RIP Jon “Mr. Brodie Lee/Luke Harper” Huber (1979-2020)

I can already tell that this episode of Dynamite is gonna hit me about as hard as the Eddie Guerrero tribute show did.

I hope that they could get an Erick Redbeard appearance even if it’s just a video tribute.

It’ll be good for these guys to get out there and work out some of their emotions regardless though.

It'll never happen, but since there won't be a WWE tribute show it would be a wonderful gesture if some of Jon's closest friends still under WWE contract were allowed to contribute to the show in some form. Just let wrestling come together for one night to celebrate the life of a man who was well-loved by everybody.

If they had a video compilation like they did for Jericho's 30th, with the likes of Cesaro, Woods, Big E, Orton, Rollins and others, that would be amazing. As you said, no way it'll happen, though.

In the bright side,trying to ligh hearted here dont take seriously, at least the odds for someone in the dark order finally win are good.

I predict i'm gonna cry and smile a lot

God I hope that's an official logo for this week and not fan art

I just realized Brodie's last match was on my birthday.

I will very likely watch it every year.

I'm gonna say fan art due to the butchering of the word Wednesday. Hopefully they do pick it up and use it though.

And you see it is legit, he didnt have to do a whole tribute show themed around him,people would have been fine with an opener of the dark order,a package and the salute.

Dude went the extra mile,dropping the whole show for it,respect

TK has to have had the strangest rookie year of any promoter ever. Definitely the most successful, but also the only one to deal with a global pandemic and the death of one of his major stars. At this stage any talk of "money mark" or "inexperienced" has to go out the window: The man's as legit as it comes.

And those things aren't even related. What a f***ing bizarre year.

Tony Khan has showed not only class in constructing this card, but put together an amazing card. I am sure Brodie would be proud of it

I also think Dark Order sweep here. Like it hurts no one to lose, the records reset next week. This needs to be a feel good show.

Start of Raw had a graphic, two, "It's Monday, you know what that means," bits, and a, "Yeah yeah yeah." Lack of the bell is a bit disappointing but still nice to see some love being paid.

Last Year, AEW ended with The Dark Order, and many hated it

This year, AEW is going to end with an all Dark Order show... and we're all gonna love it

Getting back online after a long weekend...... this news hit me as it broke and I've been sick about it since. Absolutely horrid, even before I knew how much he mean to SO many wrestlers.

SO MUCH social media reaction, it's a lot of tough reads but also an amazing collection of people sharing so much of the goodness that Brodie/Luke/Jon spread to all around him.

RIP sir.

It’s just unfortunate that it’s in these sad circumstances with Jon’s passing.

Just to warn people, there’s an article going around from a website that really should know better with an article basically saying that AEW and Huber’s family should give the full medical history about what happened to him even though his wife said enough which is, IMO, beyond goddamn scummy.

I’m not a full time mod but I’m putting it here because I’d very much would rather it not be posted here. This topic has almost gone another way a couple of times and I’d rather it not get pushed again.

The "editor" of the site has now posted he has removed the article.

"Based on that conversation and additional reporting, I decided that the column does not meet our standards for publication. The piece has been removed from the site."

Is this the first tribute show from a major wrestling program since 2007?

You can tell he's a genuine good guy who loves wrestling like all of us.

Watching his interviews and seeing how he treats his employees has won me over.
