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

[@dvelmont63]

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

[@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

[@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!!!

[@kelseyw52]

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

[@AfterDarkParanormal]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@mikeaveling5802]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@ClarissaLockett]

Cool. Can’t wait to watch. Thx

[@Mszahnclass95]

Jerry Lawler ,i remember had close call deaths of his own ,his son look alot like jerry .That is sad 😭 Rip Brian ..thank you for sharing this video with all of us Scott ✌️✌️ out

[@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 ❤💐

What they put their bodies through 300 plus nights a year takes a serious toll.

[@lorettathedoglady]

I used to follow wrestling in the 80's up until the late 90's. I had no idea he had past away. 😔 Thank you for the video, and stay safe!

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 ‼️❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sheilawynn8025]

You're a good man Scott. Your videos are amazing. You show such kindness and compassion in all your work.

[@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

[@user-ls6zo4vd6t]

When you mentioned Michigan, I started to smile. I’m from South Carolina, but have family in Mt. Clemens, Clinton Township and on 8 mile road. Close family. Be safe out in this crazy world and keep presenting us with great content.

[@richardnelson6037]

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

[@Sincityboyj]

He was fun to watch in WWE growing up! It was sad when I heard he died.

[@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

[@Pauls-World]

Hey Scott

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

And thank you so much for watching Teresa 😊

[@michaelpoore21]

Thanks Scott for doing this video. I'm from Kentucky and grew up watching CWA Memphis Memphis Wrestling with Jerry The King Lawler. He's my all time favorite along with Macho Man Randy Savage. I watched his son Brian Christopher in his dad's Promotion USWA in the 90s and he was an awesome talent. Great wrestler with alot of charisma. R.I.P. Brian Chrisopher Lawler.

[@CoreyHerman-cg9ct]

I just wanted to say thanks for taking us places most of us cannot travel to Scott. Also, I love the music you play. Much respect.

[@isabelltecaxco-yd3lw]

Love you Scott I'm watching you from Tucson Arizona. You are so respectful at what you do. God bless you and stay safe out there

[@LousFool]

Oh Scott, I thought I was the only one who would have thought the rocks were geese! So sweet of you to care about the goose.

[@NightRayvn84]

Hi Scott! New follower here! I absolutely enjoy your content. I've learned so much from your channel ❤

[@aaphotofilm]

Brilliant Scott i told you from day one anything to do with rappers and wrestling I'm a huge fan of and you deliver it well. We are around the same age I'm guessing so i can relate to alot of stuff you talk about in your videos. You are the king of vloggers

[@exploringwithskeggybaz7474]

I live in the u.k thanks for taking me along to all the fascinating places you visit ❤

[@joemoore8107]

Thanks for showing this video

[@Skunkape74]

Very sad story... Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@stevenb427]

RIP Brian Christopher Lawler. RIP Bray Wyatt ✌

[@racheld.1273]

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

[@kincaide67]

Because of you, I now know about this man - quite the interesting story - and my prayers and thoughts are sent out to his family and friends. Your subjects are quite varied and always interesting to watch. I've watched episodes where i know of whom you discuss and episodes where I have no idea of the subject before hand....and I've always walked away enlightened from learning something new in either case. Great job here, Scott. Of course I heard of Jerry, but not being a big wrestling fan, I never heard of his son. But....now I have and another person is remembered who may have gone on unknown to some. I've said it before, but thanx for what you do and how you do it. King of Class. Until the next one, be safe and take care, my Friend.

[@davecalderdalelufc8173]

Your my fav canadian/ American you tuber Scott. Loads of respect. Loves the fact you donated to our UK you tuber Paul from unusual things on his live stream. Stay safe Scott thank you 👍

[@brookejackson2900]

I loved Too Cool 😎 So Sad. RIP Brian Lawyer Thx for sharing Scott

[@mellel5594]

You are so respectful, Scott! Great video! 👍🏾 And I really think that you should set-up a meet 'n' greet next time you're in Toronto! I think it would be well attended! ✌🏾

[@angie6012]

My Grandma and her friends would go to the Mid-South Coliseum for Saturday Morning Westling to see Jerry Lawler, Junk Yard Dog!!! R.I.P. to Jerry Jr.❤

[@Oldfartstuff2.0]

I've never been to the first thumb guy

[@russellprice460]

Thanks!

[@CooteRJ_84]

I remember him when he was in Too Cool. Good video.

[@tomleggett4186]

Hi Steve this is Laura love the video and the story you tell about them

[@user-mx7ds5vr4r]

I love your KZbin presentations. You're a total pro my man. Love to meet you if you're in town

[@bradpeterson7957]

I've met Jerry a few times over the years. He was always nice to me. So was Brian's tag team partner Scotty. I was never able to meet Brian. But I always asked about him. R.I.P

[@leesashriber5097]

Never a big fan of wrestling but what seems to hurt the most is the fact that they leave us too soon from drugs and alcohol and bad decision making. It's never too late but you can get help and a fresh start. Thank you for another beautifully compiled memory. You, Scott, are a true class act. 🕊️❤️🙏

[@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.

[@ttally3573]

nice video.😀

[@esthergoulart3571]

So sad!! RIP Brian!! I remember him and Scotty too hottie!! So sad!! Gone too soon!! Thank you for the great video Scott as always!! Love you and all your videos!! Love you!! Poor goose!! I hope he’s ok!! Your a very sweet man!! Happy holidays!! 🙏🙏💙💙❤️❤️🎄🎄🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️😇😇😇😇💙🙏🙏🙏🎄🎄

[@kathylivedinthe80s14]

Now that terry funk has just passed I hope you can visit his grave one day. Love your videos Scott.

[@matthewparsons1064]

I’m from Clinton Township 😁I got excited when you mentioned that city

[@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.

[@jeffdemas9521]

Hey Scott, good to know you've read PWI. I did too.

[@Simmons213]

Thanks for taking me . A long Scott. Don't know much about wrestling. But I'm open to learning about this. Thank you for caring about the goose.❣️

[@Autumn_Forest_]

Wow. My brother was Brian Charles and died at the same age as Brian Christopher, just one month before Brian Christopher died. My brother’s death was also mysterious (Intentional? Accident?). My brother would be turning 52 tomorrow, August 30. Btw, he and I were/are huge animal lovers. Thank you for caring enough to check on that poor goose. You are a good man. ❤

[@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.

[@robbiedetroitstigermanviny8883]

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

[@jamesstephenson8789]

Great video as always..I agree with most everyone who says his death is odd but anyway great video

[@VeliusCoba]

"And if you cant visit here I am" Yep! Thank you Sir for that!!!

[@hadleycar]

I was born and raised in Memphis. Lived and worked in Bartlett for a few years before moving to florida. Such a sad story.

[@johnconway4161]

RIP

[@SplorinRyan]

A rare serious comment for me... Much respect on leaving the area whenever someone arrives to visit with their loved ones. I wish we saw more of that in our world.

[@frankhoward6645]

It's crazy to think that Brian Christopher has passed away I remember him being apart of 2cool with Scotty 2Hotty they were a awesome team Rest in Paradise Brian Christopher
