Unfortunately theres no Embed for this vid, but Trevor Murdoch has always had the Southern/ Redneck gimmick. I thought it was kinda funny that BDC mentioned Trevor the other day in the Mens Bodies post and on the main page they have an article about him not recieving a WWE contract because of "budget cuts". Do you have any thoughts, opinions, remarks, ideas on Tevor Muchdoch? I thought he was good in the ring with Lance Cade, he's pretty much perfected that gimmick. As far as seeing him back in the WWE, considering they are releasing younger, better shape wrestlers, I dont see a point in bringing him back. I'd like to see a heel Deliverance character (maybe throw in Skippy and make them a tag team) but I also dont see that dark of a gimmick in WWE today

I knew there would be a thread on this guy. Trevor Murdoch had an absolutely horrible look, his gimmick is so tired i wanna cry. If Trevor Murdoch was never seen on a TV screen ever again anywhere i dont think even one person would give a shit. He sucked so so much, i dont even care that he was a decent wrestler, all he was was average at best, he is no loss to WWE, he would be no big deal in TNA and he will never be a big deal in wrestling. The fact that he got onto WWE TV for as long as he did is almost shocking. Think about this - William Regal couldn't get on WWE TV when Trevor Murdoch was flapping around teaching his sideburns to grow, how is that possible?! Fuck Trevor Murdoch. Fuck his gimmick. Actually Fuck rednecks too. Trevor Murdoch gimme a fucking break

LOL WTF HBP? You didn't like him and Cade as a tag team or as tag champs, or even when they did the inevitable "split up the team" angle on TV, with Trevor singing?

WTF?!! So you are a redneck or what i said was above you?? Im kinda baffled at what you said here man. Trevor Murdoch fucking sucks ass. Thank you TNA

I didnt like Cade either, you see one 6'5 + guy do a big boot, you've them all do it. Only reason id react during any of their matches was when Cade tried to copy his mentor's elbow drop. And he couldn't. They were one of the worst, if not the worst tag teams in the post attitude era...era. And that includes La Resistance. Id mention Slater/Gabriel too but Gabriel is excellent.

Murdoch singing was funny in a 'is this actually happening right now' kinda way

DAMN iNATOR

06-30-2011, 03:02 PM

Wait...let me get this straight...you actually think La Résistance and Cade & Murdoch were two of the worst tag teams post-Spring '02? No offense but I think you need to do a little more research into both teams, and come back with a revised statement once you have.

HBPunk

06-30-2011, 03:12 PM

Los Guerreros were better
MNM were better
Dudley Boyz were better
Jericho/Edge were better
DX were better
Miz/Morrison were better
The WGTT were better
ShoMiz were better

And thats just off the top of my head. Care to argue?

Angle/Benoit were better too, just thought of them

HBPunk

06-30-2011, 03:14 PM

And no i dont need to research shit, i had eyes to see what they were doing and i have a memory longer than a month or two

HBPunk

06-30-2011, 03:24 PM

Londrick were better
Rated RKO were better

Who were worse Tag Team Champions so?

DAMN iNATOR

06-30-2011, 04:28 PM

Out of recent memory, and in all fairness any combo of Cena/Michaels, Cena/Bats (Batista), and Cena/Otunga. Just awful.

Your correct my friend, I am a Redneck (after all Im from Texas). I'm suprised your willing to share your opinion with someone who doesn't think the same way as you

Ill just leave it there then

All those combo's are still way more believable as Tag champions than say, Trevor Murdoch being a wrestler.

And you didnt need to write 'Bats' if you were gonna put his name in brackets anyway. Derp

Murdoch as a singles wrestler does nothing for me. Cade and Murodch are on my top 5 fav tag teams, but since Cade is dead, I really don't care for Murdoch.

HBPunk

06-30-2011, 04:51 PM

Top 5 fav tag teams?!!!

So in your mind they are ahead of at least TWO of the following :

New Age Outlaws
Edge & Christian
The Hardy Boyz
The Dudley Boyz
APA
Los Guerreros

Fuck me!

I thought Cade and Murdoch were a fine team, but I can definitely see where HBPunk is coming from. DAMN iNATOR, you are just completely ridiculous on all cylinders.

There are so many guys on the main roster right now who aren't making TV and most / all of them are better than Jethro Holliday.

Cade and Murdoch vs. The Hardy Boyz at that one PPV was pretty awesome. Maybe Backlash 2005 or so? That was probably the best work he's ever done.

Remember when he started using the Canadian Destroyer for a minute? I wonder if that was something he wanted to do, or if they were just trying to shit on Petey Williams by showing that ANYBODY could do that move.

Gertner

06-30-2011, 05:54 PM

Cade and Murdoch vs Londrick at Unforgiven was great too, but yeah their matches with the Hardyz were fantastic.

I always thought Trevor Murdock was the very definition of overrated. Not only that, but his gimmick is about as streotypical as you can get. Only an Asian cowboy named Jimmy Wang Yang was worse of the top of my head. WWE doesn't need more deadweight, they have enough of that with The Corre(formerly)and The Nexus. I'd say that his version of the Canadian Destroyer is the worse ripoff or bastardizing of a move I've ever seen.

Hire him back? Based on what, his awesome past?

Yeah, that was an awesome mini-feud. The first tag title match between the two was at Backlash '07, and they had a rematch for the titles at Judgment Day '07.
