Former WWE Superstar Hospitalized After Attempting Suicide
More breaking news today of a sad nature after it was reported that WWE Hall Of Famer Nikolai Volkoff has passed away (read about that here).
According to ProWrestlingSheet, former WWE Superstar Brian Lawler, known as Brian Christopher and Grandmaster Sexay, was rushed to a hospital after hanging himself while in jail. Lawler had recently been arrested for DUI and evading police (find that here), the second time in the past couple of months he was arrested for theft of services after staying in a hotel and not paying the bill (check that out here).
It’s being said that it does not look good for Lawler and it may be inevitable that he’s going to pass away. While there are multiple reports out that Lawler is already deceased, however that has yet to be confirmed at this time.
The Chairshot will provide further updates on Brian Lawler as they become available.
