First of all, R.I.P. to a guy who more or less overperformed all expectations of him. He was a big man who was agile. He was a decent talker and had incredible facial expressions. You believed the guy was nuts, which is hard to do in an era where everyone is edgy and it's all play and pretend. And so much of his shit looked devastating and brutal.
I remember when it was Brothers of Destruction vs. Two Members of the Wyatt Family I joked "OK, so who's teaming with Harper?" Because he was such a good worker. Call me a cynical asshole, but if this somehow turns into some attack on Cornette because he was joking about how Lee was missing for a while (not knowing he was sick), the parties involved can go fuck themselves sideways with a chainsaw. |

Wow, I know he has been off TV but damn. Wonder if he had lung cancer or Sarcoidosis. I have to think he would have had to pass a physical to sign with AEW, so whatever it was it was fast. RIP

He would’ve had a physical yes but unfortunately not all cancers are created equal. Some are barely detectable until they become advanced and therefore far harder to manage/operate on.
No idea what happened to him but he might’ve been a dead man walking for most/all of his AEW run. And the fact is it could happen to anyone and that’s what makes it such scary shit. |

If it was cancer related, could have been something that was in remission until recently like what happened with Roman Reigns and his leukemia a couple years ago. In Reigns' case, he was very lucky it was detected very quickly and was the treatable type.

If RAW doesn't do a salute to him, I hope Vince and his wife burn alive. I pray to baby jesus they burn in this life.

I caught my local weatherwoman saying something that a wrestler died and jumped on here. Didn't think it would be Brodie Lee.

What a strange world we live in now that his wife made it a point to say it was "Non-Covid related". What a weird friggen year.

People on the web starting rumors that he died from popcorn lung due to vaping even though that doesn't actually cause popcorn lung.

Say what you will about Dynamite but the crowds were red hot pretty much every week for the first five and a half months before the pandemic shows.
Gutting that he never got to perform in front of one of those crowds in AEW. |

His match with Mox for the title was one of my favorite matches of the year. When he smashed Cody I was so hyped. I wished his reign would've been longer. I am looking forward to knowing the details and timeline of his illness. Jon Silver said he was waiting daily for a positive update. I vaguely remember when he was taken off TV Meltzer said he was taking time off for a non injury related illness if I remember correctly. I was definitely looking forward to his return to Dynamite and his next story. This really sucks.

Luke Harper should have been in the WWE Title match at WrestleMania 33.

But then instead of being involved in the main event in any way he just disappeared from TV for many months only to re-emerge tagged with Rowan again. |

This is sad. I liked him in The Wyatt Family. You always felt he was underused. It’s also bizarre.

What’s extra sad is that in the outpouring of colleagues mourning him, barely any of them have brought up his career. He was obviously very talented...but it’s clear he meant a lot more to a lot of people. Always talked about his wife and kids, and was a great friend to everyone he worked with.

Expectation is that all participation in this week’s Dynamite and Dark tapings will be optional. AEW still deciding whether or not to do a video package etc for him and keep the rest of the episode as is, or just pause storylines for a week and do a full blown tribute show with talent that want to participate.

Been wanting to get a new wrestling shirt for some time ever since the Dark Order shirt I own shrank too much to comfortably wear anymore because I forgot a few times to not put it in a dryer. |

2020 has felt like forever. It wasn't until today I realized Brodie was only in AEW for like 6 or 7 months. I started thinking about his WWE performances because of the ongoing tweets. This guy was apart of some fantastic stuff in WWE. Yes of course the ladder match, that was amazing. But also the amount of great tag team matches with Rowan and arguably the best six man tags of all time with The Wyatt Family. Those matches I think started against Punk, Bryan and Kane... Maybe Ryback was involved too I can't really remember. But then with The Sheild. They developed a match formula that WWE relied on for a few years to get through a large chunk of 3 hours of Raw in an exciting way.
