History Trivia / LukeHarper

** [[https://metro.co.uk/2021/02/20/aew-jon-moxley-planned-brodie-lee-tag-team-before-stars-tragic-death-14117045/ In an interview,]] Jon Moxley stated he had wanted to eventually form a tag team and was considering having Brodie be his partner.

** On Chris Jericho's podcast, Brodie reveals that, prior to leaving the WWE, he had pitched two different ways to reimagine the Luke Harper character. The first was to turn to him into a serial killer-esque "collecter" who took things from the opponents he defeated. The other was to become an "intelligent monster" who would [[BreakThemByTalking break his opponents just by talking to them.]] Both ideas were disregarded by the WWE.

** Fellow AEW tag team [[Wrestling/TheRevival FTR]] renamed their "Goodnight Express" finisher to the "Big Rig", in reference to Brodie's indie gimmick.
** Fellow AEW wrestler Wrestling/ChrisJericho and former WWE rivals Wrestling/TheNewDay devoted the first episodes of their respective podcasts following his passing eulogising Brodie.

** The December 30, 2020 episode of ''[[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling AEW Dynamite]]'' was a tribute show to Brodie Lee, with all the matches on the card featuring most of the Wrestling/DarkOrder[[note]]5 was the sole exception, as he sat ringside with Brodie Jr all night[[/note]] as faces, in addition to a six-man tag team match in which a team of his son's favourite wrestlers (Wrestling/CodyRhodes, Orange Cassidy and 10) took on Team Taz. Additionally, AEW retired the TNT Championship belt that Brodie had held and handed it to the Huber family, with a redesigned belt debuting on the following episode. AEW also began regularly using his infamous Twitter {{Catchphrase}} ("It's Wednesday. You know what that means.") in network advertisements and to open each episode.

* ShortLivedBigImpact: His AEW run lasted just fourteen matches across seven months, from his debut in March to losing the TNT Championship in October, after which he was absent from the company until his death. In that short time he challenged for the World Championship, successfully captured the TNT Championship, and helped elevate the [[Wrestling/TheDarkOrder Dark Order]] into a credible heel faction after they had a rocky start.
