Mark Briscoe is making the most out of his newfound fortune.
Briscoe, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, and Kevin Knight won an $400,000 Explosive eight-man tag team match on AEW Dynamite against Ricochet, The Beast Mortos, Lio Rush, and Action Andretti. The winning team was free to spend their share of the prize money how they saw fit, with Briscoe claiming that he would begin to diversify his portfolio.
After stating that his portfolio was nearly 80% diversified, Briscoe spent the weekend having a little bit of fun with his financial windfall. Mark Briscoe posted videos of himself doing with best “Fruit Ninja” interpretation at home. Fruit Ninja is an incredibly mobile game that allows players to “slice” various fruits open by swiping across their device’s screen, mimicking a ninja sword.
Briscoe, however, went out into his yard and used a real sword to chop a cantaloupe and a pineapple (with great precision!). In addition to being highly proficient at redneck kung-fu, it appears that Mark Briscoe is also an accomplished swordsman.

What is Mark Briscoe’s philosophy on redneck kung-fu?
Mark Briscoe has described his style as a very physical and psychological method to dealing with his opponents. He told K&S Wrestlefest that it’s such a flurry of offense that his opponents are “dizzy before I even touch them.”
“At the same time not only is it a physical attribute where you’re just getting barraged from here, from there, from everywhere, at the same time you’re hearing all these noises and you’re seeing all these crazy facial features and all this crazy movement. It’s also psychological, it’s like you don’t even want to fight no more,” Briscoe said (via Wrestling Inc). “The fast-paced flurry of different strikes is something that always connects with fans, due to being exciting to watch. Briscoe explained how he ensures the strikes come at his opponent from completely different angles and directions, and that causes just as much impact as the strikes themselves.
“You’re like, ‘Man, I’ve got this crazy man coming at me 100 miles per hour, and I don’t know what direction he’s coming, I don’t know what these noises are that he’s making,'” Briscoe added. “So, it’s physical and it’s psychological all wrapped into one. They’re dizzy before I even touch them, and then by the time I lay hands on them they’re beyond dizzy, they’re dizzy, they’re woozy.”
