Brodie Lee

[10.0] "His short run in AEW showed how great he was given a chance. Very Athletic for a big man. In WWE matches with Shield were great."

[9.0] "Incredibly agile for his size and brought a rugged, believable style to his matches. Did great work as the "glue" of the Wyatt Family, but truly shined when he got to be himself in AEW. His TNT Championship run and leadership of the Dark Order showed his range as a performer and charisma as a character. Taken way too soon, but left a lasting impact on the business and those who knew him and got to see him perform"

[8.0] "A more than solid midcard, excellent wrestler... a shame he spent 8 years in WWE without being able to make promos, since the creative genius of that time had a dislike for Luke Harper. During his time in WWE I always wanted more from him, to see him fight more, to see him shine more... at wrestlemania 33 I was excited to see him champion and unfortunately they only put him in a battle royal in the pre-show. Thanks to AEW we were able to see all his potential, and the last 8 months of Mr. Brodie Lee's life were a total delight; destructive, enigmatic and quite competent on the microphone. His fights against Jon Moxley and Cody Rhodes are some of the most memorable moments in AEW and also a great merit was elevating 7 jobbers and giving them personalities (which unfortunately the company did not know how to take advantage of after his death). A tragedy even sadder than the death of Eddie Guerrero... Luke Harper left us too soon..."

[10.0] "Brodie was one of my favorite wrestlers since I started watching wrestling. He had such a cool look and in ring skills. Big man moves like a cruserweight. It was not common at that moment. If he was not in wyatt family, wyatt family would not get that praise. He deserved more than what he got when he was alive. Really underrated wrstler. His passing was so sad and I couldn't stop crying. My childhood hero. Miss you."

[8.0] "Despite leaving life so early, Brodie's legacy will always be remembered! A giant who was built like a freight train and could move like a cruiserweight (the 1st wrestlers to blend that style to come to mind). Made the best out of any opportunity in either WWE apart of the Wyatt Family being a personal favorite of mines simply based of his stature & off-putting trucker vibe or in AEW as The Exalted One elevating an entire faction behind him & a solid run. Also, has THE BEST Discus Lariat & Big Boot in the business! A legend and underrated star that'll be remembered in history!"

[8.0] "An underappreciated wrestler back in his WWE days. While he wasn't particularly gifted in any metric, he was solid. However, in AEW he had a chance to show how great he was. Big fan of his work there (of all of it, really. But he shined his brightest in AEW)."

[9.0] "Brodie is one of those that were taken far too early, and was one that was always underappreciated and underrated. It's such a shame we never got that longer run for him in AEW and with The Dark Order and all we have is the "What If's" when it comes to him, but at least we had what we had and we can look back on that with a smile and appreciate him for what he gave us."

[10.0] "In my top 5 of all time. He was held down so much in WWE and never got to show ho truly spectacular he was there. In AEW he was able to break through those barriers and had an incredible run that was cut all too short. Charismatic, funny, gifted, kind, spectacular, and gone too soon. The wrestling world is a darker place without him. Miss him every day."

[9.0] "RIP Mr. Brodie Lee. On the indies, Chikara and AEW he showed that he was the total package in terms of in ring action, mic skills, charisma and his mind for the wrestling business. Shame his career was cut so short."

[10.0] "Every single episode of Dynamite that passes, I miss him even more. An untouchable big man at his peak, an absurdly good dominator. I don't feel like anyone properly got him right, and nobody properly gave him the shots he needed to be the big star he should've been."

[9.0] "I was such a big fan of this guy. He reminded me so much of Bruiser Brody. Brodie Lee was so damn good in the ring, like so damn good. The guy could go, given his size you would've thought he'd be kind of generic, but man he was anything but. WWE never gave him a chance, whilst they did kind of let him go into his own post Wyatt Family, they just never put their all into him. Having heard what Erick Rowan said about Vince not liking Brodie's accent... just goes to show they were never able to really look past that. To me, Brodie was so damn good on the mic, his accent didn't matter at all, it suited him and, in my eyes, shouldn't have even been a discussion. He wrestled like an absolute mad man, his gimmick as Luke Harper was so damn good. I never really got to see him as Brodie Lee, aside from a few little segments and the Cody match, but I liked what I saw. So sad to see a HUGE talent like Brodie Lee taken away from us so early. Had so much left to offer, was only just starting to scratch the surface as to what he's capable of doing whilst he was in AEW. Will be remembered very fondly by fans, and screw Vince for holding his accent against him. Would've been a world champion had it not been for Vince not liking the way he sounded."

[10.0] "Brodie Lee was the best performer I've ever seen of a wrestler of his size and style overall. He delivered like an absolute monster and pro whenever he competed in any match that he was participated in. He is also the best father and husband in the entire world. Brodie was the modern version of Brusier Brody, Bam Bam Bigelow and Big Van Vader combined. RIP Mr Brodie Lee"

[9.0] "One of the truest examples of the following descriptor: diamond in the rough. Great worker, always brought a welcome intensity to his performances, tried his best to make chicken salad out of chicken s*** no matter what creative was given to him. Was massively underrated during his time on the Indies, and criminally overlooked in WWE. His AEW run was superb, and his work was excellent up until his unfortunate passing. By all accounts from those who were lucky enough to get to know him, he was a great man, and was an even better father. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna find a Brodie/Harper Discus/Lariat compilation online, and remember a kind soul who was taken from us much too soon."

[9.0] "I actually like Luke Harper, reminds me of Bruiser Brody, he literally is a modern-day Bruiser Brody, even had some influence in his Brodie Lee alter ego. Harper moves pretty well for a big guy, probably the most technical-based wrestler in the Wyatt Family, and he had good looks as well. It's a shame that he passed away. R.I.P Mr. Brodie Lee"

"He was one of the only two or three actual decent WRESTLERS who came out of CHIKARA. Sadly he never reached his true potential neither in wwe nor in aew but he left a decent enough body of work to be brought into the "best big man of his generation" convo. Certainly his passing messed up his Wyatt family companions and it's saddening that they haven't been able to pay him tribute by reaching the highest peaks of the wrestling world. Hopefully one day his kid (Negative one) will be able to right this wrong."

[8.0] "A great wrestler, very underestimated during his career, with great capacity, great ring skill, good charisma. It's a shame that his life ended early and we couldn't see him in a deeper run."

[10.0] "Brodie Lee was absolutely incredible. The big man was a damn good wrestler and was the stuff of legends on the indies and his run in AEW. WWE only fans might not rate him as high, but you can't blame the guy for not getting booked high on the card by VInce Mcmahon, it's just another case of legendary talent getting booked like shit by Vince. But even in WWE he was an essential part of the Wyatt Family and the best in ring worker out all of the former wyatts (I do not count Bryan Danielson's 2 weeks in the Wyatt Family) He was also a genuinely amazing human who went out of his way to help his coworkers and was beloved in the locker room. I almost never cry over celebrity deaths I'm not afraid to admit I was in tears when Brodie passed away. Rest in peace Brodie Lee."

[7.0] "A great big man who could work better than you would expect someone of his size. He also had a good promo in him and had a weird charisma about him. Not a great look which might have held him down a bit."

[8.0] "A great wrestler & human being on the whole. Whether he was tearing it up in ROH, CZW, WWE or AEW, he had great matches, promos & storylines in every one. He left us much too soon. RIP."

[10.0] "One of the best big men to ever step in between the ropes. His cage match against Claudio is up there with Bret vs Owen and his on/off tag team with Rowan was one of the few good things about WWE's tag division during the 2010s. His AEW run, while cut short by his tragic death, was one of the best runs of his career. He had a handful of great matches, cut a bunch of excellent promos, and legitimized the Dark Order and helped people like Silver and 10 develop into bigger stars. Brodie was also a just a great guy who was beloved by basically everyone in the industry."

[8.0] "Another case of a guy who died prematurely and was at the height of his popularity when he tragically and suddenly passed away. He was definitely one of the most respected and beloved guys in the wrestling business."

[10.0] "I dont think people really understand how good Brodie is until they look at all his work. The dude was always a good and interesting promo to go along with his amazing in ring ability. An incredibly compelling character whether he's talking or just looking like a psychopath as he did in the wwe as Luke Harper. His run in AEW was just getting to be interesting when he suddenly passed away. Super underrated big man for this era of wrestling and man I miss him everyday"

[10.0] "First started watching pro wrestling in 2015 and he was still in The Wyatt Family. Out of all the members, I was always drawn to him. Something about him gave off this weird charisma and made it impossible to look away from what he was doing in a match. Not to mention how great his moveset is. Unfortunately I came into AEW late and he had just passed. Wish he was still with us because from what I've heard and from NewLegacyInc's charity stream, he seemed like a top tier guy. Rest in peace man."

[8.0] "One of the brightest midcarders of modern WWE! He was fantastically agile for his size and at the same time very strong and technically professional. His image of a village villain in the Wyatt Family is probably his main segment in his career, because he became really famous and popular here, he held great matches in various lineups and with the best wrestlers of the USA and Europe. I really became a fan of Luke Harper when he had a great match with John Cena and his tough fight of his brothers in arms against the Shield in 2014. In general, their grouping deserves a separate mention, but it will be too long, I will rather evaluate their grouping in another category, now I will only say that this is a successful project that has given us dozens of interesting stories and hundreds of top-level matches. After the breakup of the family, Luke went on a solo voyage and at first achieved success becoming an Intercontinental Champion and this part of his career was also bright, he was remembered for his match against Dolph Ziggler on TLC and his participation at WrestleMania in a ladder match where he was very cool. Also, I want to remember his charismatic match against Dean Ambrose on Extreme Rules. In general, I found him all his career in WWE and I'm happy that he was there. You can write for a very long time, remembering the Bludgeon Brothers reunion and his close path to the WWE title when people really wanted to see him as a winner. As a result, things got worse in WWE and he left the company and went to conquer AEW where he became the leader of the Dark Order and this period of his life became a turning point, he was seen from the side of a cool leader who can be starring in the main events of the show. Unfortunately, his path ended there, he only felt the power and became a TNT champion as he abruptly left us. I will remember him as an absolutely loving man who gave his all to the great sport! Thank you Jonathan Huber!"

[9.0] "Brodie was incredible. He was never used well in WWE so as such I never really got connected to him. In AEW however, his character was fantastic and he brought an entire stable of jobbers to relevancy. His run was sadly cut short, but at the very least he went out with a great match, putting over one of AEW's top stars. An incredible talent with great promo ability, and was very good in the ring too. He left us way too soon. Rest in peace, Jon."

[9.0] "His run in AEW was going so well and seemed like the start of great things. He had always been a great worker but he finally got a chance to do a big character and it was so great that he elevated a pretty lame faction into huge fan favorites even to this day. I miss him."

[10.0] "(1000000 /10) Brodie lee is by far, the most UNDERAPPRECIATED wrestler ever. His works with Bludgeon Brothers, the Wyatt Family and Dark order are some of the most entertaining thing i see in wrestling in the last 15 years. he is good wrestler, amazing charisma, great on the stick. But most of all. he is the best "Dad wrestler" EVER. An amazing wrestler but an even better human being. I miss you already Mr Brodie Lee thank you for all the laugh you give with Dark order, Thanks for the creepy stuff with the wyatt Family & Bludgeon Brothers. and most of all THANK YOU for entertaining us fans even though you would rather be at home playing with -1 and nolan. Thank you Mr Brodie Lee, you wont be forgotten and you will NEVER be forgotten."

[9.0] "Brodie Lee was one of those guys who could seemingly do it all in this business but for whatever reason was never allowed to do so. He could wrestle with the best of them, he could talk in this imposing way that not even his fellow Wyatt Family brother Bray Wyatt could, and his legacy will continue on in ways that we can't conceive both inside the ring and out. He was gone way too soon, but he will never be forgotten."

[8.0] "I thought his AEW run got off to a slow start, but once they put him in a program with John Moxley it really took off. Mr Brodie Lee just oozed charisma and presence, and his work as a big man was excellent as well. He was arguably the top heel in the company before his tragic illness and death. Rest in peace, Mr Huber, you were one of the good ones."

[10.0] "May Brodie rest in peace . A great brawler who had a lot of potential. Was taken from us too soon and he should always be remembered."

[9.0] "This man was gonna be a world champion in AEW I just know he was gonna be. Its ashamed how WWE drop the ball so badly with this guy. I believe he should have been in that match at WrestleMania between Bray and Orton a few years ago. That story called for a triple threat even if he would have won he would have elevated that match. He would have had a great run with the AEW World Championship. This guy had it all the size, charisma, the moveset to be great in this business. To bad WWE didnt know what they had with this guy he could have been great even in WWE."

[9.0] "An exceptionally talented big man and a great talker. Most importantly he was a fantastic father. RIP."

[10.0] "No lie to Satan but brodie was one of the greatest male wrestlers AEW ever signed. From the way he was booked, it looked like he was gonna win the big one down the line. His matches in AEW and WWE were always good. His final match was incredible too. He made the Dark Order better than it already was and it was good already. His best match was either with Mox or against Randy Orton. Wrestling has lost a living legend. He is forever exalted. Wake up your mind"

[10.0] "A 10/10 Human, a 10/10 Father, and even a 10/10 Performer. Even before taking into account what he was outside of the ring, I genuinely feel Brodie deserved a 10. He could wrestle, he could speak, he had charisma, he was absolutely hilarious, etc. But his (awesome) abilities as a wrestler had nothing on his awesome abilities as Jon Huber. Never have I seen this many stories and experiences that others had with a person that paint EXACTLY what kind of person they were. Brodie Lee/Luke Harper and especially Jon Huber deserve a 10. Rest In Peace, Jon. We love you so much."

[9.0] "Thought he was great for a while, ending his indy run strongly, then being a swell character in The Wyatt Family, he showed immense potential as a tag team specialist and with an underrated Intercontinental Championship reign. Under other circumstances, he could have been a World Champion, but he ended his career honorably and leaves behind great memories, as a wrestler and as a man."

[10.0] "As a character, Brodie Lee/Luke Harper was magnetic. Something about him commanded attention. All wild hair and bulging eyes. His presence practically jumped off the screen. In the final years of his life he was able to show his range, going from the silent and deranged hillbilly Luke Harper to the terrifying and deadly, yet somehow hilarious "Exalted One", suit wearing and paper chucking CEO of The Dark Order. Jon played both of these roles with a level of commitment that made them feel real and forever memorable. As an in ring performer, he was one of the very first wave of the modern day big men. He didn't sluggishly trod around like the larger than life villains of old but instead attacked and flew with a speed and agility that belied his size. He could keep up, and in fact probably outwork, anyone he faced; but he usually selflessly made others look better than him instead. It's this talent that brought such a spark to the famous Wyatt Family 6 man tag matches in WWE, and truly all of his matches. As a human being, by all accounts, he dwarfed even his sizable accomplishments as a performer. He was a devoted husband, a loving father of 2, and a friend to all who left this earth without a single enemy. The outpouring of grief and admiration after his passing stands as a testament to this fact. Fans of professional wrestling will never forget any of Jon Huber's characters, or the man himself. He stands as a legend of wrestling and a role model. Rest in Peace, Jon and may we all live well enough to be as fondly remember in death as you are."

[8.0] "Brodie Lee was a great wrestler, he was one of the best big guys that I've ever seen. He had a lot of charisma and could easily be a big star. I'm not rating him with an 8 'cause he died, I'm doing it because he deserves it. We'll miss you, Big Rig."

[10.0] "Jonathan Huber was the only wrestler at his level that I ever knew to take an entire day to just respond to and engage with his fans. As a wrestler, he was fantastic. But this 10 rating is for Jon as a person, not Brodie as a wrestler. I'm going to miss you, my friend. We love you."

[10.0] "The saddest day of this wrestling year. A symbolical 10 for the great man that everybody say he was, for a great wrestler (8 on his skills). My highlights: vs Claudio Castagnoli, Steel Cage Match in Chikara; Member of The Wyatt Family; NXT Tag Team Champion; Smackdown Tag Team Champion both runs; TNT Champion in AEW and the whole Cody feud and Dark Order angle."

[9.0] "After hearing of Brodie Lee's death, I was surprised to see I had never rated him here. Judging by all the reviews pouring in today, I guess I wasn't alone. I had stopped watching WWE's product regularly by the time he debuted there as Luke Harper, but I really enjoyed his work with the Dark Order in AEW. In particular, his destruction of Cody Rhodes to win the TNT Title was one of my favorite segments in recent years. I was disappointed when that didn't really go anywhere and Cody quickly won the title back after taking a few weeks off to sell the injury, and even more disappointed that Lee disappeared from AEW television afterwards.. But now it makes more sense that it happened that way. In any case, Brodie Lee was a big man who could really move and work, who could cut a good promo when he needed to, and who generally was an excellent heel."

[10.0] "That's extremely sad, Brodie Lee had all the potential in the world to be a world champion. He was part of the awesome Wyatt Family, had great matches against the likes of The Usos, Dijakovic, Orton or Styles. He was 1 time Intercontinental Champion and 2 times Tag Team Champion. Despite all that, WWE never let him show his full potential, so he left and joined AEW where he became "The Exalted One" of the Dark Order and became TNT Champion. He had some quality matches and was promised to a great future. Unfortunately, life decided otherwise. Luke Harper/Brodie Lee was an amazing and underrated wrestler and Jon Huber was an awesome father and an even more awesome human being respected by all his peers and he will be dearly missed in the Wrestling world. May you rest in peace. We love you, Brodie."

"Critics will be critics, but at the end of the day, as long as you have the respect and love of your peers, that's what truly matters. I think after today, we can all see how great of a wrestler, a father, a husband and a man Mr. Brodie Lee was. Thankyou for the memories. Rest in Peace."

[10.0] "Sometimes the biggest testament isn't the in-ring work, although Brodie was incredibly talented in whatever role he played - it's what's said about him as a man, and the tributes from his indie peers, the WWE locker room and those he worked with in AEW say it all. The world was brighter with Jon Huber in it. Whether he was Big Rig in places like CHIKARA, CZW, EVOLVE and DGUSA, Luke Harper in the Wyatt Family, or The Exalted One of The Dark Order, he was special every time. You know what that means."

[9.0] "Believe it or not, I first got into pro wrestling via WWE's YT videos; the wrestler who impressed me the most, though, wasn't any of your typical big names -- not Cena, not Orton, not Rey ... but one by the name of Luke Harper, whose blend of power and agility was as unique as it was awe-inspiring. And as I started to go down this rabbit-hole, I oft thought to myself, 'Harper, Cesaro, Bryan, the Shield -- those should be perennial main-eventers in this company. ' And WWE's inability to push guys like him and Cesaro would lead to my gradual disinterest in the promotion. Nevertheless, I do take solace in the fact that Brodie, with his recent stint in AEW, at least got the opportunity to showcase, on the main stage, just how darn good he was: so short, yet so memorable. And so this entry isn't me riding the high waves of tributes and love for the man himself; he will always have a special place in my heart, for capturing my imagination during the infancy of my pro wrestling fandom. Thank you, Brodie, and rest easy."

[9.0] "Ever since I first saw him, I was captivated. His look & charisma drew me in right away, and then I quickly realized that he is one of the finest in-ring performers in the world with a real knack to the little finer details of what makes this business we love so amazing. Thank you for all the years of entertainment. May you rest well, Big Rig. You won't be forgotten."

[9.0] "There's going to be a lot of comments about him in the coming days, but he really was that good. Brodie Lee was always very good in the ring, but in AEW, he really got to show off his promo ability. It's a shame he passed so soon. He had finally reached a new level and it's going to be really hard to deal with his passing."

[10.0] "Wow ... don't even know what to say. 2020 was literally the most successful year he ever had as a wrestler (at least in terms of titles and standout matches), and then this shit happens. What a completely random and devastating loss for the sport. I've always said Brodie Lee was one of the most underrated wrestlers out there, and when he finally started getting the opportunity to shine in AEW earlier this year, I was so happy for him. By all accounts, he was amazing human being irl, a true class act, and had so much passion for the sport ... this just fucking sucks man. Can't believe it. Hope he is in a better place ... Easily one of the most underrated guys in the sport, but I am at least grateful he got to show the world what he was truly capable of before he went, even if only for a little while. And for the record, I'm rating him a 10 not because of his tragic passing, but because he was a truly special wrestler. He was one of the best big guys out there and was a phenomenal wrestler, and he also had great charisma, which was on full display in AEW. I honestly can't believe he's gone. The fact that he never got to hold a world title is just a huge missed opportunity ... Rest easy Brodie, thanks for everything man. You will be missed."

[9.0] "Earlier i have rated him 8 but i just can't stop myself and giving him more. This was tragic we were waiting for him to comeback and take his place again in AEW and this happened. He is no longer in this world but he will be missed by all of us"

[9.0] "We should be so lucky to have people like this participate and excel in the thing we love. People don't get this sad about wrestlers if they weren't great. Tell your kids you love them and watch more Brodie."

[9.0] "Brodie Lee was something special, his run in WWE was disappointing not because he could but because some dumb accent Vince wanted him to use. In AEW as the Exalted One his presents turned around the Dark Order and the world was able to see how good he really was. I am currently watching some of his biggest matches in CHIKARA, and I heard he was a star in Dragon Gate AND DG:USA as well and I wouldn't doubt it one bit. RIP Mr. Brodie Lee."
