Oh, Harper will often eat more of the offence (because he's ''amazing'' at selling it) but Rowan is constantly made to look weak by the booking and is very rarely allowed to really do any actual ''wrestling.''

'''Joseph Ruud''' (born November 28, 1981) is an American [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestler]]. He is signed to Wrestling/{{WWE}}, where he performs under the ring name '''Erick Rowan'''. He is a former member of Wrestling/TheWyattFamily and is a one time Wrestling/NXT Tag Team Champion with his former tag team partner and Wyatt Family member Wrestling/LukeHarper.
Prior to being signed by WWE, Ruud competed in Japan, where he competed in both tag team and singles matches, albeit without much success. Following his tour in Japan, Ruud returned to the United States in 2008 and began competing under the ring name Thoruf Marius for the Minnesota-based F1rst Wrestling promotion.
In February 2011, Ruud signed a developmental contract with WWE and was assigned to their developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling under the ring name Erick Rowan, where he debuted as a member of the Wyatt Family.
On September 29, vignettes were shown of Harper and Rowan being "set free" by Wyatt, marking the dissolution of the Wyatt Family and the transition of its members into singles competition. A short time later, Rowan turned [[HeelFaceTurn face]] for the first time in his WWE career when he joined [[Wrestling/JohnCena Team Cena]] with fellow former heels Wrestling/DolphZiggler and Wrestling/{{Ryback}}, going after his former Wyatt Family member and then-Intercontinental Champion Luke Harper, who had joined Team Authority.
As per tradition, ThatOtherWiki has a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick_Rowan rundown]] of his life and career.
!!! "Tropeherder""
* AnimalMotifs: Fitting the Family's sheep motif, Rowan wears a child's sheep mask when not wrestling, and has kept it even after the dissolution of the Family.
* AscendedExtra: Initially a henchman to the charismatic Wrestling/BrayWyatt, Rowan has since become his own wrestler and given his own motif, much like Harper.
* BadassBeard: There was a reason Wrestling/TheBigShow referred to him as "The Upside-Down Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}."
* BaldOfAwesome: Though he more than makes up the difference in facial hair.
* CoolMask: Could also count as a WhiteMaskOfDoom.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A decidedly more harmless variant than his boss. He's ultimately very intelligent, but has a childlike approach on things.
* DarkIsNotEvil: In his {{face}} incarnation, Erick Rowan wears the attire he debuted in (sheep mask included), with the only change being that it's all black.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Rowan of all people coming out and joining Team Cena not only shocked Harper and Wrestling/TheAuthority, but ''Cena himself.''
* EvilIsBigger: During his time in the Family, Rowan came in at about 6'8" and was well over '''300 pounds,''' easily making him the biggest member.
* EvilRedhead: Obviously the "evil" part doesn't apply now.
* {{Expy}}: Erick Rowan could very well be considered an expy of [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]]. He's a tall, imposing figure who hides beneath a mask, says VERY little (he's only spoken one word after over two years of being a member of The Wyatt Family on the main roster: "Run"), and he tilts his head in a very similar fashion to Voorhees (and [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]] before him).
* FinishingMove: The Running Splash.
* HiddenDepths: According to Tom Phillip's research, Erick Rowan has a genius level IQ (143, allegedly) and is a guitar prodigy as well as an award-winning winemaker. To drive the point home, Rowan solved a Rubix cube ''during'' the (less-than-one-minute) interview in which this was revealed.
* LighterAndSofter: Definitely compared to the rest of the Wyatt Family. His theme music alone is this compared to his contemporaries'. Compared to Bray's creepy neo-bluesy "Broken Out Of Love" and Harper's distorted "Swamp Gas", Rowan's theme [[www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_lSm-JFac0 "Sheepherder"]] is a jolly little bluegrass number.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: The aforementioned sheep mask.
* MightyGlacier: Erick Rowan is the definition of this trope. 6'8", 320 pounds, and about as agile as you'd expect for someone that size that isn't named Wrestling/{{Kane}} or Wrestling/TheUndertaker. And when he hits you, ''you know it.'' Although he does have some moves in his arsenal that you wouldn't expect from somebody that big, like a spinning heel kick.
* TheQuietOne: Erick Rowan isn't much for talking, almost less so than his form partner Luke Harper. He's been a little more vocal since turning face, but his time with the family can be summed up in one word:
--> "'''Run.'''"
* TheRedBaron: An unofficial one could be "Big Red," [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin due to his sheer size and thick, red beard.]]
* ShutUpHannibal: One of the rare times he did speak was three choice words to the Big Show, who had recently turned against Team Cena and joined the Authority.
--> "'''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Hate. Bullies!]]'''"

'''Joseph Ruud''' (born November 28, 1981) is an American [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestler]]. He is signed to Wrestling/{{WWE}}, where he performs under the ring name '''Erick Rowan'''. He is a former member of Wrestling/TheWyattFamily and is a one time Wrestling/NXT Tag Team Champion with his former tag team partner and Wyatt Family member Wrestling/LukeHarper.
Prior to being signed by WWE, Ruud competed in Japan, where he competed in both tag team and singles matches, albeit without much success. Following his tour in Japan, Ruud returned to the United States in 2008 and began competing under the ring name Thoruf Marius for the Minnesota-based F1rst Wrestling promotion.
In February 2011, Ruud signed a developmental contract with WWE and was assigned to their developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling under the ring name Erick Rowan, where he debuted as a member of the Wyatt Family.
On September 29, vignettes were shown of Harper and Rowan being "set free" by Wyatt, marking the dissolution of the Wyatt Family and the transition of its members into singles competition. A short time later, Rowan turned [[HeelFaceTurn face]] for the first time in his WWE career when he joined [[Wrestling/JohnCena Team Cena]] with fellow former heels Wrestling/DolphZiggler and Wrestling/{{Ryback}}, going after his former Wyatt Family member and then-Intercontinental Champion Luke Harper, who had joined Team Authority.
As per tradition, ThatOtherWiki has a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erick_Rowan rundown]] of his life and career.
!!! "Tropeherder""
* AnimalMotifs: Fitting the Family's sheep motif, Rowan wears a child's sheep mask when not wrestling, and has kept it even after the dissolution of the Family.
* AscendedExtra: Initially a henchman to the charismatic Wrestling/BrayWyatt, Rowan has since become his own wrestler and given his own motif, much like Harper.
* BadassBeard: There was a reason Wrestling/TheBigShow referred to him as "The Upside-Down Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}."
* BaldOfAwesome: Though he more than makes up the difference in facial hair.
* CoolMask: Could also count as a WhiteMaskOfDoom.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A decidedly more harmless variant than his boss. He's ultimately very intelligent, but has a childlike approach on things.
* DarkIsNotEvil: In his {{face}} incarnation, Erick Rowan wears the attire he debuted in (sheep mask included), with the only change being that it's all black.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Rowan of all people coming out and joining Team Cena not only shocked Harper and Wrestling/TheAuthority, but ''Cena himself.''
* EvilIsBigger: During his time in the Family, Rowan came in at about 6'8" and was well over '''300 pounds,''' easily making him the biggest member.
* EvilRedhead: Obviously the "evil" part doesn't apply now.
* {{Expy}}: Erick Rowan could very well be considered an expy of [[Franchise/FridayThe13th Jason Voorhees]]. He's a tall, imposing figure who hides beneath a mask, says VERY little (he's only spoken one word after over two years of being a member of The Wyatt Family on the main roster: "Run"), and he tilts his head in a very similar fashion to Voorhees (and [[Franchise/{{Halloween}} Michael Myers]] before him).
* FinishingMove: The Running Splash.
* HiddenDepths: According to Tom Phillip's research, Erick Rowan has a genius level IQ (143, allegedly) and is a guitar prodigy as well as an award-winning winemaker. To drive the point home, Rowan solved a Rubix cube ''during'' the (less-than-one-minute) interview in which this was revealed.
* LighterAndSofter: Definitely compared to the rest of the Wyatt Family. His theme music alone is this compared to his contemporaries'. Compared to Bray's creepy neo-bluesy "Broken Out Of Love" and Harper's distorted "Swamp Gas", Rowan's theme [[www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_lSm-JFac0 "Sheepherder"]] is a jolly little bluegrass number.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: The aforementioned sheep mask.
* MightyGlacier: Erick Rowan is the definition of this trope. 6'8", 320 pounds, and about as agile as you'd expect for someone that size that isn't named Wrestling/{{Kane}} or Wrestling/TheUndertaker. And when he hits you, ''you know it.'' Although he does have some moves in his arsenal that you wouldn't expect from somebody that big, like a spinning heel kick.
* TheQuietOne: Erick Rowan isn't much for talking, almost less so than his form partner Luke Harper. He's been a little more vocal since turning face, but his time with the family can be summed up in one word:
--> "'''Run.'''"
* TheRedBaron: An unofficial one could be "Big Red," [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin due to his sheer size and thick, red beard.]]
* ShutUpHannibal: One of the rare times he did speak was three choice words to the Big Show, who had recently turned against Team Cena and joined the Authority.
--> "'''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I. Hate. Bullies!]]'''"
* SleevesAreForWimps: His very farmer-like jumpsuit.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Despite being eliminated from the 2015 Royal Rumble, he showed up anyway, attacking Wrestling/CurtisAxel before his chance to get in the ring and briefly sparking a Wyatt Family reunion.
