On Friday night Steve Keirn told fans in attendance at a fan fest that B. Brian Blair’s eldest son Brett Leslie had sadly died aged only 29. At the time, not much was known about the circumstances of his passing. However, it has now been reported that Brett was, in fact, murdered at a remote construction site. As of writing, it’s believed there are no suspects.
Brett had been named after WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart and had recently found himself in legal trouble after being arrested on April 10, 2021, by the Hillsborough County Sheriff in Tampa and charged for drug offenses. Eleven years earlier, when aged just 18, he had also been arrested on similar charges. In addition to his father, he is survived by his mother Toni and younger brother Bradley.
Most wrestling fans best remember B. Brian Blair for his time in WWE as one of half of the Killer Bees tag team in the 80s. He left the promotion because Vince McMahon hadn’t kept his promises and was also unhappy with plans to turn him heel. He effectively retired in 2001 and began a career in politics, and was elected County Commissioner for Hillsborough County in 2004. Over the past decade, he would occasionally return to the ring, often for IPW Hall Of Fame shows. Currently, he is the President of the Cauliflower Alley Club, known for its benevolent fund to help those in the wrestling industry who fell on hard times.
