RIP

RIP Brian Christopher, he’s finally found peace.

RIP

Brian Christopher for Hall of Fame

I just felt bad the way he was treated when he returned because the crowd was soooo silent and yeah I know alotta people want the fans back but cmon you gotta choose wisely because of course pg fans barely even know the wrestlers us humans from the earlier generations to 90s and 2000s grew up watching

Point

And also how lazy the new fans to search deeper about wwe history, even though it's easier to learn with the advancement of the internet nowadays than in the 90's or 2000's

yes, I'm one of those fans

yeah, some crowds are really dead, also the crowd was dead when DX portrayed being the mcmahons

@@sunyotokartosuryo6586 While in the crowd during a surprise return is hardly the time to break out the phone and google someone.

That's not how you think it sounds

@@smoothmb7643 How would you make the words sound out?....

Sadly if the fans dont know who you are.... Have no reason to pop

@@khesipresents1885 If the fans don't know who Vader and Brian Christopher are, then they can't be real wrestling fans.

@@aaronlusanko6356 maybe or maybe not but if they dont know you.... They wont pop for you... Thats all im saying

That and he was brought back to trash his dad

I don’t ever remember him being popular. Too Cool did make for light hearted humour but never in singles action.

@@md12962doesn’t help he was also the least popular guy of the group

He was not amazing

Same here mate!

So could I

Same

im just 1 year older than u and same

I'm 13 and same

I hated the crowd at that time

@@Shaunny.Longlegs you probably didn't even care until he killed himself. Stop it bro.

@@joshuatraffanstedt2695 You got oddly triggered over what that person said. Maybe you should've stopped yourself before you posted that passive aggressive mess of a comment.

That was WWE's fault. They knew he wouldn't get a reaction from the crowd. I'm surprised he even agreed to come out.

@@damedrops8197 Does it depend on the venue? I was surprised he wouldn't get some sort of acknowledgement from any crowd. He may have been a low end mid carder in Attitude era, but Too Cool was popular when with Rikishi.

That’s because they was in puerto rico lol outside of that who gives a F***

I heard RVD did that when he returned as well.

Swagger just went up a notch in my book. So f'n stupid how Vince wouldn't allow pot. Just encourages cocaine & opiate use cuz they stay in your system a fraction as long. Not like pot is an enhancement drug. Hopefully he allows it now. Since it's legal in half the country. The reason Riddle left the UFC is cuz he wouldn't quit smoking weed. Now he works for Vince. So Vince either changed his mind on weed or Riddle is regularly paying for his right to smoke as well.

I like him more now.

@@allamericananti-christ666 lol Vince out here getting paid and he ain't even the plug lmao

How much dollars would the fine be?

Probably the kids of today don't know him at all and they didn't grew up with him so that's why they didn't cheer him.

Yeah, that was painful to watch 😕 That was too silent, like 0.01% reaction. In the early 2000s, when we hear that song, we were all hype and lit! 😎

It didn’t help that they billed him as Brian Christopher and not Grandmaster Sexay

That was WWE's fault. They knew full well he wouldn't get a crowd reaction. It was almost like a joke.

They only brought him back to embarrass him that's all. What were they even thinking? He should've saved himself the embarrassment and not have returned like that to an ungrateful crowd.

Liz is an OG in a class way beyond that contrived “Diva” nonsense.

Vince loved Elizabeth so he would never allow anyone to call Liz a SDiva and always had her described as classy and beautiful "First Lady of the WWF".

@@donkeypant She was world class!

Elizabeth was only a valet, as was Sunny, although she did a bit more than Liz did with her commentating, modelling and interviewing. I still wouldn’t call Sunny a diva because she didn’t wrestle, unlike every other “diva” after her. I guess it’s subjective to what everyone considers a diva, but I give all the credit to Sensational Sherri for being the original diva and Sable for starting that era again.

I know but I was watching in 2000 and 2001 and by 2011 I was long gone from watching WWE.

Lies again? Salute Discipline

It happens. Unless you have a connection to an event or person, it's hard to get excited. It's like us Gen-X'ers getting excited when a song from the 80s or 90s comes on, even if we didn't like it back then. We all share those songs from our youth. Younger generations will not get it.

@@NazriB Is that you lil dk trumps????

Generation Z don't get it. Us millenials do.

They both looked horrible

@@jonsnipe5484 it's not about the looks. For example Kane and the Undertaker: both of them were heavily out of shape, especially Kane. And yet when they returned they got a hell of a pop.

Gms was a one hit wonder. He wasn't as popular as some of the bigger stars. That's why no one cared for his return. And he looked horrible and unrecognizable didn't help any matters either. He looked like Guy Fieri the famous cook.

Vader is and has always been garbage he is a danger to himself and everyone else

@@mythicalashley9542 was. He’s dead.

That's one of the reasons why i stopped watching wwe

Man, WWE has devalued the word "legend" worse than Venezuelan money. A legend is somebody that's still famous 100 years after their big thing. Babe Ruth is a legend. Wrestling's got a single digit number of legends, but they call everyone that was in a ring before 2000 a legend. No one in this video is even close to being a legend.

@@Veladus jake the snake is but ok

@@zanesmith2212 he's the only one but the rest ? They're just a bunch of average wrestlers

Legend?? That’s pushing it…

Stable reunions rarely get over like most of them deserve. And long runs don't often work well on the second go-round, as well.

@@robertlogan5354 only DX worked in 2006 😋

@@robertlogan5354 Yeah

@@robertlogan5354 Except for when the Shield reunited a few years back

@@grantonnintendo9525 hence the use of the word 'rarely'...

I think he did when he rikishi and scotty last match was against 3MB

@@ericmoorejr8033 Check out the NXT match

@@heelgill yeah like I been trying to find that match because that was when scotty went bald

Blame the wwe for that. They should've never brought him back like that. They knew full well he wouldn't get a good crowd reaction.

That’s because the crowds now days are clueless who people are.

Swagger isn't popular....those around him are...if the group split he'd get flat reactions as normal

The Jack Swagger title run was the lamest in WWE history..

There’s been a few of those. Not as many as there have been great title runs. But many former heavyweight world champs didn’t truly have the star power to hold said belt. And then there’s some that did and never got to hold it.

@@00ghostcobra lol, Khali says namaste :D

Swagger is still a charisma vacuum to this day. He's only in AEW at Jericho's insistence. He boring, has no neck, and can't talk to save his life.

He was the least successful out of the trio no doubt about it, sadly.

He was my favorite member

Me too :( RIP

RIP GRANDMASTER SEXAY !

Right, I agree.

It still amazes me how a man that big was doing moonsaults.

@@theguyfromwalgreens i feel you there. I looooves me some moonsaults, and vader's was wicked good. To this day, i gotta say the cleanest asai 'saults i have ever seen come from kurt angle, particularly at summerslam 01, where he splashed austin with like three of them.

@@robertlogan5354 Vader and Rikishi and others are a rare breed of athletic super heavyweights. Especially both were Japanese Promotion Circuit veterans, these guys are like human wrecking balls with agility of a cruiserweight. And Rikishi's superkick was underrated. You don't see their kind anywhere prominent. Rusev was almost a candidate of that.

@@jack-exzolt9858 and Keith Lee

Exactly

Exactly, no one remembers the person most of the time, but the gimmick is what the crowd fell in love with

Thats for sure. Most of the people saying he didn't deserve it probably dont even remember or know about the original Too Much tag team with "Too Hot" and "Too sexy" or when Brain was fueding with Taka for the lightweight title

Tbf, that's true, but when his music hit, fans would get a reaction to that, and with seeing him so he still should have gotten something

Mmm? Nah. Still wouldn’t have made a difference. Lol

i think that's because of the storylines between Jerry Lawler and Micheal Cole

I saw that episode of raw and was like who's that? I had to look him up to know he was Grand Master sexay. I would've popped big time if he came out to the TooCool theme

@@thegooseman90 same here,Shows that Attitude Era Fans are leaving

@@thegooseman90 they returned in 2015 as Too Cool and they got a reaction but it was flat

Idk, Edge is a lot more recent than some of these other stars, I feel like it didn't matter when you threw him in, as long as he was in condition, he'd pop.

@@Doc903 how would he get a pop with no crowd?!

@@Doc903 You're probably right, but I just like the feeling that he got an actual live crowd to lose their minds when he showed up. The bop was amazing. Regardless... crowd or no crowd... his return was legendary.

@ANC Nutrition plandemic?

@ANC Nutrition ohhh... interesting. That's new info i did not know. Thanks yo.

But if you know the person. You still will react to him coming out. No matter how PG WWE has got

It was more Attitude era fans being long gone from WWE they went to the indepents to watch or stopped watching wrestling

Stop with the PG nonsense. Too Cool were the PG act in the Attitude Era, so that's not it. I liked Too Cool at the time, but it was so childish that it would have fit right in now. So, it's not that. It's that most of the Attitude Era fans left and no one else knew who he was.

​@@LadyAstarionAncuninwell the PG bullshit is nonsense and ruined wrestling.

Please. It did not.

@@anthonybernero9720 as a HomeTown fan yes it did the lack of response that he got from the crowd was just wow

@@anthonybernero9720 doesn’t matter what the topic, you’ll always find a few people in the YT comment section claiming they’re “absolutely heartbroken” over something that has no impact on their life whatsoever lmao Dk why, but people feel the need to be ridiculously hyperbolic over the silliest things.

They don't know 2COOL FACTION

Announcing him before the music killed it.

They also used the wrong version of Too Cool theme, the one from 2001'ish, instead of the original theme.

I noticed TATANKA right away at WRESTLEMANIA. I grew up on OLD WW(F)E

Well the kids on these audiences never grew up with these legends and hall of famers that were the best of the best back then so they showed no respect and probably didn’t even care

@@verso8638 I'm 13 and I would have went crazy

@@peggytheveteran4968 then you show promise. never leave your past behind. some of the coolest performances are the old ones, that happened before you were even born.

@@verso8638 right, look at that return of Jake Roberts, so sad, man

@Paraone Ngatai dunno about that

FACTS

All 3 members of Too Cool would have to come back together to make it believable!!

@@ariesmichaelsayan4013 Yes. Unfortunately, it won’t be a completed Too Cool anymore. Brian Christopher a.k.a. Grandmaster Sexay passed away due to being Brain Dead. Leaving only Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty.

@@user-fg9oy3uo3h I completely forgot that he passed. I’m so out of it. That’s very sad. I think Rikishi and Scotty can do something special one day... but who knows

With respect to his passing, he was the least over member of Too Cool...Rikishi was who got them over and Scotty and the worm were its own thing...he was just happy to be there

At least he's a legit badass

He's one of those cases of good wrestler, horrible mic skills. He had a chance to be a big star when they paired him with Zeb Coulter but he blew that by getting a DUI. 🤦‍♂️

@@marcpower4167 Wasn't he busted for weed?

@@mistamaog that too. It was a DUI and possession of Marijuana, a $500 fine, 6 months of probation and a suspended jail sentence of 2 days. I can't help but think that's what cost him a world title run after WM 29.

When he had that real American bit with Zeb I felt was him at his best

@Loner omfg! Who cares? He is a legend and was good in the ring. Fans during this period are left wing, woke, sjw spoilt children who don't remember the attitude era (2010-ish until like 2018-ish and even now)

Respectively don't know Brian though Vader... Fuckin Legend

@@Shaunny.Longlegs 2010 the attitude era was way over...

@@Njpro they were 100% the best days. Mid 90s to 2008

Or if it had been anyone other than Michael Cole introducing him.

Either that or just annoucing that the person about to enter was King's own son. That would've created a reaction for sure

@@pocoloco753 He actually was introduced as Jerry Lawler's son.

and he should have danced his way out to the ring....thats how his entrance used to be...

@@jackstraw4222 he did dance,search the full video on KZfaq..it made it more sad

I think AEW has done so much better with him

I love swagger. But honestly he doesnt deserve that main event picture

@@nocapper5002 I think Swagger had Main Event potential great in ring abilities and decent on the mic. But when he became World Champion and dropped it to Rey Mysterio a month later in kind of ended his creditability

Yes, but they should also have tweaked his character to make him less of a Kurt Angle rip off. There is no way for any wrestler to live up to a comparison with a legend like Kurt Angle, so that comparison was always bad for him.

@@mysteryjunkie9808 he did have potential. Just WWE punished him for the rest of his contract because he got caught smoking weed.

Yeah I actually changed the channel because I felt so bad for him

The crowd were losers!!

It’s wwe fault for announcing him by Brian Christopher ppl of this generation just know him as grandmaster sexy

It was quieter than the pandemic era thunder dome shows.

The same fans who watched Brian Christopher in the late 90s/early 00s were long gone by then. I am pretty sure at least 85% of Attitude Era/ECW fans stopped watching a long time ago and now mainly watch The UFC/MMA. These days even a random UFC PPV is significantly more exciting than a major WWE PPV.

It wasn’t *cool* to see Carlitos return without a crowd. Hopefully he comes back another time.

@@heelgill carlito won't come back again sadly

:(

He prob couldn't do it for copy right reasons

Because they didnt know who it was simple

The crowds do that all the time. They add the sound, they didn't add his in on purpose-- as seen in this video, they enjoy embarrassing people.

I'm sure a lot of the 90s fans had never seen Backlund before. But he made it work.

I wish Sting would have won the title...😑

@@ShaneDouglas713 I don’t, too old imo and would’ve made Seth look weaker than he already was at that point

@@ShaneDouglas713 Forget the title, he should have won at WM

@@therealdude5771 VS Triple H? Most definitely but it's WWE they're not gonna put over WCW icon over one of their own...

LoL I thought you said grandmother 🤣

@@lebronjamesfan5566 I'm not laughing at his death I'm laughing because I thought it said grandmother

No. No he wasn't

Let the man rest in peace he was a great wrestler in my opinion with a rikishi and Scotty to hottie part of two cool

Omg rok

I still can't believe how much WWE botched the both of them. Maria especially is HUGE in ROH.

@@zacharyscott6779 Big fish in a little pond

I never saw their initial return but I was really into 205 in 2018 and when she and Mike made the jump I was surprised at just how great she had become on the mic.

That was some of the most cringeworthy crap I had ever seen. I hated those segments

@@zacharyscott6779 Don't know why she even returned she got pregnant twice .So yeah she was useless and annoying

I wonder if he’s still undergoing recovery due to his past. I hope the enigma is alright.

1. He got 2 duis since his return. 2. He had a title every year since his return(2017- tag titles, 2018: US title 2019: tag team 2020: Intercontinental 3. His dad passed away that's why he's not on tv.

And remember he also does music on the side

@@WGPhil-uw5cs plus creative isnt good at all

the WWE misuses people on the regular. HHH has said that they do not want big stars anymore. Rumor has it they are afraid that A. They will leave for Hollywood etc. or B. They become bigger than the WWE brand. Both things seems likely to be true and Ryback actually is the one who said the WWE is purposely keeping stars down and that he heard that from HHH who has been a shotty executive imo.

She already made an appearance on RAW 15 and she didn’t get a pop either

Man it's scary knowing Stone cold might end up in one of these videos

Yep. The problem was the core of it fell apart too fast, between hulk turning back to face, hall's personal prpblems affecting his work... and the lack of shock value. When the nwo showed up in wcw, they were the shot needed... edgy, antiauthority, powerful. But, imo, they did get stale after a while, especially when they got too big in numbers. To me, the point where they turned was when they added bagwell, of whom i was never a fan anyways. Hogan, hall, nash, the giant, and syxx are truly the core, real nwo. Associating others like nick patrick and bischoff was ok, but fake sting was a bit of a cartoony introduction... or rather, having a guy play him who has had an otherwise entirely unmemorable career, considering all the others to that point were known to crowds in one incarnation or another. My favorite part of it, really, is that behind the curtain, the kliq was pulling a lot of strings, in both of the major promotions.

The NWO in the wwe didnt make sense. In WCW they were viewed as former WWF guys trying to take over and destroy wcw. Coming back to WWE was just like a homecoming after a job well done

​@@robertlogan5354Well Said

Where is he now

Seriously. I was at home and I looooost it. I had been following Jakes rehab for over a year at thag point and it had been a few months since an update from him or DDP on his condition. And this was around one of the times Scott Hall fell back into relapse so for a while I was afraid that happened to Jake too. Then he came out on that Monday and he looked in phenomenal shape and I lost it

"for good". Well, uhhh...

At least he got a better reaction this time

Don't think so cuz when he returned with Zeb Colter and had the ankle lock as a finisher, he was legit. Guy himself blew that chance. The second chance after that, he got overshadowed in his own gimmick, being a Real American, by Cesaro. Dolph in a partnership way before that.

@@onmitsukid5342 Hence why I said difficult, but not impossible. Putting him with Zeb was what he needed to be relevant again, because he clearly wasn't going to be able to regain that momentum on his own at the time. Yet as you said, one thing or another kept happening.

@@ilikethecokev2 let's be honest Swagger never had that IT factor. Remeber how lackluster his championship run was. This man just isn't charismatic or good enough at the mic.

Without Brian Christopher or too cool, there would be no John Cena. That's what Jamie Dundee says anyway.🤔

Should've or should have

They didnt split up...christopher got fired over drug issues

Just posted this on someone else's comment as well. WWE really botched their entire run. Maria especially is huge in ROH. But by the time they showed up, the PG era wouldn't ever let them work with the type of heat they are used to creating. They're both excellent heels when in a company that isn't so sensitive.

@@zacharyscott6779 Facts !

that type of gimmick works only if its promo heavy and short matches...you cant have them wrestling for 20min with a gimmick like that...
