There are only a handful of brother teams in the history of wrestling that have gone on to be both successful as a team and individually, and I don’t know that any have had the pedigree of the Brisco Brothers, Gerald and Jack. Jack was the first Native American to win the NCAA Wrestling tournament, then went on to hold numerous titles including the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Gerald was also a stand-out amateur wrestler, then held many solo titles himself, most notably the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship. Together, they are renowned for their abilities as a tag team, where they held the tag gold and tore the house down at the first Starrcade against Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood.

Both are also very well-known for their work outside of the ring and for being stand-up guys.
