Posted by Tributes have been paid to three former stars of the wrestling world who died on the same day this weekend.
Brian Lawler, Nikolai Volkoff and Brickhouse Brown all passed away on Sunday aged 46, 70 and 57 respectively.
The WWE said it was "saddened" to hear Lawler and Volkoff had died, while the National Wrestling Alliance sent its "deepest condolences and sympathies."
Their Too Cool duo saw them perform in the late 1990s and early 2000s under the aliases Grand Master Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty.
Lawler, who was being held in jail in Tennessee on DUI (driving under the influence) and evading arrest charges, was found in his cell on Saturday.
After being taken to hospital, the former wrestler, who was also known as Brian Christopher, died the following day after his life support was turned off.
Hulk Hogan was among other wrestling stars to pay tribute, thanking Lawler "for always stealing the show".
The former wrestler, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005, died at his Maryland home following a recent spell in hospital.
Women's champion wrestler - and member of the Hart wrestling family - Natalya Neidhart tweeted photos of Volkoff together with a tribute calling the 70-year-old "so special" to her family.
The former pro wrestler, who enjoyed most of his success in the 1980s and '90s, was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year.
His death was confirmed in a Facebook post by former wrestler Luke Graham, whose on-stage brother Eddie Graham was Brown's trainer. "
