Brian Christopher

[8.0] "Brian Cristopher was one of the good ones in the attitude era. His highlight was not as an in ring worker, but as part of Too Cool as Grand Master Sexay, alongside Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi, getting some of the loudest pops of the night doing the worm, dancing in the ring, and the stink face of course. The Royal Rumble 2000 is a particular highlight for me personally. May he rest in peace, a good hand in ring"

[5.0] "He got an early spotlight, and unfortunately that probably hurt more than helped. He got over as a heel and wasn't bad in the ring, but he couldn't sustain any of that due to outside of the ring issues. Still, Too Cool is one of the more over and recognizable acts of the Attitude Era, and it was great that he did get to do a few return matches with the duo/trio"

[5.0] "Before going to WWE he got a huge push in Memphis due to his father. Brian Christopher was best in WWE with Too Cool. After leaving WWE he never did much of note even with getting pushes with WWA and early TNA. He managed to get over huge in Memphis and WWE with Too Cool, and he could have a good match in the ring with the right opponent. Never managed to connect with the fans outside of Memphis and as a member of Too Cool. Another wrestler whose career was hurt and life was ended due to drugs and alcohol"

[7.0] "This might be considered a hot take, but if Brian stays clean, he should have been one of the very best heels in all of wrestling. Brian was a total natural, and had unlimited potential. His footage before the dumb WWF gimmick change is all gold. His heel stuff in Memphis rules, and even his initial WWF run, feuding with Taka Michinoku, is super fun."

[5.0] "In some strange way, Scotty 2 Hotty might have been the most competent member of Too Cool. Rikishi had his moments as a solo wrestler, eventually being inducted into the Hall of Fame, which leaves us with Brian Christoper or "Grandmaster Sexay." In Memphis Christopher seemed more at home and had less pressure. Once he made it to WWE, anything was possible and he found himself as a...cool guy who just liked to dance and have fun... Huh. Fast forward to an awkward comeback attempt and the life of Christopher quickly spiraled out of control. The son of Jerry Lawler deserved better..."

[4.0] "The definite weak link in the Tool Cool trio. He was okay in the ring, but didn't have the size to go far beyond comedic goof heel who feuded with other small guys. He had one great 1 1/2 years when Too Cool took off, then he popped for drugs around Mania 17 and it was all over from there. Another sad ending."

[7.0] "As a young lad I wasn't that into anything he ever did, I just looked right past him - on purpose. As I grew older, he joined the WWF (thanks to his father no doubt) and still did not impress me. I was never into hip hop, so I didn't care for 2 Cool in the least. RETROSPECT CHANGES EVERYTHING. He worked on his physique over time, he had tremendous pacing and body control, he helped elevate those around him as he progressed himself. 2 Cool was super mega hella WTF over the top OVER over. FOR REAL over. No make believe over, MASSIVELY LEGITIMATELY OVER. About as big as over gets. Like, tippy top all time Road Warrior/The Rock over. Second only to Stone Cold/Hogan over. Recommended? If you have an open mind, certainly - you kindahavta look past the exterior to appreciate this guy."

[8.0] "Brain Christopher to me was one of the guys who defined what being an entertainer was. The guy oozed charisma his whole career. An extremely talented in ring performer who, when he had his head on straight, could go out and pull a good match out of anybody when called upon as a babyface or a heel. Good on the microphone as well, especially in the memphis wrestling days. WWF/E never really let him do too many promos for whatever reason. I also think that he could've been a bigger star had he kept his head on straight. The only thing was that he fell victim to his demons outside of the ring and that lead him to not getting a lot bigger than what he was in the early 2000's because most companies couldn't trust him after that to stay straight."

[5.0] "Brian Christopher isn't as bad as some make him out to be, he was pretty smooth in my opinion. As Grandmaster Sexay, he became one of the more over acts of the lower midcard. He had pretty good work in Memphis (because of nepotism)."

[3.0] "He was ok in the ring, but his persona was just corny as hell. He was always a guy who thought he was a lot more funny than he was, and his goofiness undermined a lot of his credibility. Wasn't really special in the ring."

[4.0] "Seemed to be decent in the ring, but I just couldn't appreciate his awful gimmick in the late 90s in WWF during his feud with Taka. Those dumb faces he made and that stupid laugh. Too Cool was never too interesting or over for me either, felt a lot like the same gimmick just repackaged. I'm aware he had a long history in USWA, but I'm not familiar with any of his work there so this rating is based on his WWF stint alone."

[6.0] "As a wrestler he was okay, not great, not bad, just okay. He also could cut good promos and be a good heel."

[7.0] "I personally enjoyed him alongside Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi in Too Cool , they were a big part of my childhood."

[4.0] "Seemed to have a less than stellar career due to his demons & his odd relationship with his father. Had a lot of talent during his peak, but he was never able to capitalize. The Too Cool gimmick was only so interesting before it became a nuisance to sit through."

[8.0] "Son of Jerry Lawler. Had a great career in the Memphis USWA promotion. Sort of liked his WWF "Grandmaster Sexay" gimmick, but, alas, this seems to be the ONLY thing he's remembered for. Cut decent promos in the USWA, really likeable in both promotions. How does Brian have a rating of 4 but somebody like Joey Ryan has 7? May this man rest in peace."

[6.0] "Was great in his early days in USWA as champion. Great feuds with his dad. Also he was great in the WWF in 1997-98 when he was in the crusierweight division and feuded with Taka. I like his gimmick were he had a hysterical laugh and smirk. "I'm not Jerry's kid". When he was with Scotty 2 Hotty he went downhill. Sad that his career went downhill pretty quick. He had trouble with steroids, alcohol and the law. He wrestled in Memphis for many years with no success. Also he was not successful like his father. He is memorable in Memphis. Very sad that he killed himself. RIP"

[6.0] "Brian Christopher was an excellent souther-style worker and could have excellent matches in that style with others who employed it. But if he was in the ring with someone who worked a different style, Christopher was lost and just didn't know what to do. ."

[6.0] "Was a decent wrestler, but was wildly entertaining in and out of the ring as part of Too Cool, will definitely have fond memories of him."

[6.0] "Not going to try to jump on his bandwagon due to his passing, but Christopher was a very talented mid-card wrestler, similar to a Chris Candido, but with a little more personality, even if he was pretty over the top. His demons constantly fucked him out of any sort of career progress, and ultimately led to his death. It's really tragic. I'm glad he at least got a few happy moments in the WWE before his final days. A smaller guy like him would have had a better chance to blossom these days, and I don't think his dad's name would have been as much of an obstacle for him to overcome. I'm not a "god" person but I hope he is at peace."

[6.0] "A competent wrestler that really did get over in the 90's with Scotty 2 Hoty as part of Too Cool. I feel that Grandmaster often get's overlooked as he was a very solid wrestler (Even though his facial expressions were stupid)"
