Luke Harper briefly talks about his movie, but also discusses how his frustration of doing nothing led to the Bludgeon Brothers, as well as his infamous dirty tank top he used to wear to the wrestling ring. Here are some highlights from the interview:
His new movie, Mohawk:
"I think that this a period piece that is not your typical good guy's bad guys, white man chasing Native American story. It is a relevant story to what's happening in today's world and it is a thought-provoking piece that will make you wonder who's good and who's bad."
On how The Bludgeon Brothers came to life:
"That came about with me and [Rowan] being frustrated with sitting backstage. Meeting with Vince [McMahon] and brainstorming to the point that this was born. And basically, when he told us we could carry giant mallets around, we said, 'Sold!'"
On his dirty white tank top:
"If you're a fan of Indie wrestling at all, you can go back to I think 2007 - 2008 and you can see me wrestle CHIKARA. And you can see me wrestle in a tank top and you can see me wrestle in a tank top that doesn't look like the one I have in WWE. But it's the same one.... People don't believe me. I have three tank tops which I wrung terribly, fixed them many times. I had people rip them in the ring and swear at them and I'd fix them. And they're hanging in my closet now... always washed.
"So back in CHIKARA, I used to have to wipe the floors with them to get them to fall apart and eventually after so many washes the color would just stick, and I kept them. So a lot of people don't believe me but it's very true. Ask, my wife she is not happy about it."
