13 Things We Learned From Luke Harper On Talk Is Jericho
9. Brodie Lee
Jericho asks what his name was when he was working in Japan and Luke responds that he always went by Brodie Lee prior to joining WWE. Chris assumes that it's due to his resemblance in look and style to Bruiser Brody but Harper corrects him and tells him it came from the Kevin Smith movie Mallrats. Although he's a huge Kevin Smith fan, Harper didn't choose the name for himself. While working ring crew for Ring of Honor - who he notes also never gave him a shot - he went out to a diner after a show and a guy named Ash told him he looked like Brodie from Mallrats and suggested the name. Jericho says he can see the resemblance and Luke tells him he should see his passport photo, that it's uncanny. He names Mallrats and Clerks as his favorites of the Kevin Smith films.
