.

Dmac: Back to the tag team subject, do you think that tag team wrestlers are held to a certain stigma because of their tag team success? Like, they couldn't get it done on their own?

Jay: I think so a little, but everyone has their stigma. You got to break free of that. But it will always follow you. Hell, Edge even brought it up himself with that promo he cut about Chris Sabin and how he just rode Allex Shelley's coat tails. When I heard that... whew I was suprised. Of all people to play that card, I'm suprised it was him that did it.

Dmac: What do you mean?

Jay: Well, look at Edge's career. Yeah, he's a 4 time tag team champion, but who were his partners? For 2 titles, you have Christian who's an 8 time World Champion. For the other 2 titles, you have Randy Orton, who is the longest reining world champ in company history. If he's going to point fingers at riding coat tails, he may want to look in the mirror first.

Dmac: So you're saying he didn't earn those titles?

Jay: No, I ain't sayin that. Don't be puttin words in my mouth. I'm just saying he should take a long hard look at himself before he critisizes someone else. What's that sayin? People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Well, we know that boy live in a big ass house, but the whole thing is made of glass.

Dmac: Now, we can say all we want about Edge, but truth be told he's a great entertainer.

Jay: Helluva entertainer.

Dmac: He has been involved in some of the biggest storylines and events in both WWE and EBWF history. He's won Slammy's and other awards and titles and he's credited as being one of the reason's The EBWF is the biggest wrestling business in the world.

Jay: That's true, and you know I am also credited for making ROH what it is today. It may not be the biggest business, but I think it has just as much talent as any other promotion in the country. And I helped build that. But I helped build ROH differently than Edge helped build EBWF. I built ROH by giving my all in the ring every damn night. I busted my rear and made sure that each time I went into that ring was the best I could do. Edge, on the other hand, he's a big company guy. He plays the storyline and does all the glamor work to promote EBWF as a brand and as entertainment. That's sports entertainment, that ain't wrestling. I wrestle. And yeah, I cut promos and entertain people because that's what I like to do, but I don't do it by wearing silly outfits or actin goofy out there for the camera. I never did nothin like The Dream team or thought up clevel names for my tag team like Rated RKO. That's not me. That's the Vinny Mac thing. Edge comes from that pedigree of wrestling where they become popular to get over. I come from the pedigree where we kick people's ass to get over. Now, I'm not taking away from Edge in the ring. He's a helluva competitor, too. He can go toe to toe with anyone but I just like a little less filler and a little more meat. It's like when you go to a fancy steakhouse and they give you all that bacon wrapping or sauces. To hell with all that, just give me the steak. It taste fine on its own.

Dmac: Some may say that your "pedigree" is a bit primitive and that Edge and Randy Orton have evolved past that.

Jay: I think in order to be evolved past something, you have to had first been that thing. Randy and Edge have never come up the way I have and haven't learned the hard lessons that I have. They're glorified actors who learned how to wrestler. I'm a wrestler who's now learnin how to entertain.

Dmac: Did you watch Rated RKO's promo for their tag title match at Aftermath? They made it sounds like they spend plenty of time in the indy promotions payin their dues.

Jay: Oh yeah, they'd like you to think that wouldn't they? Yeah, that promo was before I'd come here but I found it on the internet. They went to the old arena that Dean Ambrose used to wrestle at in the Indies and talked about it. I'm not sure exactly what they said, but....

Dmac: Well, I have a quote right here. This is in regards to Dean Ambrose: "Ten months ago, you were here, in this smelly dump playing for 50 people at $5 a head. Me and him were making millions a year, which equaled out to about $150,000 per appearance for eating chocolate cupcakes and you want to question my bleeping judgement?! Give me a break! Randy and I did our time in these bleep holes. We climbed the mountain. We both became EBWF World Champion! Then we both quietly stood back, and gave others time to shine. I went surfing. He got married."

Jay: You really do your homework. Gah... Where to begin on that. First off, they didn't do any time in any bleep hole. Yes, Edge wrestled around a bit in the indies of Canada, then went over to Japan for a bit, but that doesn't really count. What did he do while in those Canadian Indy promotions or over in Japan? Do you know? I don't?

Dmac: Actually, I did look at his wikipedia page and there are 2 small paragraphs on his indy career. He spent a few years in the Canadian promotions where he won the ICW/MWCW Tag Title with a Joe E Legend and then it says he went to Japan but does not mention any titles won there. And at the bottom is says he held the Canadian Wrestling Association North American Championship.

Jay: And I bet that was made of cardboard. But that just makes my point, he didn't spend any time in those types of arenas. And I just can't believe he tried to rope Randy Orton in on that statement either. That boy ain't never seen an indy lockerroom in his life. His daddy got him a shot at WWE developmental day 1. And that sure as hell don't count as no indies. And then they stand in front of an old arena and cut a promo about former indy wrestlers. Like that's original. I remember when Edge was part of his boy Reso's promo and burned down that damn Hammerstein Ballroom. That was clever then, but it's been done plenty of times now. Do a promo in front of a compost pile and say they're standing in front of Braden Walker, or something. That's a least new.

Dmac: But he's the Rated R Superstar, isn't he supposed to be edgy.

Jay: Dat, there.... exatly. He's the Rated R Superstar, but he's far from edge. The only thing he is now is outdated.

Dmac: How so?

Jay: That whole Rated R persona as a whole. It don't mean nothin now. It may have been cool back in 2006 when he first used that name, but not anymore. I rented Lethal Weapon the other day and didn't even have a problem with it. That movie has violence and cursing all over, but a 17 year old can go see it no problem. That movie has Gary Busey in it! Kids don't need to be exposed to that. It'll scar 'em for life. But apparently they show worse stuff on cable TV. They just take out the boobies and bleep out the f word. That's about the only difference between Rated R and cable: Boobies and F bomb. It's a damn shame.

Dmac: I think it fits his persona well.

Jay: I mean... kinda. But his persona ain't really nothin to be promotin anymore.

Big Al: What do you mean?

Jay: I taped a promo the other day that I'm going to put up on youtube. Watch that, and you'll know what I mean. I just need to finish editing it.

Dmac: You can't give us a little taste?

Jay: Naw man, I.... watch the promo. You'll enjoy it.

Dmac: Ok, then what about your thoughts on Edge's previous comment about you?

Jay: That twitter thing? I already...

Dmac: No, not the twitter thing. He may have fired the first bullet at you during his match promo against Chris Sabin.

Jay: I bet you have a quote, don't you?

Dmac: I sure do. "but did you say if I beat Sabin my next opponent will be either Bryan or Briscoe? I thought the tournament was supposed to get harder... not easier. That's my comment." Thoughts?

Jay: Yeah, I heard about that. And then shortly after, I heard he threw a hissy fit because he didn't like the ending to his match or something. But that right there shows you why Edge is constantly underachieving in his career because he never keeps his eye on the ball. Ya know, the road ahead of you is a lot less bumpy when you keep you eye on the road and not on the city 5 miles away. You like that? I just made it up. That's Edge's problem. He concerns himself with all these other things: women, parties, money, storylines, paychecks; and he never looks at the road that is directly in front of him. That's why he only held the World Title for a little over a month. He get's a little bit in this hand, then immediately tries to figure out what he can fit in the other.

Dmac: Ok, then I guess that brings me to my final question. Why do you think..

Jay: Know

Dmac: ....Know you're going to beat Edge on Warfare?

Jay: For the same reason I just said, he's distracted. I ain't got nothin else going on that's distractin me. Right now, until they make it differently, I have nothing to do with The Shield's little beef with Chris Jericho. I'm a happily married man. I don't have to worry about how much money I have in the bank account, because there isn't any. I just worry about one thing and that's whoopin Edge's ass in the ring on Monday.

Dmac: He's Jay Briscoe, ladies and gentlemen and he'll be wrestling Monday, June....

Jay had already tuned the man out. His focus was squarely on the job at hand. He was already mentall preparing for Monday's match against Edge and the ass whoopin he was going to give him.
