About Brodie Lee in brief
Jonathan Huber was an American professional wrestler and actor. He was best known for his time in WWE under the ring names Luke Harper and Harper. Huber also worked on the independent circuit as Brodie Lee. He died on December 26, 2020 at the age of 41 in Jacksonville, Florida, after hospitalization for lung problems. He came up with the name Brodie from the movie Mallrats by combining the names of actor Jason Lee and his character Brodie Bruce, though his style and appearance have also brought comparisons to Bruiser Brody. He made his debut for Philadelphia-based Chikara on March 24, 2007, at Time Will Prove Everything, using the ‘The Right Stuff’ gimmick. In August, Lee aligned himself with the Olsen Twins and adopted the nickname ‘Big Rig’ and a more serious gimmick of a trucker. He left WWE in December 2019, subsequently making his AEW debut in March 2020 as ‘Mr.Brodie Lee’ and revealing himself to be the previously anonymous leader of The Dark Order faction. Lee won the AEW TNT Championship in August of that year. He also appeared in Dragon Gate USA and internationally for Dragon Gate in Japan. He attended McQuaid Jesuit High School and played lacrosse for four years, he also played hockey in independent youth leagues. He went on to win multiple championships including the heavyweight championship on three separate occasions, the tag team championship once and the television championship once, which he also proceeded to unify with the Kayfabe Dojo Championship.
Lee was also known for not being pinned nor submitting that lasted for the rest of the year, starting a streak of not being pinned nor submitting. Lee turned on Jimmy Olsen in the process of ending his alliance with him as cy m. Castagnoli in April 2008, issuing a challenge to him for breaking up The Kings of Kings Wrestling’s feud with Mitch Ryder. This led to a grudge match on July 13, 2008, which led to Lee’s disqualification for kicking the referee of the match for accidentally kicking him in the face. Lee and the Olsen twins were scheduled to enter the 2008 King of Trios tournament as Team Dr. Keith, but after Colin signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment, the team was left one man short. A random draw picked Retail Dragon as Lee’s replacement, and he dropped the deciding fall in their opening round match against Cheech, Cloudech, and Cloud KZ, while simultaneously ending his alliances with Jimmy Olsen. Lee returned to the ring two months later, defeating Equinox in a rematch and starting a string of not be pinned nor submitted that lasted until May 24, 2008. Lee also won the NWA Upstate and NWA New York heavyweight championship in 2008. He later won the Tag Team Championship in 2009 with the team of Mitch Ryder and Shayne Hawke after interference from Mitch Hawke and Mitch Ryder, both of whom had previously won the previous year’s Kings of the Kings Wrestling match.
