"We didn’t speak for 5 years" - Scotty 2 Hotty on backstage fight with former WWE Tag Team Champion

Scotty 2 Hotty formed an entertaining partnership with Brian Christopher during their WWE days, but the former tag team partners initially didn't let along.

Collectively known as "Too Cool," Scotty 2 Hotty and Brian Christopher stayed in the WWE until their release in 2007. The former WWE tag team champions' reunion outside WWE didn't go down smoothly as they had a backstage argument at a wrestling show.

The veteran opened up about his backstage relationship with "Grandmaster Sexay" during a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, disclosing details of their backstage fight.

Brian Christopher dealt with severe substance abuse issues and was allegedly 'a mess' when he met Scotty 2 Hotty at the venue. Following their heated exchange, the latter did not speak to Jerry Lawler's son for the next five years.

"We were never close. But after I was released in 2007, we did a weekend for Hermie Sadler in the Carolinas, and we did some Rock' n' Roll Express tournament. Brian, it [the tournament] was 3 days long, and on the first night, he showed up, and he was in a bad place. I could smell it on his breath; he was a mess. By the time Sunday had rolled around, we had a big fight in the locker room, not a physical one, just a verbal one. I was like, 'Dude, I don't need this.' We were just different people; we didn't speak for 5 years," revealed Scotty 2 Hotty.

Scotty 2 Hotty and Brian Christopher have reconciled since their fight

Brian Christopher and Scotty 2 Hotty later buried their differences, and their relationship improved as the years passed.

Too Cool got back together along with Rikishi for a few shows, and Scotty 2 Hotty even recalled having a photo of his son along with Christopher.

"Then, on our first appearance back, he pulled me aside and apologized for everything; we both apologized. Over the next few years, I felt like we got closer than ever. There were a bunch of shows in the UK with me, Rikishi and Brian, and I bought my son, who was 10 years old at the time. I have a picture of Brian showing my son Keegan how to use a payphone. It's from behind of both of them, but it's so cool," added Scott Garland.

Brian Christopher, unfortunately, committed suicide in 2018 in his prison cell after being arrested on a DUI charge. Scotty 2 Hotty also spoke about his former tag team partner's sad demise while speaking to Chris Van Vliet, which you can check out in the above video.
