Brian Christopher Lawler (January 10, 1972 - July 29, 2018) was an American professional wrestler. He was the son of color commentator and professional wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawler and brother of wrestling referee Kevin Christian. He was well known for his career in World Wrestling Entertainment, where he performed as Grand Master Sexay as one-half of the tag team Too Cool with Scotty 2 Hotty.
Lawler began his career as one half of the masked tag team "The Twilight Zone" with Tony Williams under the individual ring names of Nebula (Lawler) and Quasar (Williams). They both soon unmasked, Brian continued to wrestle in the United States Wrestling Association under the name "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher. He was used as a top fan favorite as well as making his mark as one of the promotion's top villains. There, he feuded with wrestlers such as Jeff Jarrett, Bill Dundee, Tom Prichard, and the Moondogs, and even his father Jerry Lawler (though he was never revealed to be Lawler's son while in the USWA, in 1999, fellow Power Pro Wrestling wrestler Doug Gilbert broke kayfabe and admitted it during a shoot interview). Among his partners were Tony Williams (as the New Kids), Doug Gilbert, Scotty Flamingo, and "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert.
Brian joined the World Wrestling Federation in 1997, still known as Brian Christopher, and began to compete in the fledgling light heavyweight division. Taka Michinoku defeated him in the finals of a tournament for the Light Heavyweight Championship. In mid-1998, he started teaming up with Scott "Too Hot" Taylor to form the tag team of Too Much. For a while, he and Scott Taylor played up a quasi-homosexual angle that involved them speeding around on scooters/mopeds and culminated with Too Much riding off on the back of the Disciples of Apocalypse's motorcycles.
For a while, when Brian was known as Brian Christopher, his father Jerry Lawler would talk him up as being superior to all the other Light Heavyweights but never publicly acknowledge that Brian was his son, although after Paul Heyman revealed that fact on RAW, Jim Ross (Jerry's broadcast partner) always hinted at it. A notable example of this was during the Light Heavyweight Championship match at Judgement Day 1998 between Taka Michinoku and Christian, when Jerry Lawler reveals that he wants to see more of Brian Christopher - to which Ross replies "Haven't you got some baby photos?".
In late 1999, Brian and Scott adopted the ring names Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty, returning after a hiatus, and later becoming faces. Their tag team was renamed Too Cool, and were later joined by Rikishi, becoming three of the company's top fan favorites. They enjoyed an immensely popular run as Too Cool, as well as success in the tag team division, defeating Edge and Christian in May 2000 on Raw to become the Tag Team Champions. While Scotty was sidelined in 2001 with a broken ankle, Lawler formed a short-lived tag team with Steve Blackman and was later released from the company for illegally conveying drugs across the Canada-United States border.
Lawler was arrested in February 2009 for disorderly conduct. On June 26, 2009, he was arrested for public intoxication just before 3 a.m. According to the police report, he "became very belligerent" once in custody and threatened the police officer who arrested him.On July 13, 2009, he was jailed for 30 days after failing to attend an in-patient treatment center as part of his plea agreement.
Around 1 a.m. EST on July 7, 2018, Lawler was again jailed for driving under the influence, and for evading police. On the early morning of July 29, 2018, Lawler was found hanging in a cell at the Hardeman County Jail and was observed to be brain dead. His life support was disabled a few hours after his father Jerry Lawler had arrived to the hospital to see him. Lawler was pronounced dead at around 4:40 p.m. EST at the age of 46.
On the one year anniversary of his death, Jerry Lawler filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Hardeman County, Hardeman County Sheriff John Doolen, and others for allegedly failing to protect Lawler. He alleged that Doolen had personally promised to "keep an eye" on Lawler after he was incarcerated. At his funeral, a little red wagon that he used to carry his numerous title belts to the ring in his USWA days was present, in memorial to the career of a decorated, respected, and well-liked wrestler.
Lawler is buried at Memphis Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens in Bartlett, Tennessee.

Jerry is a good friend of mine. I played softball with him for years. I was actually at Brian’s funeral

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Oh wow that’s incredible. Hope Jerry has found peace

[@tommylee9018]

My condolences to you and his family

[@NatalieUnsworth]

Bullshit.

R.I.P Brian Christopher aka Grand Master Sexy 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@chrishawkins32014]

I remember this when it happened. I was floored. RIP Brian. You are missed. Thank you, Scott. Loved Too Cool.

Much love and respect to you Scott for taking us to see these graves where we can’t ❤

[@gnrfan247]

My sons are huge wrestling fans! We’ve been watching wrestling since the 80’s. Like I said we knew the Harts. Great video Scott and thank you for always leaving rocks on the graves. He died on my birthday, July 29th. Take care Scott. Debbie from Calgary

[@kelseyw52]

Jerry Lawler is my cousin! Thank you for doing a video on Brian Christopher ❤ it means a lot to our family

[@sydneysomer9958]

Yeah, poor Dad Jerry Lawler is not in the best of health after a stroke. I live in Memphis, close to Bartlett and Jerry Lawler is a HUGE hometown hero around here!!!

[@Stephanie_S_777]

Your compassion for the goose was beautiful. Loved the video✌️

[@stevenb427]

RIP Brian Christopher Lawler. RIP Bray Wyatt ✌

[@superiorwoman2]

I hope you do one on Bray Wyatt somewhere down the road I know it's too soon for him because he just left us .

[@christophereskridge1]

Too early for that we fans not ready to see that

[@alliekuma4234]

I always loved Grand Master Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty coming out together. I was definitely really surprised to actually recently learn that he not only was King's son, but had unfortunately passed away as well. I definitely feel the Clinton Township vibes in that area. Thanks for doing such an informative and respectful video.

[@tormmac]

yeah it's impressive he took a somewhat difficult gimmick to get over with instead of name riding

[@mikeaveling5802]

Sometimes wrestlers have such a tragic, tragic outcome rest in peace ✌️

[@teresaavery6984]

Brian Christopher was one of the nicest people that I have ever met . So loving and kind to everyone he spoke with . So sweet and very much missed deeply

[@chadmears136]

RIP Brian 😢❤ Soo sad i grew up watching his Father wrestle and him with Scotty 2 Hotty in the late 90's. Thank you Scott for sharing this sad story. God Bless The Lawler Family.

[@fuzzamajumula]

I hope his father wins his suit. Jails are horrible. Prisons are even worse. They treat inmates terribly, even if they haven't been convicted. They get away with it by saying that everyone is treated the same, they don't have enough funding, the guards work too much, etc. They have a variety of excuses, but they never do anything to improve conditions.

[@jbone1014]

It was always very entertaining to watch the Grand Master & Scotty. This is so heartbreaking, ending up in dark places can take you to drastic measures. My condolences to the Lawler family. I’m very, very sorry for this very big loss. May God Bless you all & protect you.

[@mikesharp8653]

He had so many struggles in life for sure. I wasn't aware of how he died. Thanks, Scott, for telling it how it really was. Thats why I follow you.

[@Whittdocs]

I actually got to see Brian Christopher at an event not too long before his passing. And he was fabulous that night. He played to the crowd and had me laughing. Hated to hear of his passing. Thanks for another great video, Scott.

[@flocosta]

I just feel like the wrestling world has had an overabundance of untimely and devastating deaths, whether it be the wrestlers themselves or their loved ones. A very sad story but you handled it with such grace and compassion. It's just sad to especially see someone so young and vibrant leave this world. I hope his family has learned how to cope with such a tragedy. RIP Brain. Gone too soon ❤💐

Bray Wyatt recently passed you should do a video for him

[@mrbgladney71]

[@mwroberts79]

With all respect to the Lawler family, I don’t necessarily agree with the lawsuit. At some point you have to accept responsibility and accountability. For a county jail (which arrests all types) to provide special treatment for someone with drugs & alcohol problems and to blame them for his suicide seems like you’re deflecting responsibility. If you want to kill yourself, you’ll find a way. If you want access to drugs, you’ll find a way. Also, the jails don’t have the staffing to provide 1:1 treatment. They have to treat everyone as fairly as possible.

[@ARTWV]

Hi Scott, it’s really sad with these young guys passing away. That wrestling schedule is or was insane and nearly impossible to do without some assistance. I remember when Jerry had that heart attack on tv. God Bless

[@blast4me754]

I faithfully stopped watching wrestling around the time Chris Benoit died and every once in a while I'll watch it. I always find it depressing because so many wrestlers have passed now. In fact it's kind of lonely to watch. Maybe the WWE is just the mirror of the world and everybody really is passing away.

[@suz871]

I was never a wrestling fan but every one of your videos about wrestlers are always so interesting. I like how you cover so thoroughly their personal lives as well as professional.

[@Autumn_Forest_]

Same!!

[@crystallina2920]

I know right? I agree. I absolutely love Scott's videos. That Andre the giant video was so amazing covered beautifully.

[@sonnycook5346]

Thank you Scott, I appreciate your compassion towards the grieving lady. What do you think about the new scann codes their starting to place on grave sights?

[@Mike_Fahmy]

RIP Brian Christopher Lawler 🙏🕊️

[@marshawalker2832]

Please please please tell me that you filled this a while ago and are just posting it! My family is friends with the Lawler's and I'll be so sad if you were in Memphis and I didn't get to meet you! Son of a Biscuit Eater!!!

[@Retro-2-now]

The marks probably didn’t go all the way around is because all the pressure is going to be on the throat and sides of the neck. It’s just physics.

[@JillDials]

I have been watching wrestling since I can remember. I am 37 years old. Just to clarify I love all your videos but your ones involving pro wrestling and pro wrestlers are my ultimate favorites.

[@dianewood15]

Very sad Thanks for sharing Scott I really enjoyed watching the wrestling but haven’t heard of him May he RIP

[@robbiedetroitstigermanviny8883]

Can you do a story about the wrestler The Big Jim Danger one day. Great video!

[@roknrolbilly]

HEY! SCOTT!!! today is michael jacksons birthday august 29th 1958... same as mine! im 65 today!

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

[@eviedevet2172]

This very sad. I don't know them,but it's a great video. Thanks Scott for telling the story May Jerry and Brian rest in peace 💞

[@richardnelson6037]

When I think of Memphis I think of Elvis ,Jerry Lawler,and Andy Kaufman. RIP Brian.

[@PaulMoss-ev5hh]

Love you too 😘 💓 💖

[@roypeters1545]

That Bolivar jail has had a few suspicious deaths a friend of mine died "fish boy" died in there and I believe they were sued for wrongful death then

He killed his self sad but true rest up lawyer jr,!!

[@Miss_Loving]

Aww bless the Canadian geese heart. So sweet of Scott to look after him. ❤️

[@hollis684]

Man he left way too soon. A lot of them have. I have been a wrestling fan since the 80's. Each death is like breaking news to me. Even though ive never take n a bump in my life...i have much love and respect for those ppl in the business..and much respect for the business itself. It maybe predetermined..but the bumps they take and dues paid for our "entertainment" are no joke. Behind the characters are real ppl.. Great job as always sir..keep doing what you're doing. I wish i could..so im grateful you're out there

[@1SeanBond]

Appreciate the view! A excellent job, we sure learned alot in this vlog appreciate you taking us along with you Scott! Luv&Peace Cheers to continued success friend!🙂✌🏼👍🏼

[@SuperDrJeckyl]

I used to see him all the time here in Nashville, TN when the Memphis Wrestling made their Saturday night rounds. He was very entertaining, but kind of thin skinned. He made a great heel. People have no idea how great the old Memphis wrestling was.

[@jamestakacs]

In McMahon's world, the drugs always win.

[@afrodesiac8064]

That's wrestling in general. Regardless of all the dumb or mean things Vince has done or had others do, he's hardly to blame for everyone's drug use.

[@richardnelson6037]

He uses you up and then he’s done with you.

[@roxannemoser]

​@afrodesiac8064 so, what about Owen Hart

[@corybowman9583]

Yeah...because Vince held a gun to wrestlers heads forcing them to take drugs. 😂🤣😅

[@corybowman9583]

@@roxannemoser Owen didn't die from drugs. Dumb dumb.

[@racheld.1273]

Thank you so much for ur love of people and animals. You are so nice. Love your videos

I love the videos on these wrestlers thank you Scott❤

[@roxannemoser]

The death of Owen Hart was tragic

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi Scott 🙋🏽. Even though I didn't know this guy personally it's still really Sad when someone passes away. Thank you Scott for inviting me to watch your video. Have a wonderful day ‼️❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@corybowman9583]

Some of you need to do your homework on the life and career of Brian Christopher. Unfortunately he had drug issues most of his later years. Several wrestlers that knew Brian personally have said the same thing. It's unfortunate he died no matter how it happened. Listen to shoot interviews by other wrestlers talking about him and his death. Very interesting to listen to.

[@tonisargent4695]

why dosent he have a better grave if they had money

[@rethabyrum2605]

Thank you for this video. A lot of these wrestlers have very sad stories.

I had NO idea the King lost his Son. Bless you brother, i understand the brutal HEARTBREAK you've got to go through, NO... parent Should EVER have to Bury the Children.

[@tommylee9018]

I've shared the locker room 4 times and talked with Brian several times and always found him to be very nice and very friendly . A true professional he made Donnie prime time look very good in that last match being a veteran in the ring that the sign of a true professional . Let me also say that the drug problems were for pain relief not for pleasure . If your not a wrestler you'll never understand.

[@roxannenoel4065]

I know Brian passed away in 2018 but (please forgive me), can anybody explain what are those patches of yellowish/tan sections around his grave site? And it's not just Brian's I see it around the other's graves. Ty

[@MediCali951]

I still remember that NXT comeback!! Back when NXT was good. Jerry has gone through a lot even died once already. RIP Brian

[@ChrisHughes-q1v]

No bro. He didn't kill himself, he was murdered. And the truth never ever stays hidden. It will always come to the light, ask Vince. Miss you Brian.
