[@DinnerWithTheKing]

UPDATE: Jerry Lawler provides in-depth details surrounding the death of Brian Christopher Lawler. This is on Episode 64 of Dinner With The King. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZuyZnSelM2mjZY

[@a..c..2469]

I had no idea.. I hate that for the King.. but Brian was a great wrestler and the only person who got me to dance.. just a beautiful soul

[@stevelowe2647]

@@a..c..2469 Yeah I was 12 June 1999, so when Too Cool were getting over in January 2000 I used to boogie away & try TRY to do the worm. I remember I was about 14 disobeying the do not try this at home & went for Brian's top rope leg drop off the stage at school, about 4 foot if that, cracked my tail bone, & remember thinking Grandmaster was a prick for like 3 months after lol.. brilliant wrestler, seems like a brilliant guy when his demons weren't taking over

[@binko969]

Unbelievable interview/1st hand perspective. My heart hurts for the king. The man recounted his last conversation with his unconscious son laying on his death bed. I mean how candid can you possibly be. Thank you for this

[@garyelliott6879]

jerry is a disgrace of a father

[@DinnerWithTheKing]

Jerry appreciates all the support. Thank you.

[@themurph7780]

Dinner With The King Podcast Thank you Jerry and my condolences.

[@Zeitgeist997]

It's a very sad situation. The cop is sickening, there was no threat anymore if he was home.

[@ConnectTVUSA]

God bless you

[@pusanghalaw]

Heartfelt condolences to the King.

[@Zeitgeist997]

It feels to me like Brian was trying to get out of jail temporary like go to the hospital thinking that flirting with nurses is better than the hard guards and smelly inmates and figured they were watching him closer than they were and committed to those wrong ideas a little too much to where like many accidental hangings most recently David Carradine, he got in over his head and lost too much oxygen before the staff reacted.

[@mickeymojito]

God that ending, "If you got kids tell them you love them, I didn't do that enough with Brian." My heart sank.

[@fredflux2738]

How can you not have guilt as a parent, that’s gotta be rough.

[@bold810]

Yeah.... 😢😞😁😊😊🙏

[@secondpower993]

Heart is absolutely breaking for King. :(

[@diablo666541]

Brian Lawler as grand master sexay. Was a joke. And his Brian Christopher /too much stable was even more worse. Brian Lawler as heel was best thing he had goin. I saw promo as a heel and he nailed it. Brian was destined be a heel .n wwe made him look ridiculous. As gran master n Brian Christopher .

[@ErnestoMike]

​@diablo666541 everyone loved them you clown. Stop thinking you would have done something better.

[@solidsnake4214]

I met Brian a few months ago at a nightclub. My friend and I got to do the Too Cool dance with him on stage, he was one of the coolest guys I ever met.

[@IRONMANFAN2008]

Really?

[@ericaarchie9654]

That's awesome! He had swag!

[@diablo666541]

I liked him as heel in one southern promos he nailed it.

[@Stubbla]

ok Pinocchio

[@solidsnake4214]

@@Stubbla don’t believe me? There’s a video on KZbin of he and I dancing on stage. Give me a minute, i’ll get you the link

[@EscapeTheRules]

Such an emotional podcast, very brave of Jerry to even do this. Much love and support during this terrible time.

[@brycekirk5529]

Took alot of strength for Jerry to do this. RIP Brian, we all love you Jerry.

[@kayandaeddings4803]

No parent should bury their child at all. It should be the other way around. This made me cry hearing the king cry talking about Brian. My heart goes out to the whole family. Prayers going out to him and his family. Love you king. Rest in peace Brian Christopher lawler aka grandmaster sexay.

[@theestallion818]

What make ppl just take their life like is nothing is so precious and so short!

[@adu1991]

It should be the other way around? This is not the time or place to bring that up. You should know better.

[@the8ofustogether]

Kayanda Eddings my sister buried her 11-year-old now that’s a sad situation.

[@kayandaeddings4803]

My condolences go out to you and the family.The Ozzy Show that sucks. Especially for a young child to be buried by their parents. It should be the other way around.

[@kayandaeddings4803]

Mr. A yeah. That’s right.

[@thedukeofaaron]

The amount of courage and swallowing of pride it takes to be able to address the public so soon and be up front about the situation is one, among many reasons, why the veterans in this business will always be held in such a high regard. Truly one-of-a-kind and irreplaceable. God speed King and we wish you many years of health and happiness to continue to lead your court until God is ready for you to rejoin your son.

[@phantasmwolvez4095]

I just wanna give my deepest condolences to the entire Lawler family. I've always enjoyed those moments during attitude era when Jerry commentates during Too Cool's matches especially how Jerry says Grandmaster Sexay. No one can replicate what Brian has done for the business of wrestling as equally towards to the King. GrandmasterForever

[@bold810]

👍👍👍🤙

[@azure1259]

I remember Too Cool getting a HUGE crowd reaction back in 2000 or so and you could hear how genuinely proud and delighted Jerry was, saying something like "They've danced their way into the hearts of these fans!" You could tell that was a real moment of paternal pride. Very sorry for your loss.

[@drewfoster5030]

Jerry, I lost a close loved one last week and it has been the lowest week of my life. I feel like I'm in a bad nightmare too and cant believe what has happened. I thank you for having the courage to sharing your story because it's harder than people realize. Fighting back tears while pretending to be okay is so hard. In time to your heart will heal and be able to focus on the great memories of your son rather than the tough ones. You will grow stronger and have so many people pulling for you. But just know you're not alone.

[@BrandonCarder]

Can't stop hurting for Jerry and his family. The King is such a strong person to come on the podcast and let it all out.

[@unclenieceshow307]

Hi Jerry Lawler this is Orlando Thompson a big fan for years I love wrestling everything about it and you are a great Hall of Famer I send my condolences to you and your family and may Brian Christopher Rest In Pieces and thank you 4 all of your time when you was wrestling and on a WWE Network

[@SmedleyButlerIII]

Jerry, I didn't get to spend much time with my father before he passed when I was young, but what I do remember... are the times when my mom would be in Little Rock a few days for her job...he would actually let me watch Raw in the living room with him! on the big screen. When she was around he would claim it's silly and not what it used to be....but I'll never forget him laughing his butt off, every time, at the stuff you would say! I was too young to understand a lot of it yet, but now that I'm older....I look back and realize ...YOU WERE raw is war! and you always will be. You have an army of folks behind you, and will not let you get through this alone. We love you buddy.

[@TheSportsCourier]

So sorry, King. No family should ever have to go through this. We send you love, strength, and faith.

[@tdb514]

I actually cried my eyes out listening to this. To hear Jerry in this much pain would brake anyone's heart, I send all my heart out to his family.

[@angelone1839]

Nice for the Rock to take time out of his busy day to call Jerry and give his condolences. I read the post he shared and i never knew him and Bryan were that close. It sucks to lose a friend especially when you don't know the full story of what happened yet.

[@joeblows4694]

Very sorry for your loss mr. Lawler. Brian will be missed.

[@frankcatalanotto149]

Rest in peace Brian. I pray for you King. It took incredible strength to share your story with all of us. Thank you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jerry and the entire Lawler family and Brian’s friends. Godspeed! 🙏🏼

Thanks for coming back from hell to tell us that Billy Mays

[@christianedwards4476]

You think it's funny to have an icon from a man who is dead and then wish a father who has lost his son Godspeed? So insensitive. I know you may not be thinking this out but it's really in bad taste.

[@carrie-lynnstjohn3739]

Soo sad Nothing but love for Jerry his wife ..his ex and his other son and the whole family and friends RIP so heartbreaking ...Thank you Jerry for sharing Must of been so hard...I could never Imagine Losing a child :(

[@roberthuffert4044]

To hear the anguish in your voice really brings it home. No parent should ever bury their child. RiP Brian Lawler

[@lionheart1867]

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, King. I just lost my brother this past February, he was only 43, and it was devastating to me and my family. I too lost my Dad when I was 19 and that was tough, as well. A lot of people are praying for you and your family.

Rip to him and sup joe

[@saturdaymorningcheapseats3281]

i always thought Brian was a really underrated worker, and deserved a much bigger push than he got

[@jkdecker73]

Saturday Morning Cheap Seats i agree 100 percent. He would have been a great great heel in any organization. That laugh and facial mannerisms.

[@medes5597]

Vince trusted Brian a lot in the ring by all accounts. Him and X-Pac were the go to guys for getting good matches out of new workers. The only reason he didn't get a bigger push was they couldn't trust him outside the ring with his drinking and drug use. Which is such a shame. A great worker who just couldn't get past his demons.

[@MrDivalover1]

@Jason decker he brian should had run as wwf light-heavyweight champion in his feud with taka over light-heavyweight title in 1997/98 attitude era.

I’m 44 and you were my super hero of 80s ! I thought I was cool because my name was Jerry! Several times I snuck in fairgrounds to see you as a child! I remember someone throwing hot coffee on you during a Dundee match! It’s rough hearing my hero down! But god will carry you! Love ya boss man!!

Hard hearing Jerry like this. Like all fans I've always seen him as the fun loving King, never emotional and always smiling. To hear this side of him, I know the pain is very great. It's to be expected after losing a son obviously. I just felt so bad for him while listening. All of us pulling for the family right now.

Praying for the Lawler family. As a father and fan I had tears hearing this podcast.

[@graffmatical156]

I lost my brother 8 years ago and he was also my best friend. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever went through and my parents have never been the same since. I was going through the hardest point of my life and I just kept thinking about how hard it must be for my parents. I feel for you jerry I haven’t lost a child but have seen first hand what it’s like.

[@ZZ-rc1yw]

Such a shame we all die in the end. Life is so fucking awful and beautiful I wish there could be a way to bring them back or at least stop aging or reversing it so we don't die so soon

Sorry for your loss King. My deepest condolences and I wish you nothing but the best.

King you and your entire family are in our prayers. I grew up on USWA And Brian was my childhood hero. Then having him move to my hometown a few years back was awesome. I have had the opportunity to meet you and Brian many times. He will Truely be missed. My condolences to you and the whole Lawler family.

[@Transitfan93]

Just finished listening to this on ITunes and this is a hard episode to listen to, very sad to hear a parent talk about burying his son

This breaks my heart hearing the king like this. We love you KING my prayers and condolences are with you and your family during this heartbreaking time. RIP GRANDMASTER

[@josephedwards8604]

Sorry for your loss. May you and your family find peace.

[@angiegarcia5489]

After hearing this podcast, if you Jerry or anybody close to Jerry reads my comment, just wanna let Jerry know that even though just like he said at the very end of this podcast that he never got to say I love you enough to Brian, Jerry just know that he's hearing and watching you from above and deep down in his heart he knows and have always known how much you love him and how much he loved you. We're all with you Jerry during this difficult time in your life, Brian just like many others will never be forgotten. We love you both, and my thoughts and prayers are always with you and your beautiful family Jerry. 💖💖💖💖💖

[@ryandesain5090]

My heart aches for your family Mr. Lawler. Thank you for opening your heart to your fans and giving us all a little closure. It means so much to the fans that grew up watching and loving Brian.

[@aaronhoward957]

Brian was one of a kind! The only time that Brian was ever early in his life he was with me. We traveled to Mississippi for a date and no one was there. Brian called the King to find out from the promoter what was going on. Jerry Lawler called back and said we were in the right place but a month early. That’s a memory that I’ll never forget among many many others!! My heart goes out to Ms Kay, Jerry, Kevin, Blake, and Brian’s youngest brother, all other family friends, and fans. May the Holy Spirit comfort each one touched by this.

[@AnotherPilot1]

So sorry, King...my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

[@barryweishaus1696]

who are the 6 heartless people who would give this a thumbs down?

[@Scorne9000]

Let's not jump to conclusions. The thumbs down easily could be because a person died and not because they are heartless.

[@georgewilliams1470]

God bless you Jerry, May he give you the strength to get thru this

[@guitarslinger91]

I will continue to keep Jerry and the rest of the family and friends in my thoughts and prayers. Brian was one of the nicest wrestlers I have ever met. I've been a wrestling fan most of my life. I have seen him on TV and quiet a few times at some wrestling shows here in Mississippi. There was one instance where there was a meet and greet with with Brian and 2 other well known wrestling stars, the other 2 weren't friendly to me at all and shrugged me off, but Brian was so friendly. He was smiling, shook my hand and talked to me for a minute. That has always stuck with me and I will never forget it. RIP Brian. Thanks for the memories.

[@danberger3593]

Please accept my deepest condolences. I am very sorry for your loss.

[@samsonlovesyou]

Love to Brian's family. I was in my early teens when Too Cool were at their peak, and I was glued to the screen every time they were on. They had channel-changing magnetism for me even in an era filled with stars, and I always popped for Brian's goggles coming down for the leg drop. Did many good memories xxx

I did a show with Jerry and Brian earlier this year in Cleveland Tn of all places......I talked briefly with Brian and got the vibe that he was just a good dude....and i watched Jerry and Brian and they had sorta of the same relationship me and my dad had.....I didnt think this one would hurt as much for just meeting somebody once.....

So sorry to hear about this Jerry. You and your son have entertained us throughout the years, countless of times.

[@reclusiveperson9409]

I’m so sorry for Jerry and the Lawler family. I couldn’t imagine the pain of burying your child. My heart aches for Jerry. When Jerry cried telling the story about his son’s final moments and holding his hands I cried. How tragic and sad. No parent should have to endure this.

Heartbreaking. Jerry Lawler was in the first match I ever saw live at The Sportatoreum in Dallas losing to Superstar Bill Dundee. Followed him through Memphis, WWF(E). Followed him for so long. I can’t imagine losing one of my kids. 😢💔. I haven’t felt this upset about a death of a wrestling family member since Jan Ross.

[@GeoNeilUK]

4:15, that the point where I start tearing up. As Jerry said, no parent should ever have to bury their child.
