#6 Luke Harper
Luke Harper is an incredibly skilled wrestler, far more technically sound and athletic than his slovenly appearance would suggest.
In his early career, he called himself Brodie Lee, a direct reference to King Kong Brody. Indeed, given his size, power, and agility for a big man, the comparisons run deep.
However, unlike the volatile Brody, who often rubbed both promoters and his fellow wrestlers the wrong way, Luke Harper is one of the most pleasant people backstage and is friends with just about everyone.
He's been a mid-card champion and tag team champion, but really he's capable of so much more. WWE fans have chanted "This is Awesome" during a Luke Harper match on more than one occasion, meaning he has the right stuff to be world champion.
Why he deserves to be Universal or WWE Champion
Luke Harper is a fantastic 'big man' wrestler who can also utilize offense you expect from a much smaller athlete, like his amazing standing dropkick.
He's already more popular with the fans than WWE gives him credit for, and upon his return from injury, they would be well served to elevate him to the next level.
