For those of my fellow wrestling fans, Jonathan Huber, AKA Brodie Lee/Luke Harper just died about 10 minutes ago. 41 years old.

Worst year ever.

Just saw that....R.I.P. Mr. Huber. Met him after a show once and he couldn't have been nicer to my kids. Sometimes you forget those guys have families as well.

Damn. Tremendous talent, and by all accounts an even better person. I have followed his career since his ROH days and he was always one of my favorite performers. My heart breaks for his wife and family and friends. RIP.

I am sure those of you have replied to this thread already have gone to the dirt sheet sites and know the details already However for of those of you who came to the thread out of curiosity I thought I would leave some of the details.  According to his wife's IG post it was a non Covid related lung issue and was surrounded by his loved ones.

On side note, it is amazing how much news I hear about first right here on MGO.

As a wrestling fan, I'm absolutely gutted to see a guy in his prime cut short like this, especially since by all accounts, he was a wonderful human being and a terrific father.  Can't even begin to imagine the pain of his family, especially since he passed so close to Christmas.  Between this and the tragic loss of Shad Gaspard (who drowned earlier this year saving his sons life) this has been an awful awful year for wrestling fans.  Truly wish his family and friends peace and love in this most trying of times, and RIP to Jonathon Huber, aka Mr. Brodie Lee.

 

Fuck this year completely and utterly in every single way

There's very few good character actors in today's wrestling.  I loved the 90's/Attitude Era wrestling but lost interest in all of it aside from a few select names of today.  The Wyatt Family stuff was pretty cool and sort of a throwback to the cool gimmicks.  He was a huge part of that and it sounds like he was a great guy outside of his excellence as a wrestler/personality.

 

41 way too young..

He is the cousin of my college roommate, and from my hometown.  He came into my restaurant multiple times and couldn't have been any more humble, accommodating, and personable to every fan that recognized him
