JNPO: Pro wrestling year in review – Jay Briscoe’s passing, Vince McMahon’s return

JNPO: Pro wrestling year in review – Jay Briscoe’s passing, Vince McMahon’s return

The yearly tradition of the JNPO pro wrestling year in review series has returned: a month-by-month look at nearly everything that happened in 2023.

As you might expect, it kicks off with January with my special guest co-host Andrew Thompson of POST Wrestling.

It was a month of tragedy with the unexpected passing of Jay Briscoe in a car accident which rocked the wrestling world. 

It was a month of surprise as Vince McMahon forced his way back into WWE to facilitate a sale of the company. It would be the most newsworthy year in company history and it all began this month.

Other topics:

  • The road to WrestleMania began with Royal Rumble wins by Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley
  • Raw XXX
  • The beginning of Adam Cole’s return to AEW
  • The surprise end of Mickie James’ “Last Rodeo” in Impact Wrestling in a title vs. career match
  • Kenny Omega defeating Will Ospreay at a newsworthy WrestleKingdom
  • The Great Muta’s retirement tour finally began to wind down
  • Chris Jericho made his surprise PWG debut…and lots more.
