Luke Harper (aka Brodie Lee) was recently interviewed on Talk Is Jericho. During the podcast, he opened up about his departure from WWE.
Harper ended up sharing a few ideas that he had pitched to Vince McMahon. These were ideas for where WWE could have taken his character but they were all rejected.
Here is what he said (h/t to 411 Mania for the quotes below):
“I wanted to be a collector of some sort, almost like, I’m very into serial killers, and stuff like that, so I wanted to collect something from each person I would beat, and then the problem just become that I wasn’t beating anybody, so it’s hard to collect from people to do that.
I also wanted to be maybe a smart monster, a very intelligent monster, where I can speak like I do in a very intelligent way and break my opponents down in a certain way that I wasn’t doing in the Wyatt Family, and then just have the same matches I was having, and look the same exact way, so be this slovenly character but just very also intelligent, almost like a Bruiser Brody, and again, I just don’t think he [Vince McMahon] could see that way of talking.”
Let me know what you think in the comment section below or on Twitter.
