History Wrestling / LukeHarper

* ContinuityNod: In his AEW debut, he teased the Sister Abigail before hitting another move.

* {{Expy}}: Wrestling/BruiserBrody, Brodie Lee-- anyone with a basic knowledge of pro wrestling history can probably put that one together. Similar styles, similar names - they even [[IdenticalStranger look quite a bit like each other.]] WWE has run with this, too. [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]] mentions Bruiser Brody every other time Luke Harper shows up.

He debuted in WWE as a member of Wrestling/TheWyattFamily. On November 17, 2014, he won the Intercontinental Championship from Wrestling/DolphZiggler, ending Ziggler's 56-day reign. He also was a [=SmackDown=] Tag Team Champion, alongside Wrestling/BrayWyatt and Wrestling/RandyOrton. But after Randy's machinations led to Bray ousting Harper out of the Family, he turned on his former master and started a singles career. Later in 2017 he teamed up with Rowan again to form the Bludgeon Brothers, their respective first names falling victim to the [[Memes/{{WWE}} Name Goblin]] in the process. After an injury in August 2018 sidelined him for several months, Huber was planned to engage in a feud with Wrestling/SamiZayn throughout 2019, but after a post-[=WrestleMania=] ''[=SmackDown=]'' dark match with Wrestling/{{EC3}} was poorly received by Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, the feud was scrapped. After a fallout with Vince led to him being off television for five months, he once more paired with Rowan to feud against Wrestling/RomanReigns and Wrestling/DanielBryan at a tag team match for that year's Wrestling/HellInACell pay-per-view, which the Bludgeon Brothers lost. Two months after that match, Huber was released by WWE on December 8. As WWE owns the Luke Harper name, he reverted back to the Brodie Lee ring name, and on the 18th of March episode of ''[[Wrestling/{{AEW}} AEW Dynamite]]'' he revealed himself as the true identity of the 'Exalted One' of the Dark Order.

Jonathan Huber (born December 16, 1979) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er from Rochester, [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkState NY]] currently in Wrestling/{{WWE}} as '''Luke Harper'''. He debuted in late 2002 as in the upstate New York independent scene where he competed until he arrived in Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} in 2007. His original gimmick, "The Right Stuff" '''Brodie Lee''', was based on the Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock. This ended at the CHIKARA show ''Here Come the International Invaders- Attack of the Phantom Sith'', August 17, 2007, when he introduced his new trucker gimmick, "The Big Rig" Brodie Lee, and allied himself with the Olsen Twins (Colin [Delaney] and Jimmy) against the Colony (Fire Ant, Soldier Ant and Worker Ant) and scored the win for his team by pinning Worker Ant. This was during a year-long streak where he did not get pinned or submitted. As Brodie Lee he also competed for Wrestling/RingOfHonor, [[Wrestling/DragonGate Dragon Gate[=/=]Dragon Gate USA]], Wrestling/{{CZW}}, the German westside Xtreme wrestling and a variety of independent promotions. Among his in-ring achievements, he is a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-nxt-t.html WWE NXT Tag Team Champion]], a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/nj/japw/japw-h.html JAPW Heavyweight Champion]], a former [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/nj/japw/japw-t.html JAPW Tag Team Champion]] and was the final [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/nj/japw/japw-nj.html JAPW New Jersey State Heavyweight Champion]].

* BondageIsBad: Luke Harper's black handkerchief in his back left pocket marks him in the [[TotallyRadical somewhat outdated]] handkerchief code as a BDSM top. It also has a touch of DepravedHomosexual as the code was pretty much entirely used by the gay community and considering we're talking about the PG [=WWE=] here, certainly an example of GettingCrapPastTheRadar.
** Or it could be that WWE and Harper just don't know about the subtext. He's worn other color handkerchiefs in his pocket during his indy days.

** There's also the way he ''always'' made a beeline for ring announcer Gavin Loudspeaker, who had to flee for his safety. No reason was ever given for his irrational hatred of him.

* FingerpokeOfDoom: Subverted. In his [[Wrestling/LarrySweeney "12 Large: Summit"]] Tournament Match with Vin Gerard at ''CHIKARA Aniversario: The Legendary Super Powers Show'', May 22, 2011, Gerard tried it and Lee laid down, but then slapped Gerard when he tried for the pin. Gerard ultimately won the match, but with an inside cradle.

* RealMenWearPink: His New Kids on the Block gimmick.
* RealSongThemeTune:
** The Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock's "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" during his original pre-trucker gimmick
** Replaced by Music/JohnnyCash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down"

* WrestlingDoesntPay: A wrestling trucker as Brodie Lee.

** In WWE, he's never exactly been made to look wholly incompetent (his perception, along with Bray's, surviving even some of WWE's more mindnumbing booking decisions), but this trope has been in effect whenever he's struck out on his own. His first separation from Bray Wyatt was paid off with an Intercontinental Title run which, as short as it was, meant that he held gold before Bray himself did. His second separation from Wyatt and HeelFaceTurn in 2017 saw him instantly booked as ''several degrees'' more threatening. In the mere weeks since his turn became official, he's had high-profile singles matches with both Wrestling/RandyOrton and Wrestling/AJStyles, the latter amounting to a #1 Contender's Match for the WWE Title. And although he lost both, he looked extremely strong in defeat (particularly in his ''awesome'' PPV tilt against Orton) and had positioned himself as a dangerous WildCard on the periphery of the main event picture. Then he was taken off TV for a couple months, allegedly because he was ''too over'', and put in a meaningless midcard feud with Eric Rowan on his return...

* BarbarianLonghair: Appears not to have cut his hair since the day he switched from his New Kids on the Block gimmick to his trucker gimmick. While working in CHIKARA he went from short haired to shaggy hair to a mullet to the style he wears now as Luke Harper.

* RedBaron: "The Right Stuff," "Big Rig"

* UndyingLoyalty: Out of the three other members of the [[Wrestling/TheWyattFamily family]], Harper's the one that always seems to come back eventually.
