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

Don't they usually take stuff you could hang yourself with (belts, shoe laces etc) off you before putting you in the cell?
His final wwe appearance, don't think most of the crowd had a clue who he was. |

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. |

It's being reported that it's probably one of the CO's or Ariyan's hung Christopher and staged it as a suicide

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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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.
