In light of recent events, we are extremely sad to hear the news of the passing of Brian Christopher AKA Grandmaster Sexay. He was always good to us when we did shows with him. Watched him put smiles on countless kids faces. We all have our struggles. Hope he is at peace now.🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/qkhWtvs7IC

I did not know Brian Christopher. He was fired from WWE the day I did my Invasion run in, in Calgary, and returned on my last day on the main roster, again in Calgary. An amazing coincidence. #RIP
