WWE Superstar Luke Harper recently did an interview with Rochester First to talk about several professional wrestling topics. Harper first discussed his old job as a librarian while chasing his dream of becoming a professional wrestler:
“My wife told me she was pregnant and I lost my job, I was a librarian at Frederick Douglas Middle School and so I thought the world was over and they called and said, “Hey, can you come for a trial and I said, ‘No, I have a broken leg,’”
It turns out Harper was ready to walk away from professional wrestling when his wife became pregnant. Harper intended to find a real job to support his family, but that’s the same day WWE came calling:
“My wife was 8 months pregnant and I was just coming back from Japan and I said, ‘Honey, I’m done, this is it, I’m just going to go get another real job and we’ll make do here,’ and that’s the day (WWE called saying), ‘Hey, can you come for a tryout?’”
