== Professional wrestling career == {{Moresources|section|date=November 2021}} === United States Wrestling Association (1988โ1997) === Lawler began his career as one half of the masked tag team "The Twilight Zone" with Tony Williams under the individual ring names of Nebula (Lawler) and Quasar (Williams). After they were unmasked, Brian continued to wrestle in the [[United States Wrestling Association]] under the name "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher. He feuded with wrestlers such as [[Jeff Jarrett]], [[Bill Dundee]], [[Tom Prichard]], and [[The Moondogs (professional wrestling)|The Moondogs]], and his father [[Jerry Lawler]]. Among his partners were [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] (known as Flex Kavana at the time), Tony Williams (as the New Kids), [[Doug Gilbert]], [[Raven (wrestler)|Scotty Flamingo]], and [[Eddie Gilbert (wrestler)|"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert]]. === World Wrestling Federation (1997โ2001) === {{also|Too Cool}} [[Image:WWE - London 6+70500 (34).jpg|thumb|Lawler as Grandmaster Sexay (left) with [[Scotty 2 Hotty]] as [[Too Cool]] in 1999.]] Lawler, still known as Brian Christopher, joined the [[World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) in 1997 and began competing in the light heavyweight division. [[Taka Michinoku]] defeated him in the finals of a tournament for the [[WWF Light Heavyweight Championship|Light Heavyweight Championship]]. In mid-1998, he started teaming up with [[Scotty 2 Hotty|Scott "Too Hot" Taylor]] to form the [[tag team]] ''Too Much''. When he was known as Brian Christopher, his father [[Jerry Lawler]] would talk him up as being superior to all the other Light Heavyweights but never publicly acknowledged that Brian was his son, although after [[Paul Heyman]] revealed that fact on ''Raw'', [[Jim Ross]] (Jerry's broadcast partner) always hinted at it. Often a running joke was that someone (usually a commentator) would mention their relationship, which led to both of them adamantly denying that they were related. On the June 13, 1999, episode of ''[[WWE Sunday Night Heat|Heat]]'', Brian and Scott adopted the ring names Grand Master Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty, returning after a hiatus. Their tag team was renamed [[Too Cool]], and they were later joined by [[Rikishi (wrestler)|Rikishi]]. They defeated [[Edge & Christian]] in May 2000 on ''Raw'' to become the [[World Tag Team Championship|Tag Team Champions]]. They were even occasionally involved with top-card feuds, notably being enemies to the McMahon-Helmsley Faction and their associates, such as [[The Radicalz]], Edge and Christian, and [[T & A (professional wrestling)|T & A]]. The trio's run ended in late 2000 when Rikishi was revealed as the man behind the wheel of the car that hit [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] at [[Survivor Series (1999)|Survivor Series]]. Shortly after, Rikishi turned on his teammates. While Scotty was sidelined in 2001 with a broken ankle, Lawler formed a short-lived tag team with [[Steve Blackman]]. In June 2001, he was released from the WWF for [[Illegal drug trade|illegally conveying drugs]] across the CanadaโUnited States border.<ref name="Mooneyham"/> === World Wrestling All-Stars (2001โ2002) === In November and December 2001, Lawler (as Brian Christopher) wrestled in the United Kingdom and Ireland for [[World Wrestling All-Stars]] (WWA). On February 24, 2002, at the WWA pay per view "The Revolution" in the United States, Lawler wrestled WWA Heavyweight Champion [[Jeff Jarrett]] for the title, but lost. In April 2002, at the WWA pay-per-view "The Eruption" in Australia, Lawler teamed with [[Ernest Miller]] to defeat [[Buff Bagwell]] and [[Stevie Ray]].<ref name="KreikenbohmWWA"/> === NWA Total Nonstop Action (2002โ2003) === From 2002 until 2003, he worked for [[NWA Total Nonstop Action]] as Brian Lawler. He formed a group called Next Generation with fellow second generation stars [[David Flair]] and [[Erik Watts]]. They were involved in a rivalry with Dusty Rhodes and harassed him with a replica of the [[NWA World Title]] belt that he wore when he was champion.<ref name="KreikenbohmTNA"/> === Return to World Wrestling Entertainment / WWE (2004โ2014) === Lawler returned to WWE as Grand Master Sexay on April 12, 2004, but he was released the following month.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Greenberg |first1=Keith Elliot |title=Did WWE Star Grandmaster Sexay Have to Die? |url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/did-grandmaster-sexay-wwe-star-brian-christopher-lawler-have-to-die |website=The Daily Beast |access-date=24 November 2021 |language=en |date=22 September 2019}}</ref> On the March 14, 2011 episode of ''Raw'', Lawler returned to the WWE as a [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] in a segment between [[Michael Cole (wrestling)|Michael Cole]] and his father, Jerry Lawler, where Brian would side with Cole, saying that he felt that Jerry never cared for him and that he was ashamed to be his son. Lawler indirectly agreed, telling Brian that he was a bigger screw-up than [[Charlie Sheen]]. Lawler returned to the WWE on January 6, 2014, appearing on the "Old School" edition of ''Raw'' and reuniting with Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty to take on [[3MB (professional wrestling)|3MB]] in a six-man tag team match. His team was successful in winning. He made what would be his final WWE appearance, on [[NXT Arrival]] in February 2014 as part of Too Cool in a losing effort as mystery opponents to [[The Ascension (professional wrestling)|The Ascension]], who defended their [[NXT Tag Team Championship]]. === Independent circuit (2007โ2017) === [[Image:Too Cool vs Orlando Jordan and Umaga.jpg|thumb|Christopher (right) taking part in the Hulkamania Let the Battle Begin Tour in 2009.]] In July 2007, Christopher reunited with Scotty 2 Hotty at the UWF Rock 'n' Roll Express Tag Team Tournament, after Scotty was released by WWE. In 2009, he worked for the Hulkamania Let the Battle Begin Tour in Australia where he teamed with Rikishi. In 2014, Christopher and Scotty 2 Hotty continued teaming together in the independent circuit, England and Germany until 2016. On the weekend of September 22 and 23, 2017, Christopher teamed with his dad and [[Doug Gilbert]] for two matches to [[Terry Funk]] and The [[Rock 'n' Roll Express]] for Big Time Wrestling in Raleigh, [[North Carolina]] and [[Spartanburg]], [[South Carolina]], both resulting in a loss. Christopher's last match was on November 11, 2017 where he defeated Donnie Primetime for Georgia Premier Wrestling in Canton, Georgia.{{citation needed|date=January 2025}}
