I heard about this on a local political show that also digs pro wrestling.
 Nikolai Volkoff and Brian “Grandmaster Sexay” Lawler passed away.

I really thought Nikolai was older than that. He looked old when I was a little kid thirty years ago. He lived near some relatives of mine in Baltimore. They'd run into him from time to time and said he was a real nice man.


Several media sources have confirmed that Christopher hung himself in his jail cell, where he was being held for DUI. He was taken to a local hospital and later died. Some reports claim Brian was kept on a ventilator until Jerry could make it to the hospital to say a final goodbye.

I remember him at MSG very early 70's, a squash match against Gorilla Monsoon, Volkoff supposed to be in his early twenties at that time.

WOW!!!
I guess everybody starts somewhere.

You know, I can only remember him ever working for the McMahon's. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information about him in circulation. I don't recall him ever conducting a shoot interview, etc.

One of the nicest men you could ever meet outside the ring.
