He's flat out awesome. WWE has so many big guys with massive potential, it's unfair.
Luke Harper Roman Reigns Titus O'Neil Cesaro
I could see anyone of those guys as future WWE World champs. Usually WWE's hosses are big, bland, and powerful, but all these guys have tons of potential.

Harper is an absolute must-see talent, probably my top favorite ATM. Can't say enough about the guy.

Big E deserves a mention though.

Guys like him are the reason we need a lower card title, and a show where the lower card can shine. I'd give him a small singles push, but I wouldn't break up the Prime Time Players to facilitate it.

That's all it will ever be because he's terrible. I give him charisma credit but his ring work makes Jennifer Hudsons husband look like bret hart

His power bomb off the top rope was pretty damn cool. Sort of off-topic, I do very much like Luke Harper...but I'm not a fan of a guy powerbombing a guy half his size off the top rope and only getting a two count. To me, that's just as ridiculous as 5 Divas spinning around in a circle and clumsily knocking their opponents down. These are the difficulties of growing up in an era where a fisherman's suplex or flying forearm could easily end a match. I agree. That move is amazing and it should definitely be used as a finisher & only on special occasions. The clothesline is impactful enough to be a finisher for him most of the time, but it's also a move where it can believably be kicked out of. The same can be said for the big boot. Hopefully the next time he does the power bomb it's a special moment - like them Winning the Tag Titles from Cody & Goldust. I can see Cody taking that move like a champ.

That does seem like a reasonable way to put it. But part of me worries that it will get to a point where he'll never beat anyone that "matters" with it and thus the clothesline will reflect more on the opponent's spot in the pecking order than Harper's abilities.

He'll be a top 2-3 heel in the company in the next year or two. He may never be WWE Champion, but he'll sure as hell be the monster heel that makes the face champ's life a living hell.

That does seem like a reasonable way to put it. But part of me worries that it will get to a point where you can tell a guy's spot on the pecking order just based on whether they kick out of it or not, and people will look bad for "jobbing to a clothesline". Like i see it getting to a point where he can only beat the Darren Youngs or Tyson Kidds, but not a guy like Sheamus with it. THE BEST PEOPLE JOBBED TO CLOTHSLINES ON MONDAY NIGHTS MACHAL!

What I like about Harper is that I can't picture him as anything but his character. He seems like he really is a deranged hillbilly.
