But seriously, he's outstanding and is going to be an absolute success no matter where he goes.
Also, his 2012 shoot with Smart Mark Video with Eddie Kingston is easily a Top 3 most underrated Shoot Interview of all time. Just a fantastic watch.

Yeah they’d be crazy to ditch Killian Dain. Hell, send both him and Wolfe to NXT UK. Worse case scenario, both can make regular trips to ICW and wXw respectively to improve relations. Yep, that's how I took the post anyway. They won't be on the road together anymore due to being on different shows and having different schedules, so he's saying peace for now. That's how I read it as well! Really hope we get a singles push for Dain on SD

Luke Harper deserves a lot better than he got in WWE. Hope he goes to New Japan or AEW and makes a real splash in either place.

I'll miss the big guy, he really deserved a hell of a pusher finally turned on Wyatt and is for my money the best big man the company has had in years. Hopefully he shows up in AEW or NJPW and just wrecks fools for fun.

It seems excessive to scream AEW about everyone who wants out of WWE but they are losing some really talented people lately. Not really. A lot of people without recent exposure of WWE television are getting some nice deals and will be working a lot less. The one thing AEW really needs to attract casual viewers and to grow are more recognizable stars. If there was ever a time to cash out and change their lives for the better it’s now. The sooner people get out the more likely they’re probably going to get a spot.

We’ll know if we get a Damien Sandow “UP NORTH” promo on their next show Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn that was HORRIBLE. Ugh shit makes my stomach turn lol. We better not get one of those. Just imagine turning to AEW and seeing this “That company buried mia over and over again and now I’m in AEW and looking out for mia and only mia!” *Brandi Rhodes squashes Sasha in 2 minutes*

Man, did they ever shit the bed on this guy. Hopefully whatever company he goes to next actually has the brains to utilize him properly.

Good for Harper. It's also a benefit to him that although he wasn't utilized often he was usually always booked to look strong when in the ring. Former IC Champ, usually the second in charge of the Wyatt Family, and booked dominantly as part of Bludgeon Brothers. He has the advantage of not coming into a new promotion as damaged goods.

I'm happy for Brodie if he gets that release. He was the dude in the Upstate NY scene until he got signed and most of the guys around here were so pumped when he got signed. Here's hoping wherever he lands next he gets enough money to make him and his family secure and a better shake than he did in the WWE.

A shame, but kind of to be expected. WWE has more talent concentrated on its roster than its creative team (read: Vince) really knows what to do with. Add to this the stupid mindset that no one talent can be elevated to be bigger than the brand, while doing everything possible to stifle competition from every promotion filling more than a high school gym, and you have a recipe for a damn-near mass exodus in the next couple years. Now that the roster's out of the "Wrestlemania payday" buzz, I'd expect more of the undercard (and perhaps at least one top star) looking for the exits if they're not given a proper program.

It sucks that both his singles runs lasted about as long as a cup of coffee despite his getting over both times. I wish the best for him, though it's a shame I'll never see him in the position he should be.

Out of all the guys who AEW might think about looking at he might be high on the list. Yeah there's great dudes out there but Harper's a big dude who can work with a unique look and that's not easy to come by. Who knows where Harper's going but with all the AEW talent leaving I pray it doesn't become the "anti-WWE company" or anything shitty like that. I'm tired of seeing that Cody Rhodes gif lol. With AEW though it's not just about the talent, it's the cash and benefits they could be giving guys, it's probably the most level equal to WWE sustainability that could be out there right now outside of New Japan. And I feel Harper's pretty tight with the guys running ship It don't need to be an Anti-WWE Company, the issue is WWE has hired and run through so much talent, that there's gonna be quite a few talents with a WWE resume regardless. At the very least, most of them are Indy guys who have a long career even prior to the E, like PAC. Most of the "UP NORTH" promos are ones we got from Homegrown WWE talent who hadn't actually had many Indy Stints. Hopefully it stays this way.

When Cesaro and him came into WWE I thought both guys were can't misses, charismatic, talented and able to work multiple styles in the ring, and both are big men. Cesaro it took a long time to really find his proper footing and Luke...never really was given an opportunity to. The flirting of one they did give him, that whole ordeal around the time he split off of Bray, he actually was getting decent reactions off of but they shoved him to the side quickly.
Shame. But I can't see him not getting work for all the reasons I listed in the first sentence of this post.

He should show up on the indys as The Luke Harper Experience. I actually think that is an amazing name for a heel solo act (many names would work instead of Luke's) as much as The Viking Experience is a terrible tag name. Although someone has presumably done that already?

for me both Harper.and Rowam deserved much more than generic monster tag team They completely should have had him do something after breaking up from Wyattm .

Meanwhile, Vince is likely sitting Indian style on a kids roadmap rug playing with his Hogan and Cena figures as they beat up some generic bad guy G.I Joes. Dammit, get him some real Cobra figures please. You put an evil hypnotist, boxer and falconer on WWE TV in 2019 aND I WILL WATCH THIS SHIT AGAIN SON
