WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler recently spoke with Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard, and during the interview, Lawler had the following to say on his return to WWE at SummerSlam, in the wake of his son Brian Christopher’s passing.
“The people in the business and the fans themselves have really stepped up. I’ve heard from so many people out there,” said Lawler. “I was just at SummerSlam and Stephanie McMahon hugged me and started crying, Mark Henry and R-Truth, who was really close with Brian, were crying. It’s meant so much to me to know how much he was thought of. I got a phone call from The Rock. He and Brian started out together. Brian was so proud of his friendship with The Rock, and that call meant a lot. I feel bad for everyone who comes up to me, because they’re hurting too, and there is nothing we can do to bring Brian back. But I do really appreciate everyone’s thoughts and their concerns during this time.”
Jim Ross is also quoted in the interview, and had the following to say on how he and Lawler’s lives have drastically changed in the past two years, as they have both lost family members:
“Jerry and I both agree that we need to enjoy life a little more,” said Ross, who also suffered the sudden loss of a loved one when his wife died in March 2017. “We both agree that we should take full advantage of every day and spend each day around people who we like and like us.”
