If you build a wrestler from the ground up, it would look like Luke Harper. Do you think he will ever get a push to the main event? Great look, solid promo, best active in-ring worker after Rollins. Plus he can do dropkicks and hurricanranas and shit. There doesn't seem to be any long term investment though...it would be a damn shame if there isn't any plans  |

No. They could have done it. They didn't. He's better as the muscle in a faction.

Ridiculously underrated and overlooked performer. He deserves so much better than this modern-day Barbarian thing he's been saddled with.
Keep his backstory intentionally mysterious, much like they should have done with Rowan. Sometimes less is more...

He's younger than he looks. Besides, for his time in WWE, he's been booked as a pretty formidable guy. Wouldn't be shocking.

Not as anything more than a monster of the month for a face champion.

Unfortunately I think his role will always be Wyatt Family fall guy even though he's capable so much more as in ring he's one of the five best in the company. The guy never has a bad match. Roman Reigns best matches have been against him imo.
I personally find him to be better then Bray Wyatt despite being pushed substantially less. Much better worker and much more menacing and believable as a psycho heel. Bray's a better promo though and is also eight years younger so I guess I can see why they see a better long term investment despite not being as good.

Unfortunately no... Which is a shame, because he wrestles like a fxxxing beast! He's great! I would love for him to go "invade" NXT on behalf of Bray Wyatt for a spell. |

I'd really hope so. Harper's my favorite wrestler at the moment.

I don't see it happening, even though I'm a big fan. He's fine as he is.

Unless Rowan comes back into the fold, Luke's gonna be the guy who's basically cannon fodder, since they've got Brownie Stoneman as the big, invincible muscle backing Bray. |

He is very good when they take the reigns off him. He reminds me a lot of Cesaro and i feel like backstage probably tells both of them to tone it down and do a more diet coke version of what they're capable of a lot of the time.

No, for some reason WWE don't seem to care much for him.
I wish they did though, Harper is awesome.

I wish they would've given it a shot; Bray starts enjoying his popularity with fans, Harper turns on Bray for berraying their principles.
Oh well, I guess they can still do it. They can't be a faction forever.

Was he a big name in the Attitude era? There's your answer to whether they will push him.
They should however as he's awesome.

I think they like him just fine, but unfortunately, they brought him in to fill a very specific role, and they don't seem to see him outside of that wheelhouse. Which sucks, because he is a very diverse performer. |

The idea Luke Harper is the second best in ring guy in WWE is comical to WWE.
