The WWE recently posted an article that displayed the 10 hottest free agents for RAW and Smackdown LIVE. The list featured some big names like the Rock and the Undertaker. It also featured some former WWE stars like Cryme Tyme and Carlito. During a recent interview with the Chad Dukes Wrestling Show, Luke Harper spoke about his displeasure with some of their rankings.
Harper begins by sharing his displeasure of being ranked lower than Cryme Tyme
“When you put a list of the ten hottest free agents available in today’s market, and I mean no offense to them, but when Cryme Tyme ranks above you, it really makes you question your career choices” (Source: Chad Dukes Wrestling Show).
The interviewer jokes about Heath Slater being the hottest free agent in sports entertainment, Harper responds:
“Listen, I don’t want to talk about Heath Slater, he’s been beaten down by Rhyno and Jinder Mahal. So I don’t want to talk about that, but Cryme Tyme couldn’t be more irrelevant to today’s wrestling scene. So for them to rank above me, it’s a bit of a slap in the face” (Source: Chad Dukes Wrestling Show).
Harper goes on to say that he thinks he will be WWE champ one day:
“I believe that I will be the WWE World Champion one day. I know that a lot of people say that, it’s easy to say, if I were to go away without accomplishing that task I would feel unfulfilled, to be completely honest… So for Cryme Tyme to rank above me, when I think that of myself, it becomes a bit of an issue inside my own brain” (Source: Chad Dukes Wrestling Show).

Can’t wait for him to be back and with a chip on his shoulder! I don’t know about anyone else but I would really enjoy Harper as a singles competitor. Harper suffered a knee injury back in March and is scheduled to be back around September. I agree with him though, he should be ranked much higher, even if the list is a bit of a joke.
I would like to see him wrestle on his own. I’m not sure about the whole World Champion part, but at least that’s his attitude. As for the list, it is kind of insulting to put a bunch of bums ahead of him even if the list is meant for humor.
Watch some of his matches when he wrestled under The name Brody Lee. Definitely championship material.
If he comes back and wrestles with an attitude I can see him doing big things.
