John Huber, known better to wrestling fans as Brodie Lee and Luke Harper, tragically passed away this past weekend at 41. Now during this week’s edition of his podcast “What Happened When,” Tony Schiavone spoke about finding out about Huber’s death on a quickly scheduled Zoom call and discussed Tony Khan and AEW taking care of Huber’s family before and after he passed. Additionally, he revealed Hubie’s eight-year-old son had signed an official contract with AEW, which will become official once he turns 18.
Knowing that Brodie was very sick and knowing it was holiday time, and I guess knowing that for him to kick out, it was going to be, I don’t want to say a miracle, but it was going to be very difficult to kick out. They had brought little Brodie to TV, and wrestling is his life. He is eight years old. He really is a great kid. They made him a member of The Dark Order. They put a mask on him. He came out with a kendo stick. He beat up a lot of people. This, of course, was at a TV taping with nobody in the audience. They signed him to a contract. They legitimately signed him to a contract, and when he gets of age, he will be with AEW. They have taken care of him, and he follows guys around all the time in the back, and he becomes a part of us.Tony Schiavone
While nothing will ever make up for losing a father or husband, it is tremendous that AEW is doing all they can to support the Huber family, not only now but long-term. Perhaps one day, we’ll get to see Brodie Lee Jr. complete on Dynamite and deliver a discus lariat in memory to his father.
