Rikishi turning heel was pretty much the end for Christopher.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
