10 Wrestlers Who Destroyed Their Careers On Live TV
1. Luke Harper - Monday Night Raw, November 11th 2014
Wrestling apocrypha has it that Vince McMahon lost interest in Luke Harper forever after witnessing the former Wyatt Family member knock out a pretty horrific Southern states accent - despite having little f*cking room to comment after his own efforts years earlier.
It was the above promo that sealed his fate, but naturally there was more meat on the bone than the scrapings Vince McMahon took for his steak wrap. This was a segment that made very little sense from a general period that made even less - 2014's Survivor Series main event featuring a bunch of heels and faces deciding if they were with or against The Authority (before changing their minds on the night, in one case) and the stipulations being meaningless within a month was hardly solid foundation with which to grow. But Harper's wonky delivery of wonkier material was enough, sadly.
As of writing, rumours are rife that he'll return to wrestling under his former moniker Brodie Lee and knock the industry clean on its a*se with just how good he is. Imagine a wild and dated McMahon prejudice not actually being valid after all?
