WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi issued a statement regarding the passing of fellow Too Cool stable member Brian Christopher (a.k.a Grandmaster Sexay) on Instagram.

Below is what Rikishi posted:

“My uce therealgrandmastersexay our last dance together…. Brian’s living spirit was always his passion for adventure and love for the wrestling business!! What I will carry with me most is the Grandmasta’s infectious smile and wicked laugh but most of all is his passion to entertain each & every person he ever came in contact with.

My condolences and respect goes out to King realjerrylawler brother Kevin Lawler and entire family. I’m sry for our loss.”

WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett also commented on Brian’s passing and you can read it below:

“I woke up Sunday morning in London with many, many texts of the initial report on Brian. And, over the next few hours I had the time to reflect on all the years that I’ve known Brian; our fathers were business partners for many years and that’s how we initially met. From our first times together in USWA there were ALWAYS two things you could count on him to do—one, he was going to make you laugh no matter what was going on, and two when he stepped in the ring he was going to let his incredible charisma shine thru…his infectious laugh(at times really annoying), his athletic ability, and his knack for making everyone in the match better! For about 3 years I wrestled with or against Brian more than anybody during that time; and, I became a better professional wrestler because of it.

Over the years the Brian I, and so many more, knew became covered up in “life”…

The disease of addiction is real, it’s very dark, and it’s fatal if left untreated.

Brian, love ya and I will miss you my friend.

I pray your soul is finally at peace!

#RIPBrianChristopherLawler”
