Also, no Luke Harper isn't a hidden megastar in that if he goes elsewhere and shines isn't going to make WWE lose the "war" (there is no war). But he was a solid big man who was criminally misused by WWE. He was one of the most prolific examples of the drawbacks of WWE's Pokemon mindset with getting everyone they can without a plan on how to use them. He can go to AEW, New Japan, or Impact and get booked so much better than he did in WWE. AEW lacks big man wrestlers IMO and Harper I think would be the best option for that. I can see him becoming a Upper Card guy with ME taste. Will he be a needle changer out of the gate? no but he can be solid hand once he re-establish himself as Brodie Lee. The same way Hager is right now who again another solid hand but will be be a needle changer? Maybe not. If he goes to Japan he will draw there the same way Gallows or A-Train did.

I think it’s kind of hilarious and weird and telling Of wrestling being weird that a guy being allowed to finally quit makes me so happy.
Don’t care where he goes, but just want him to be happy. Think he’ll be good in whatever he does.

But I don't think he was really over to a point where he was criminally misused. He could have done more, but I don't think his case in like one of say Ryback.

Most of the time when someone loses their job so close to Christmas it’s seen as a bad thing.

The Wyatt Family shit became an albatross around his neck. And unlike Braun Strowman or even Rowan, they never let him really break away from that and establish himself.

How much do you want to bet they did this now so that they wouldn't have to pay him a Christmas bonus.😂

Because he was never given the chance. The Wyatt Family shit became an albatross around his neck. I mean he was IC champ and had a great ladder match with Ziggler, and had was involved in the Orton/Wyatt build albeit for a very short time and really didn't have the crowf overwhelmingly behind him.

Sin Cara pointed at Harper and wouldn't leave the office until they granted his release.

He should do the NJPW circuit, then become AEW's big lariat guy.

He’s probably blasting this right now: Didn't know they had a WWE ref playing guitar 😆
