3 WWE 2nd generation stars who surpassed their parents (and 3 who didn't)

# 3 Didn't Surpass - Brian Christopher

Jerry Lawler and his son Brian before the later's death

Brian Christopher was the son of Jerry "the King" Lawler. Jerry is widely recognized by today's audiences as one of the best color commentators in the WWE, known for his partnerships at the booth with Jim Ross and Vince McMahon at various times. However, Lawler was a great in-ring performer as well, lighting up arenas around the world with his antics. Undoubtedly, Lawler's home base and favorite territory was the Memphis area and it was Memphis Wrestling where he won the heavyweight title 52 times.

Lawler was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007 alongside the likes of Jim Ross, Dusty Rhodes, and Curt Hennig.

Brian Christopher wrestled sporadically for the WWF from 1997 to 2001, mainly used as a part of the Too Cool stable as Grand Master Sexay alongside Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi. They had a single reign with the tag belts, defeating Edge and Christian for the titles before losing the them back at King of the Ring less than a month later. Just like his father, he also won the Memphis Wrestling Heavyweight title, but managed only a single reign. Unlike his father, Brian Christopher is unlikely to find himself in the WWE Hall of Fame, having failed to reach anywhere near the same heights of popularity as his father.

Brian sadly passed away in 2018.
