I haven't seen anything yet reported about Brian. I heard he tried to hang himself though. But I read he was in the hospital for that. But yes, Nikolai's is legit and that sucks for his friends and family.

According to reports he hung himself and succeed damn fool. Life has ups and downs and while i have never had the up he had im sure i have had some very low downs. Wish he could have sorted himself out too cool would have been cool for nxt and helping young teens out.

I know he's had battles with addiction for a long time, feel bad The King and family. I dont think there would ever have been a bad time for 2 Cool to come back for a short stint even if it was just in NXT.
EDIT: Just did a quick google search, apparently he tried to hang himself in jail, says he's been hospitalised but alive

Haven't seen anything other than him being in the hospital for the attempted hanging.

Yeah but there saying its just a matter of time likely broke his neck and didnt die on impact. Or that he ruptured to many blood vessels and basically slit his throat.

I hope it’s not true and he gets the help he needs to get better. Maybe rehab and meet up with DDP.

It's sad he felt this was his only option.

Sources are saying that he has indeed passed away.
RIP. It’s really sad that he couldn’t overcome his demons. I know him and Lawler were estranged from each other but I hope they atleast patched things up.

Jesus christ... What a day. He was actually scheduled to make an appearance at a Potomac Nationals game with the King in a few weeks. Ya never know what's eating at someone, man. God rest the souls we lost today.

I'm at a loss.....Volkoff and Brickhouse were big deals to me during childhood. Volkoff in WWF and Brick house was huge for us watching the Memphis circuit. Years later ,as a teenager, the barely out of his teens Brian Christopher became THE heel sensation of USWA. I had him pegged as the even younger Shawn Michaels. He was that good during his "Too Sexy" years. While he moved away from that to his most well known role as Grandmaster Sexay, I don't think he was ever quite as good as a face as he was as a heel. But I'm glad he got to have at least that big run in WWE during its Attitude era heyday. R.I.P. to all 3. You won't be forgotten.

I feel bad for the King. It's always horrible when a parent has to have their son/daughter buried. RIP Brian Christopher

Really sad to read about Brian Christopher,really started to get into wrestling in the summer of '99 and one of the firs tag teams that really hooked me in was Too Cool.Loved all the stuff they did and then adding in Rikishi.As others have pointed out thought that Brian had a lot of talent and could have at least a solid mid card to upper mid card act on his own.Even with it not really working out I loved his short run in TNA and he was a major part in the company surviving and taking off in the begging.When TNA first started he was one of only a handful of well know names along with Jarrett,Hall,Shammrock and Killings that where basically the main event scene in the first six or so months in the companies history.
To honor him today going to break out the goggles and drop the leg on someone.
