In an interview with The Chad Dukes Wrestling Show, Luke Harper commented on WWE’S article about the top free agents that haven’t been drafted yet: LH: When you put a list of the ten hottest free agents available in today’s market, and I mean no offense to them, but when Cryme Tyme ranks above you, it really makes you question your career choices. Harper was asked about the free agent storyline with Heath Slater and here was Harper’s response: L.H: Listen, I don’t want to talk about Heath Slater, he’s been beaten down by Rhyno and Jinder Mahal. So I don’t want to talk about that, but Cryme Tyme couldn’t be more irrelevant to today’s wrestling scene. So for them to rank above me, it’s a bit of a slap in the face. I believe that I will be the WWE World Champion one day. I know that a lot of people say that, it’s easy to say, if I were to go away without accomplishing that task I would feel unfulfilled, to be completely honest… So for Cryme Tyme to rank above me, when I think that of myself, it becomes a bit of an issue inside my own brain….. credit: THE SpOtLight www.gerweck.net/2016/08/14/when-cryme-tyme-ranks-above-you-it-really-makes-you-question-your-career-choices/ |

I'd be pissed too if Cryme Tyme was ranked ahead of me in any sort of list the WWE did. Luke Harper has always been the best out of the whole Wyatt Family so he certainly deserves better. But on the other hand, it's just some stupid wwe.com list that Vince and folks probably have no idea even exists.

I ASSUME they left Harper off the list because they want fans to forget about him. They want him to be an afterthought. Then when he returns, nobody will see it coming.
Or they're just stupid and I'm way off.

I wouldn't be shocked if Cryme Tyme appeared at NXT Takeover in Brooklyn, since you know.... "Brooklyn Brooklyn" is in their song.
Cryme Tyme did absolute jack crap in the WWE. For a cup of coffee they were with John Cena as the CTC gang and that lasted maybe 2 weeks??
Luke Harper is awesome! If he got away from Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family crap and was just back to being Luke Harper - a semi-truck driver, like he was as Big Brodie Lee on the indy scene, then I think Luke could be a star. He has the talent, size and ability to be one. And he is a former IC Champion, so he has that going for him.

Harper is better than Bray and I honestly believe he could be a huge player in the future.

People really need to see his Brodie Lee stuff.
This guy has the makings of an old school heel monster. Gives a crapabout nothing and no one and does what he wants.

The only good thing about Cryme Tyme was the how long has JTG been employed by WWE website.

They're giving Strowman the singles push that Harper, in all honesty, deserves. Instead they'll bring him back and shove him beside Rowan to rot away.

Ugh. He's gonna get future endeavored saying stuff like that if he's not careful. that were my first thoughts as well reading his comments. the guy is a great performer, there's no doubt about it. i really thought that ladder match he had with ziggler for the ic belt would be the next big step for both those guys, but it just seemed like it didn't even matter within a few weeks. i have no idea how his talking abilities are, but the dude can go in the ring. |

Whether he's shooting here, or trying to work a shoot, i can't say that i disagree with him. I mean Cryme Tyme amounted to nothing in their two stints in the company. Harper has already accomplished more and made more of a name for himself. If they want to get some mileage out of Harper, they should book him as the modern day answer to Bruiser Brody. Even in the less violent wrestling world that WWE is today, a character like that could easily get over. While Strowman is getting a generic monster heel push on Raw, Harper should return with an out of control madman push (ala Brody) on SD.

Cryme Tyme were terrible. They clearly don't value Harper the way that they need to, so I assume they're just going to immediately put him back with the family and tag him with Rowan for the rest of his life. He should have always been the Wyatt family monster, the one who doesn't lose...but they started him as the Buddy, which should've been Rowans job. He should be Bray's general, and the one who leads the heel cell once Bray goes face (we all know it's going to happen eventually). Harper is a scary monster, but more than anything an incredible worker.
I love the passion he clearly has in this interview. WWE company line #4 has to do with passion and brass rings, and all that bs... but the truth is they don't want a guy with passion. they want a guy whose going to shut up, be a good lil soldier, and swallow what they are given. Unfortunately a lot of guys don't see how undervalued they are until they wake up one day and see that they mean less than a jobber tag team who hasn't even worked there in 5 years. I didn't want to see Cody go, but I'm glad he's no longer a prisoner to the system. I'd hate to see Harper go, but if the writing is on the wall I'd rather see him reach his goals elsewhere. I'll never forgive WWE for wasting Cody, and I feel exactly the same way about Harper.

Luke Harper has every right to be mad. He's arguably the most underrated superstar in WWE.
