History Wrestling / BrodieLee

[[quoteright:252:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brodielee_9557.jpg]]

'''Jon Huber''' (b. 1979) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er from Rochester, [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkState NY]] best known for his work in Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} as '''Brodie Lee''' and is currently in Wrestling/{{WWE}} as '''Luke Harper''' of Wrestling/TheWyattFamily. He debuted in late 2002 in the upstate New York independent scene where he competed until he arrived in CHIKARA in 2007. His original gimmick was based on the Music/NewKidsOnTheBlock, and he was billed as "The Right Stuff" Brodie Lee. This ended at ''Here Come the International Invaders- Attack of the Phantom Sith'', August 17, 2007, when he introduced his new trucker gimmick 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. Lee has also competed for Wrestling/RingOfHonor, [[Wrestling/DragonGate Dragon Gate[=/=]Dragon Gate USA]], Wrestling/{{CZW}} 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]].

!!! "Big Rig Tropes":
* BadassBeard[=/=]BeardOfEvil: The Wyatt Family is a trio of evil bearded individuals. Brodie Lee wasn't much better, what with being the servant of a railroad spike wielding "zombie princess".
* BaldOfAwesome: Luke Harper has a variant of this with a noticeable bald spot on top of his head. That bald spot is actually a scar left over from a particularly nasty chairshot he took during his indy wrestling days, but he liked the way it looked and kept it rather than having it repaired.
* BigYes: Constantly shouts "YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH" while wrestling in WWE. In NXT it was more of a subdued, cult-like chant, but is much louder on ''Raw'' and ''[=SmackDown!=]'', possibly due to the size of the arenas.
* BondageIsBad: Luke Harper's black handkerchief in his back left pocket marks him in the [[TotallyRadical somewhat outdated]] handkerchief code as a BDSM top.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.
* TheBrute: For Age of the Fall in ROH and for Blood WARRIORS in Dragon Gate.
* TheBully: Back in 2008, he would push around the smaller CHIKARA wrestlers, leading to Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli standing up to him and a short feud, which Castagnoli won by defeating Lee in CHIKARA's first-ever cage match.
* {{Cult}}: The Wyatt Family
* DeepSouth: His gimmick as Luke Harper. Harper doesn't have a hometown currently in WWE, and in NXT he was billed from Butte, Montana. He's actually from upstate New York. Then again, the major difference between upstate New York and the deep south is the weather...
* 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.)
* FinishingMove: Big Boot, Running Liger Bomb, Brodie Bomb, Truck Stop (Spinning sit out side slam), Discus Clothesline.
* GhostTown: The Wyatt Family is billed from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Bight,_Florida Snake Bight, FL]], which is a real place.
* {{Jerkass}}: One of his shticks was refusing to play along with the normal CHIKARA tomfoolery. For example when a spontaneous baseball game broke out during a Throwbacks match, instead of playing along he just decked the nearest opponent with an open hand slap. To say nothing of the way he treated Grizzly Redwood when they teamed.
** 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.
* LightningBruiser: He's 6'5, 262 lbs. and can do dropkicks and hurricanranas.
** Hell, he can even dive between the ropes to get at someone!
* PowerStable:
** (in ROH): The Age of the Fall
** (in EVOLVE): Akuma's Army
** (in Dragon Gate): [=WARRIORS=], Blood WARRIORS
*** (in Dragon Gate USA): WARRIORS International
* PowerTrio: Age Of The Fall was cut down to a just him, Wrestling/JimmyJacobs and Wrestling/{{MsChif}}(not counting stragglers outside of ROH) The Wyatt Family was a trio for most of its existence too.
* PunnyName: His double team finisher with Grizzly Redwood, ''The Truck Stops Here''.
* PutOnABus: He was in the running to be CHIKARA's Big Bad of 2012 when he was abruptly signed by WWE. So he lost a title match against Wrestling/EddieKingston and vanished. He, of course, went on to become Luke Harper.
* 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"
* RedBaron: "The Right Stuff," "Big Rig"
* SignatureMove: Brodie Lee's choke suplex and double under hook superplex, Luke Harper's Gator Roll
* TagTeam:
** (in NWA Upstate): Big 'N Tasty, with Freddie Midnight
** (in Alpha-1 Wrestling): The Convoy
** [=CloudLee=], with Cloudy
** The Hillbilly Wrecking Crew, with Necro Butcher and Trevor Murdoch
** The Roughnecks, with Eddie Kingston and Grizzly Redwood
** The Miracle [=Ultraviolence=] Connection, with Cheech and Cloudy
* TookALevelInBadass: When he switched to the trucker gimmick.
* {{Tuckerization}}: He took the name "Brodie Lee" from the movie ''Film/{{Mallrats}}'', by combining Creator/JasonLee's last name with the first name of his character, Brodie Bruce.
* WrestlingDoesntPay: A wrestling trucker as Brodie Lee.

* PowerTrio: Age Of The Fall was cut down to a just him, Wrestling/JimmyJacobs and Wrestling/{{MsChif}}(not counting stragglers outside od ROH) The Wyatt Family was a trio for most of its existence too.
