Real Name: Brian Christopher Lawler (Jerry "The King" Lawler is his father.)

Country of Origin: USA

Trained by: Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert and Jerry Lawler.

When Jerry Lawler's son Brian decided he wanted to be a wrestler, his father was conflicted. For one thing, The King knew what a rough business it was. For another, the elder Lawler worried his son would be forever stuck in his shadow. So, Jerry Lawler decided not to use his connections to help Brian Christopher's career.

Brian Christopher would initially wrestle under a mask to avoid being associated with his famous father. As Nebula, he would compete in a team known as the Twilight Zone. Once the team disbanded, he adopted the alias Too Sexy Brian Christopher.

For whatever reason, Jerry Lawler changed his position on helping his son, and Brian was granted a WWE contract. He made waves in the light heavyweight division, but really picked up steam when teamed with "Too Hot" Scott Taylor as the tandem Two Much.

The pair were primarily enhancement talent (i.e., jobbers) but were enough of a fixture to be featured on WWE promotional media and commercials.

The team changed their image in 1999, becoming wannabe white rappers, and that's when he became known as Grandmaster Sexay. As Too Cool, the team would actually reign as tag champions, and were known for their post-match dancing, which sometimes included Rikishi Fatu (who, despite some information on the web, was never a formal member of Too Cool.)

Christopher was dubbed as one half of the 'hip hop' twins with Scotty 2 Hotty but was never alble to hold his own in the singles setup.

Brian Christopher sadly took his own life last year, but we prefer to remember him with this classic wrestling match against Edge and Christian.
