Brian Christopher dead at age 46 after hanging himself in jail
Owen, as a boxer of women how do you feel about this situation.

Brian Christopher dead at age 46 after hanging himself in jail
Jesus Christ what a waste of talent. Brian could have been a main event star. Unreal. His life really spiraled out of control this past year
|
I haven't read any news saying that he's dead, just hospitalised. :-\
|
Looks like sources have started to confirm it.
|
And now Brickhouse Brown has just died (for real this time)
|
Don't they usually take stuff you could hang yourself with (belts, shoe laces etc) off you before putting you in the cell?
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yVR-ajThXcM?start=69" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> His final wwe appearance, don't think most of the crowd had a clue who he was. :nono: |
I'm sure they do but I can only assume that he hung himself with his bed sheets.
That's the only thing I can think of that you can hang yourself with that they let you keep in your cell. |
FAKE NEWS

3 in a day is crazy

Meltzer,,,,, confirmed it. Damn.
|
Wait, TMZ is saying he's on life support. FAKE NEWS
|
Bobby Jaggers is still dead though. RIP
|
2 sites saying Christopher is on life support still.
|
Gertner has no journalistic integrity.
|
Gertner is the most trusted name in wrestling news.
|
Death comes in threes :(
Nicholai Volkoff is also confirmed. |
It's being reported that it's probably one of the CO's or Ariyan's hung Christopher and staged it as a suicide
|
Source?
That sounds like salacious conjecture. |
Really sad about this one. Too Cool were great, but I loved Too Much. Gertner said it in the op, and don't think it is much of a stretch, this guy had it. He could do funny, he could do intense, he could do sympathetic face, but like his dad, I think he was best as a heel. Too Much were just so cringey and easy to hate. Definately underrated, although people tend to go overboard when someone dies, I think it's a massive 'what could have been' with Brian Christopher.
It's sad he was so troubled and hope he is at peace now |
Great talent. Great guy. Always had time to talk.
|
Wikipedia says he is dead and that stuff is way more accurate and cant be changed. You're lucky he's dead Gertner. Wouldn't want to have to call you FAKE NEWS GERTNER
|
Pretty sad. Unfortunate he became a punchline the past few years. Solid worker and had a really nice run in 2000.
|
:'( RIP.
Seems the reason for the lack of confirmation besides Meltzer was due to the family holding off on giving an official statement. Just needed time for others to see him one last time or pay their respects before making the announcement. |
Rest in Peace. One of the most entertaining acts of the Attitude Era.

This sucks, I loved Too Cool loads, I was always more of a Scotty fan but loved their dynamic together. It was at the time I had got back into wrestling so missed their Too Much stuff but they looked a great heel team when I saw some stuff lately.
What a shame, from what I heard he had the world at his feet as a youngster. |
been watching USWA for the past few hours. ver nostalgic right now. was such a strong product.
|
Man what a rough time he's had over the past decade or so. RIP Brian. I remember enjoying the angle where they wouldn't admit that he was Lawler's son, during the Light Heavyweight era, and JR would always call them out on it. Never cared much or Too Cool, but it was super over.
|
I loved Too Cool despite thinking it was rather foolish, but still managed to have them winning me over.
I always use his Corner Top Rope Legdrop in the WWE Games for my guy. |
Maybe the biggest waste of talent that I can remember.
|
I thought Too Cool was entertaining and they really reached their peak around the year 2000. Too Cool and Rikishi were crazy over.
Thoughts & Positive Vibes to the Lawler clan. I also think Meltzer owes them all a public apology for reporting Brian had passed away hours before he had but he'll just post "he was braindead, it was the same thing" and get off scot-free for shoddy journalism, as always. Anyways, a shame to hear about, Brian let his demons win in the end. |
Jesus. Lawler must be a wreck right now.
I know he's been in jail once or twice, but I'm shocked this happened. R.I.P. |
After his last arrest for DUI I had a feeling this wasn't going to end well. He also got into a fight about a year or so ago against Chase Stevens I believe and got the living shit best out of him. Multiple facial fractures. He's also gotten numerous DUI's , fleeing the cops, not paying a hotel bill in the past year or so.
|
New Jack going off on Brian Christopher on Facebook. It's exactly what you think it is.
|
His downfall was when lawler wouldnt give him his name for fear of coming off as aging if he had a son on tv. lawler was probably right from a business standpoint but there's a human impact there that lawler would never be able to grasp.

Weird that he hated him in 1992 and still does...New Jack needs to #FindInnerPeace

He could "get less than 2 fucks", judging by the state of him i can very easily believe that. |
Rikishi turning heel was pretty much the end for Christopher.

Dave inaccurately reported his death this morning
It was later confirmed he was on life support He has since passed away this early evening, confirmed by WWE.com |

Just so you guys are aware, yes, I feel like a piece of shit for dropping that joke. But, I also feel it had to be done. I'm prepared for the rightful hate. |

I don't normally comment on wrestler deaths, but this one...I don't know how to describe it. It's not shock, but it's jarring. When I first started watching, I was weirdly drawn to Brian Christopher. One of my favorite looking spots, as weird as this is going to sound, is him taking the trash can from Kane in the 2001 Royal Rumble. Always liked the guy, but kind of tuned out when all the issues started -- and maybe that's why I'm responding to it -- because it's something that should have been seen coming but wasn't?
I've only learned recently how much potential he was perceived as having circa 1992. From Gertner actually. Having that much potential can lead to expectations in your mind that can never be lived up to. |

I enjoyed him a fair amount, seems like the definition of a "wasted talent" to a degree, he had more potential than met the eye.

His shovel dance got me through a lot of awkward get togethers where dancing was mandatory, RIP big dog

According to Hardeman County's sheriff, they didn't think Brian Christopher was a suicidal threat at the time of his arrest and jailing which is why no precautions were taken.
Quote:
Also seems it was Jerry Lawler's podcast co-host who broke the news online of Brian Christopher passing away in the morning before it was made official later in the day after Jerry Lawler's somber visit. |
The fact that the sherriffs didn't think he was suicidal gives a little credibility to Dave Meltzer's statement that the CO's and/or Ariyan brotherhood may have killed him and staged it as a suicide
|
in what way
|
Failed suicide?
That's very feminine. |

I’m no doctor, but I’m pretty sure the only reason Brian didn’t die in his cell was because he was probably found before he could die
|

|
I'm really rooting for Brian, Jr.
|
Jerry Lawler is also saying there is more than meets the eye to this one... I wonder where Meltzer got that scoop about the Ariyan Brotherhood killing Grandmaster Sexay and staging a suicide
|
Why Aryan Brotherhood, though?
Dude's white. |

I salute you. |
Not sure if that was a black joke, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt and just shrug it off.
Also, I find "true crime" type shit interesting. |
I'm fully aware Aryan Brotherhood is as "Aryan" as Wayne Brady. They are best buds with some Mexican gangs and shit.
What I meant was more like "Why exactly Aryan Brotherhood"? Just because they're so super evil or what? Blaming a black gang would be racist? |
For all we know, he could have been involved with them. His life was a shitshow, would it be completely surprising to find out such a thing? They might have "asked" him to do something he didn't.
|
Do we even know how long of a sentence he got?
|
there is no Aryan brotherhood in county jail...ever. guys are serving 45 day sentences not fighting to survive.
|
Supposing it wasn't just a straight up suicide, you don't have to be doing fed time in the pen to be killed. Prob'ly a lot easier to do, since it's likely a bit more lax in nearly every way. Also, if it were just some short-term DUI type shit, it would raise the question of why one would off themselves if they were just going to be there for two months.
|
I thought I posted this. I just read it was county jail and was saying that murder by gang is highly fucking unlikely in goddamn county jail.

Well not that one person did it but that the Aryan Brotherhood or the corrections officers or someone was involved
|
Dave Meltzer does not have any source on the inside of the Shelby Co Jail
|
Maybe a lot of Memphis wrestlers did time there in the 80s and Dave got to know the warden or something and now the warden is giving him this scoop
|
Metlzer is reporting a source claims Kevin Sullivan was seen in the area the day Christoper passed away
|
Now that's just silly
|

U'd be dead right now if this was twitter for sure |

Maybe Dave ordered the hit with all this information he has seemingly out of nowhere

formerly a black cock post
|
RP brings up another possible scenario.
|
I think Occam's razor suggests that he was probably a depressed motherfucker and when he thought he had hit bottom, or thought that it was only going to get worse from there, he decided to do something to stop whatever he was going through.
|
I don't know who that is but that's not what happened. Dave Meltzer is reporting there was a hit out on Grandmaster Sexay and the Aryan's hung him.
