10 WWE High School Yearbook Photos The Superstars Don't Want You To See

Luke Haper High School Photo How does such a charming young man grow up to be one of the troubled Wyatt Family? Harper, real name Jonathan Huber, was born on December 16, 1979 and grew up in Rochester New York. He was trained by Kirby Marcos and Rik Matrix in his hometown before going on to the slightly more recognisable name of Tony Mamaluke in Schenectady. Huber cites Rick Rude, Jake Roberts and Big Show as his big influences but it is hard to ignore the Bruiser Brodie in both his appearance and style. Huber made his professional wrestling debut for Roc City Wrestling in 2002 as the masked Huberboy #2. In 2003 he changed his name to Brodie Lee, the name most independent fans know him by, and continued to turn out for Roc City. He would go on to win multiple titles in RCW including the Heavyweight Championship on three occasions, the Tag Team Championship once and the Television Championship once, which he would also proceed to unify with the Kayfabe Dojo Championship. Following his departure from RCW in 2007 he enjoyed spells in Chikara, Squared Circle Wrestling, Ring of Honour, Jersey All Pro Wrestling, Evolve and the two Dragon Gate promotions. Harper signed a developmental deal with WWE in early 2012 and his rise to the top has been rapid but doesn't look like slowing up.
