This one’s a fairly obvious comparison to make, largely because it’s rammed down our throats at every possible turn whenever JBL’s on commentary.

Yes, Luke Harper most definitely has a lot to thank Bruiser Brody for. When looking at Harper’s erratic, aggressive offense and his psychotic mannerisms, it’s impossible not to think back to the legendary Brody. But then again, these days it seems almost lazy and easy to compare any big, aggressive guy with a beard to Brody.

With Harper, it’s a little more warranted because he’s a hugely talented performer and one that is filled with massive potential and someone who could be huge if utilised correctly over the next few years. In a world of Bruiser Brody imitators, Luke Harper is certainly the real deal.
