July 29, 2018 is turning out to be a sad day for wrestling fans.
Earlier today, we noted that WWE Hall of Famer Nikolai Volkoff passed away at the age of 70. Volkoff was admitted in the hospital for dehydration and other issues and was released just a few days ago. He passed away this morning.
With that being said, WWF Attitude Era wrestler Brian Christopher (a.k.a Grandmaster Sexay), who is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler, hung himself in jail and was rushed to the hospital. While this is NOT confirmed YET, multiple reports have suggested that Brian is no more.
In light of recent events, we are extremely sad to hear the news of the passing of Brian Christopher AKA Grandmaster Sexay. He was always good to us when we did shows with him. Watched him put smiles on countless kids faces. We all have our struggles. Hope he is at peace now.?? pic.twitter.com/qkhWtvs7IC

Brian was recently arrested for DUI and allegedly running from cops.
Below is what TMZ reported:
“Cops spotted the 46-year-old pro wrestler speeding and swerving around 1 AM on July 7.
Cops attempted to pull him over, but Lawler failed to stop — because, according to police, he was trying to make it home.
Once Lawler finally stopped, cops say he reeked of booze and had an open 12 ounce can in his center console. So, they arrested him on the spot.”
Bail was set at $40,000. Below is his mugshot:
This arrest comes just one month after he was arrested for not paying a hotel’s bill.
Below is our original report of his arrest from last month:
Former WWF wrestler Brian Christopher (Grandmaster Sexay of Too Cool) has been arrested for theft of services of less than $1000. He has a hearing today. He’s the son of WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler.
You can check out his mugshot below:
We noted back in March that Brian was beaten up badly by Jonathan Ryan Clark (a.k.a. Chase Stevens) in Stevens’ hotel room.
Brian (age 46) suffered the following injuries:
– Fractured skull
– Broken nose
– Broken orbital bone
– Teeth knocked out
Police found Brian intoxicated in the hotel lobby and arrested Stevens and charged with “Battery – Serious Bodily Injury.”
Brian could’ve suffered even more injuries had the hotel employees not interfered. Stevens worked an indy show in Clarksville, TN the following weekend and is a former Golden Gloves Boxing Champion.
