Remember him? He was a mid-carder in the Attitude Era. and briefly returned to Raw that one time around 2009 or 2010 iirc.

I had no idea he was Jerry The King Lawler's son. He must be very sad right now.

RIP.

Of course. He would team with Scotty Too Hottie all the time.

Yeah, part of Too Cool as was Rikishi.

I must say I had no clue he was Lawler's son until I heard of his death. The King had a heart attack(live on tv to boot) some years ago. I hope his son passing doesn't kill him as well :(

Brain being Lawler's son was one of those big pro wrestling secrets at the time..if you found out at the peak of his career, then it was regarded as a big deal. Over time, Brian's career nosedived and thus the mystique of being the son of Jerry kind of lost it's appeal.

He had a history of drug addiction and arrests, and this was one arrest too many it seems. Shame. I enjoyed Too Cool.

I wasn't watching wrestling at the time he was around so...

But when he returned to Raw around 2009 or 2010 and no one in the crowd gave I damn I still didn't know of it. And I don't recall any wrestling fan mentioning him being Lawler's son. I guess by then it no longer mattered.
