This match was seen by fans as the best of the tournament, and seen in retrospect as having been responsible in large part for helping launch the brothers' careers, as they were new to the independent circuit and very young at the time. They were then matched against each other in the second round, with Jay winning and advancing further. At the inaugural Best of the Best event, a show somewhat atypical of CZW in that it is a tournament spotlighting athletic junior heavyweight wrestling as opposed to violent hardcore matches, the two advanced past the first round in a three-way match with Nick Mondo where the stipulation was whoever took the fall would be eliminated. Jay and Mark Briscoe made their debuts for Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) at Delaware Invasion on January 20, 2001, being brought in to job as part of a three-on-one handicap match against Trent Acid.

Professional wrestling career Combat Zone Wrestling (2001–2002, 2003) This led to the brothers debuting for ECWA on under the ring names "Jay and Mark Briscoe". While their mother, Jana, was in line to purchase tickets to attend a wrestling event, a promoter for the ECWA approached her and asked if her sons had a tape of themselves wrestling.

Their first foray into professional wrestling came with the East Coast Wrestling Association (ECWA), while they were still in high school. Despite the fact that their dad was a coach for their high school's wrestling team, they did not participate in amateur wrestling in their high school years. From the beginning, the two of them worked on honing their craft, taping their moves and trying to improve them. Originally, they practiced wrestling moves with one another on a trampoline before the family built a wrestling ring in their backyard. The brothers first became interested in wrestling in their youth by watching the World Wrestling Federation on one of the two channels their television could receive. At one point, both were signed to play for Wesley College (Delaware), a fact even used in wrestling storyline at one point, at ROH Beating the Odds, to explain an absence from which they were returning. As high schoolers, both received honorable mention All-State honors their junior and senior years for football, Jay as a fullback and a linebacker and Mark as a tight end and a linebacker. The Pugh brothers, Jamin (Jay) (born January 25, 1984) and Mark (born January 18, 1985) grew up in Laurel, Delaware.

They are known for their 19-year tenure with the American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH).
