Luke Harper was the special guest on Chris Jericho's podcast "Talk is Jericho", in which he revealed details about his life before becoming a WWE wrestler and a member of the terrifying Wyatt Family.

The member of the Wyatt Family revealed a completely unknown facet of his personality, confessing that before wrestling for WWE, he worked as a Librarian in a school. Although Chris Jericho joked about imagining him with a tie and suit, Harper said he looked exactly as we see him now.

During the interview, Harper revealed that he auditioned with the company about nineteen times before being hired, and he was ready to give up, as he was over thirty years old. But when everything seemed to be over, he received a call from Joey Mercury, who invited him to have a match against Dean Ambrose. Harper later rejected a call from John Laurinaitis because his wife was giving birth and he thought he had missed the golden opportunity. Fortunately, he was able to communicate with John and make it to the company.
Harper has become a reference wrestler today and has also built a good relationship with his colleagues and bosses backstage; all of that, along with his great performance, ensures at least for a while his stay in WWE.
