I wanted to dedicate my column to my friend Jon Huber (also known as Luke Harper/Brodie Lee).
It’s hard to put into words how the news of Huber’s passing has affected myself and the entire wrestling community. When I first heard the news that Jon had passed away, I couldn’t believe it, as he was such a good friend to so many of us. We all loved him and I had a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that our friend is gone.
As an in-ring performer, Huber was someone that was a master at his craft. He loved competing in the ring and worked for years to make it to WWE. I think what made him so relatable to myself and so many of us backstage was because of how much he persevered in his life to chase his dreams.
I’ve been watching Jon’s matches back, some of my favourites against The Usos, New Day and The Shield. They remind me of how talented Jon was in the ring. He was so good! He was such an agile performer especially for someone as big as he was physically. He could do it all.
As much as Huber was a master at his craft in the ring, he was also a master of balancing life outside the ring. Jon loved his family so much, and that was always very evident to anyone who spent time with him. That’s what I loved the most about him, the way he would talk so lovingly about his wife and kids. He always was so excited to get back home to them. He loved being a dad.
I remember there was a show he wasn’t booked to wrestle on, in Rochester, N.Y., his hometown. Jon asked WWE management if he could be added to the show so his son could watch him wrestle. When Jon walked into the Blue Cross arena in Rochester with his family in tow, it made me smile from ear to ear. We all could see what was the most important to Jon in his life, his family. Jon really wanted to make them proud and that he did!
That night in Rochester, Brodie Jr. got to watch his dad compete in the ring and his dad was his superhero. I remember little Brodie beaming when his dad came backstage from his match, in awe of is his dad. Huber was so proud of his sons and his wife.

Despite a profound desire to forge her own path, there's no denying that Natalya possesses the "hart" to reach new heights in the ring. Whether creating havoc as part of The Hart Dynasty, executing the family Sharpshooter or stepping out on her own to capture the Divas Championship, the fiery third-generation Diva has shown time-and-time again that the legendary Pink & Black legacy is safe in her hands.
