Harper informs that although you mightn’t like every idea presented to you by WWE officials, you need to dive in and give 100% in order to make the idea work. A couple of years ago he was told by officials that he and Erick Rowan were done as a tag team because there was nothing else for them to do, but after just a short period of time they were paired up again and now they’re tag team Champions.
He recalls McMahon presenting him and Rowan with the idea for The Bludgeon Brothers. McMahon told them that he wanted them to carry around huge mallets and for a split second Harper thought, “It’s 2018, what are we doing?”, but then he switched his mindset completely and then he thought it was awesome.
Harper informs that he worked with Dean Ambrose in his WWE tryout match. He had worked with Ambrose many times before on the independent scene and they always had great matches together, and his tryout match turned out great. Still, he was sure that WWE wouldn’t be interested in him because he was 32, bald and not in great shape. To his surprise he received a call from the company and they told him that they wanted to hire him.
