Career

---

For a while, when Brian was known as "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher, father Jerry Lawler did not publicly acknowledge that Brian was his son, although Jim Ross (Jerry's broadcast partner) did always hint this.

Brian Lawler began his World Wrestling Federation career as Brian Christopher and began to compete in the fledgeling lightweight division. He would later team up with Scott Taylor to form the tag team of "Too Much."

After a while they changed their names to Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty and called themselves Too Cool, they were later joined by Rikishi. They enjoyed an immensly popular run as Too Cool, however their run ended in late 2000 when Rikishi was revealed as the man behind the wheel of Stone Cold Steve Austin's hit and run storyline.

While Scotty was sidelined in 2001 with a broken ankle, Lawler formed a short-lived tag team with Steve Blackman.

Lawler was arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police when he was found to be in possession of one tenth of a gram of marijuana, half a gram of cocaine and one gram of methamphetamine in Calgary International Airport. He was released from the WWF as a result.

Brian also wrestled briefly for TNA as Brian Lawler. He formed a group called Next Generation with fellow second generation stars, David Flair and Erik Watts. They feuded with Dusty Rhodes and harassed him with a replica of the NWA World Title belt that he wore when he was champion.

Brian then returned to the WWE on April 12, 2004 but only stayed for a couple of weeks until he was let go again, this time for 'bad attitude' and missing, or being late for, a number of shows.

When Brian debuted in United States Wrestling Association, he was part of a tag team called "The New Kids" with a high school buddy named Tony Williams.
