Prayers for your loss and your consolation! This is a horrible tragedy!

It has to be heartbreaking for you. My lady found her son in her basement hanging. She will never be able to get over it. Drugs are what caused him to it and he took that way out. My hearts with you Jerry

Prayers to you and your family Mr Lawler

Jerry, I feel so sorry about Brian. I've met both of you at a few times. I sold you your first computer you bought at Service Merchandise. Also got you your show tickets at Goldstrike casino, and also ran sound for one of your wrestling events at the Delta Fair about 7 years ago and Brian was there too. When I heard the news of Brian's death I too was shocked. And I too felt what the news was, was not the truth. Jerry you and your family are in my pragers. I am so proud of you being apart of the WWE and being from Memphis.. God Bless.

Well Groot, you can say what you want. But I grew up in Memphis, and do know both Jerry and Brian. Matter of fact, I first met Brian before he even started wrestling. And it was at Brian first job! But you can say what you want. I KNOW the truth in what I said. You hide behind a screen name. I don't.

King I’m sorry for your loss I applaud you for having the courage to talk so openly about this in such a public manner

Yeah, I call it a reverse nightmare, where being unconscious is your only hope for relief. RIP BCL! Justice for BCL!

I dont understand why they would murder him though. Im not saying it didn't happen that way, or like the reply above me says, maybe they tried to choke him out and accidentally choked him to death, and tried to cover it up. But if someone is depressed, and been arrested X amount of times, its certainly possible that they could consider suicide. Whatever the case its very sad all the way around, and I wish this never happened. RIP Brian

My condolences, Mr. Jerry King Lawler.... ~RIP Brian Christopher Lawler 1972--2018~

King. You did the right thing. You showed your son love and compassion. Now your doing the next best thing in investigating. My brother was murdered alongside my sister in law my niece and a close friend. The sherrifs ignored it and so did the county atty. Yet no atty wanted to touch it and i was pissed. They found the killer and gave him the death penalty, the first one in kansas since 1965. These people shouldnt be scared. I called out the fbi i called out the cia and called out the local county in kansas, and gave them three options. Public hanging, death penalty or common place in prison. Jerry your doing the right thing!!!!! You need the answers and the truth will come my man. The truth will come.

RIP Brian, I think he was murdered by scum bags in jail.

The Chosen One well the funny thing is is that I've been inside the prison system before and the fact that the matter is if there's Foul Play involved nobody's going to say anything whether it be inmates or correctional officers I know because I've been there not that I'm proud of it because I'm not but if our plays involve nobody's going to say anything. And they're supposed to have cameras in most of the cell blocks pointing into every cell so if they didn't then whatever County he was locked up in this going to get in trouble or they should get in trouble should I say. I definitely think there was some foul play involved cuz not a normal person is going to hang them self my guess is he had help doing it. The other thing is like I said in my other message where drugs are steroids ever used by Brian cuz that could be a possibility as well whichever the case may be they need to get to the bottom of it because somebody like him that died at such a young age in the prison system is ridiculous.

@truthfulrobot9295

The Chosen One I agree with you and *Brian Morton* sounds like foul play, how convenient that the cameras didnt work, he was probably choked out by the same cops and since brian was pretty strong, they probably hit him hard on the head. Which explains the last clues of the rope neck burn expect in front of his neck, he must have been holding the rope, and the head injury is probably a hard hit. Certain cops are strung out on coffee, anger issues and just snap.

Brian Morton You've never been in ANY facility (@ least not in the US) if you honestly believe there are cameras that see into every cell. Do you realize how many assaults, drug deals, etc go on in cells that C.O.s know nothing about? If, IF, he was in the hole, or Ad Seg there may have been cameras watching him, but if he were, hed be alone. Its a county jail in Tennessee, not a federal supermax unit, or a third world country. What the good old boys are covering up is their lax monitoring of him. I've been to jails and prisons, too, and guards do not kill the inmates, and when other inmates do it, they don't do it in county, unless they're going for a long stretch in, in which case, they wouldn't be in w a celeb dui case. A week before, Lawler, his son and the sheriff sat in the sheriffs office and they were promised they'd take care of him..they're covering their wide country @sses for incompetence. Thats all.

The Chosen One You ever been addicted to drugs i have and I've lost friends in this way coming down is a bitch and it makes you say and do crazy things which you would never do with a clear mind people were saying the same thing when Aaron Hernandez killed himself in the same way yeah it sucks and I feel bad for jerry but the truth is his kid killed himself who had any thing to gain from doing this why would any one risk there own life and risk going to jail it just makes no sense and his dad isn't gonna want to think his son hung himself because he wouldn't bail him out its a hard thing to go through and its hard to admit but I'm sure in time he will realize what happened and come to peace with it in some way

nobody ever wants to accept the fact that their loved one took their own life away.

King Fish I know this pod cast is years old. I knew Brian. I KNOW for a fact he didn't kill himself. Me and him worked each other many times and talked weekly. He made me love wrestling again when I started to hate it

JUSTICE FOR BRIAN MAY GOD GUIDE YOUR FAMILY TO THE TRUTH

Time with family is the most important thing..

Really hope the truth comes out for Jerry and the whole family and friends of Brian Christopher.

Brian was a great wrestler, I hate this happened to him and Jerry/his family. Condolences to say the least.

I am so sorry for your loss and feel devastated for you. God Bless you and your Family and I pray you find honest answers to all of your questions

Shook hands with Jerry twice over the years..condolences to you and your family sir...stay strong

Condolences to Jerry and his family. Jerry is one of the nicest people that I have ever met. My heart breaks for him in the loss of Brian.I pray that he will get the answers that he is looking for and that Brian deserves.

Sounds really suspicious to me.

This is really screwin with me because I just started rewatching the attitude era (like mid 97) and I was like "oh yeah I forgot about Brian before too cool! He was hilarious! I wonder what he's up to!" and found all this 😭😭😭 So yeah, obviously watching his matches now through new eyes and he was truly great, like I was almost shocked at how well he wrestled back then, he had great bouts with Taka! Always mixed his moves up, gave 100% with the character, just a god tier heel wrestler and I don't think he ever really got that credit. This really bums me out. I hope they ended up getting some kind of justice because this is just awful.

This is so horrible to hear what happened to your son King. I hope you find out what happened to your son you deserve justice for your son my thoughts are with you

God bless you King and your family. May brian rest in peace.

I hope Jerry Lawler finds justice for his son.

Sorry for your lost Brian will never be forgotten

He had a 90 sentence for a dui no way someones hanging themselves over a 90 day stint

This was heartbreaking to listen to. Jerry I know you aren't going to see this but I feel for you brother.

I didn’t know Grand Master Sexy passed...

how awful for him. The pain must be excruciating. RIP.

Im so sorry for you’re lose I ask my God bless u Mr. Jerry Lawler and to you’re wife I hope u have pease I ask Lord give u all peace and understanding and wisdom I love u sir I hope you’re family be brave at this time

I love you dearly Jerry "The King" Lawler. I feel terrible for you over Brian "Grand Master Sexay" Christopher's passing. I loved him.

Best personality in the business He was absolutely beautiful Justice will be served

R.I.P brian.

Long time fan God bless you and family

i hope the truth comes out fast

I feel so sorry for Jerry couldn't imagine what he is going though

I am so sorry for your lost may he rip

this is a cut from the original podcast

God bless the entire lawler family

Sounds like he had major heat with the cops. Wrong kind of heat.

Sry for your lose Jerry! I hope you find the truth Sir! Long Live THE ONLY 👑!

Have there been any updates on what really happened to Brian?

Rip Jim the anvil

Jerry I worked at @ jail this is sketchy! They should’ve been doing 15 min checks and Brian shouldn’t have had anything to hang him self with! The good old boys will try and cover it up! Prayers for you and yours!

I’m sorry that all of this happened

Here it is 2.5 years later and it is as fresh on my mind as the day I found out about it. Nothing has ever been right about this case and it will always break my heart that it happened.

So sad. Long live the memory of Brian Christopher. xoxo The Clarences

maybe it was Freddy Krueger like in Nightmare 1

I miss him when I heard I cried me and my dad played his theme song to honor him.

RIP Brian

I would like to talk to jerry personally, but he is a hard man to get ahold of. My condolences to the family. I understand the fear first hand. R.I.P. Brain

sorry to here about your son here was one of my favorite wrestle

I still can't believe Brians gone. It just doesn't feel real

Addiction is hard on the whole family...I don’t think Brian hurt himself

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO GET THE GOVERNMENT OR GOVERNORS ATTENTION. "EVERYBODY" BRING THIS AS WELL AS OTHER MATTERS TO THE GOVERNOR. PLEASE I BEG, I URGE, I'M ASKING RESPECTFULLY. LET US ALL JOIN TOGETHER TO GET THE GOVERNOR IN ON THE TREATMENT OF ALL PRISONERS AND JAIL INMATES AT HARDEMAN COUNTY TN...

Good luck recovering from the grief

Brian was so entertaining and he will be missed. Too many guys are going.

Plz stay strong king.. I know those words are so cliche however i mean it.. Ur heart is strong but i worry that something like this can severly harm you.. Idk how to word what im trying to say, alls im saying is im worried about you 👑

When did his son die

Crazy to think someone might have done something, maybe as a payback for something jerry had done, heard stories that brian had antagonized ppl too, sad we’ll never know

no a screw is a very common term for a prison officer google the word screw

Murdered

I highly doubt it was staff more then likely it was other inmates ... Now are staff probally covering it up in some way so they don't get in trouble for not preventing it yes i can believe that

Lawler I'm a big fan of yours I got a picture of you me and you on Facebook and I'm a fan of Brian Christopher's and my prayers go out to that family and I hope Lawler that you find the truth about Brian Christopher cuz he's going to be really miss and we all love you and Brian so my prayers is to the you and the whole family

im a big fan of yours and your son i feel your pain ... idk if you read personally your comment but... if you do it might help you... i come from the street and ive been in jail more than one time i also grew up in the juvenile jail *im from montreal canada i speak french so im not sure how do you call it in english but i know how its work and after seeing the picture of his neck i truly beleive that he have been murdered *very sry* as retaliation and he to big to be taken by one man he strong even for his age i mean he a wrestler physically and spiritually i think the reason why the story is so messed up is because some guard have been paid to open the door ... that kind of stuff really happen im telling you by life experience im 31 now and im staying out of the trouble for a bit more than 5 years now but its hard cause the street mentality never go away... but anyway if i was you i would follow my first instinct and try to go for murder or something related to cause im 100% sure with the picture that he did not suicide himself and if its so your son required at least 2 big goons to take him physically and break his endurance that means guard are involved ... you got the money to do it and im sure deep inside you feel guilty cause its kind of you fault indirectly cause you could have advoid his death.... im not trying to be rude or anything im just telling you what i really think about the situation cause im a huge fan of you and your son specially your son when he was grandmaster sexay on his to cool run BEST TAG TEAM EVER thaT Royal rumble script was so fucking great and me and my best friend back when we were teenager always pick them up on wwf no mercy on the 64 dont feel bad about your son death he wouldnt have wanted that for you and i like the chrismas tree tribute you should do it every years stay strong brother

This does not sound good. Too Sexy had a ton of skills in front of the camera.

The Grand Master Sexay character was Fun but WWF at the time really should have leaned into the fact he's the King's Son Give him a King of the Ring and put Jerry in his Corner the way Heenan was in Flairs Corner whilst still on the desk

Jerry don't rely on the tax payer funded system to investigate itself, you have to cough up the dough and hire a private investigation team. Congratulations on having the courage.

RIP

What if the cops killed him. They probably didn't know who he was.

I'm not a conspiracy guy at all, I hate that shit. But I'm finding this very hard to believe too. That he hung himself with shoelaces like this. Is this even possible?

When I heard that it was a hanging suicide, I thought of course it had to be with a belt or a bed sheet in the cell. That a man his size could do this with shoelaces, and that this method is something that would even occur to someone to do to end their life is very bizarre.

Jamie theman who?

I would like to know from Jerry's standpoint was Brian ever into drugs or steroids. that could have what Ben drove him over the edge that's just my guess. also the things that I want to know I've been in county and state prison and usually they take everything away from you that you could possibly even hang yourself with so the fact that he hung himself also means that sheriff deputies were not doing their job and I am so sorry for Brian and his family. also in the jail cell that he was in was there Foul Play involved which is a possibility also because when other people are bullied or beaten up in the prison system nobody says anything and I'm just saying that because I know for a fact because I've been Behind the Walls not that I'm proud of it or anything but that's the truth. I hope that we will get to the bottom of Brian's death because Jerry and his wife deserve some closure. I remember when my brother died in 2003 I thought it was a dream and when my father died in 2005 I thought it was a dream but the reality was that the both of them are gone and I have to deal with that. My thoughts and prayers are with Jerry and his family.

It’s well documented that sadly Brian struggled with substance abuse. It is perfectly possible he took his own life but there have been drastic inconsistencies from the jail and things that don’t align with him hanging himself. There’s no video, nobody was monitoring him if he was a suicide risk etc etc

1 thought about the alleged 20 inoperable cameras: Dummy cameras are a very common practice. Having active cameras in high traffic areas allows you to build the myth of surveillance and the dummies create hysteria and paranoia. Not doubting any part of the narritive in the video i just didnt find that aspect to be particularly odd.
