Luke Harper Comments on Sixth Anniversary of His WWE Career

Luke Harper recently reflected on Twitter about this week being the sixth anniversary of his televised debut in WWE.

I made my @wwe tv debut 6 years ago today against Mike Dalton on @WWENXT. The last 6 years have been wonderful, fulfilling, frustrating and have helped shape who I am today. The journey has just begun and my goal remains to bring a World Heavyweight Championship home.

The newest Fan Council survey sent by the WWE asked fans for their opinions on what they consider to be their biggest criticisms of the company’s current product, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Some of the choices available included if the product is too heavily directed by corporate interests, storylines not having enough time to develop, lack of focus for certain great wrestlers who deserve better, promos being heavily scripted, lack of unique personalities on the main roster, lack of compelling stars in general, current champions not earning their spots, and if WWE shows are currently too long.

Misc. Wrestling News & Notes

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, ratings and viewership for this week’s episode of Impact! have been delayed until early next week.

Silas Young is among those in ROH who have yet to sign a new deal with the company, the Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer reported. WWE has been recently rumored to be very interested in Young as a possible member of their January 2019 class for the Performance Center.

Meltzer also reported in this week’s Newsletter that the recent talk in Japan regarding Hiromu Takahashi’s health status and in-ring return have not been good and it is now currently uncertain if he will ever be able to resume an in-ring career. Takahashi suffered a severe neck injury during his match against Dragon Lee at NJPW’s G1 Special 2018 event held last July in San Francisco.
