We all wore them in tribute to the dude, cause everybody loved him," wrote Jericho on Instagram. "Just a wonderful man and a kickass worker....we never had a bad match and I probably worked with him 50 times. I was a big fan of his and even helped bring him into @allelitewrestling...where he did the best work of his career in a very short time." "I’m gonna try to find that goofy fuckkn shirt and if I do, I’m going to hang it on my wall so I can be reminded daily what a legit great person looks like. Thanks Jon...you were one in a million and a true brother’s brother." Prior to joining AEW, Huber wrestled in WWE as Luke Harper, part of the Wyatt Family.
