Honestly, I could do it, but the problem is that I'm not sure if that is enough time to do it the right way. There is a difference between making someone champion and making them look like a golden god. But I'll take a crack.
Step 1) I would have Murdoch actually on tv.
Step 2) Tweak his gimmick. Start making him into an ugly, fat, pissed off, bad ass hick.
Step 3) Get him into a program. Not a big one at first, but just a feud. Like say him and Cade are in a match against the Highlanders. During the match, Cade gets "injured." The next week Murdoch swears revenge and challenges Robby to a one on one match. Have Murdoch get disqualified for not breaking a hold at a 5 count. (BTW, Murdoch should be wrestling a very stiff, brutal and ugly style, i.e. an uglier Taz, without the suplexes). The next week Robbie and Rory are in the ring (Robbie is bandaged up), and they call Trevor out and Rory challenges him to a match. Murdoch calmly walks down to the ring, socks Rory in the face and knocks down Robby and assaults both of them. After a minute, he picks up the mic and says, "In case you did understand, I accept."
In the match, Murdoch again brutalizes Rory. This time he makes Rory tap, but won't break the hold. Ref reverses the desision. Now on week 3 the Highlanders are in the ring again, this time both are bandaged up. Again they call out Murdoch, who comes down with Cade (in a cast or something) down to the ring. And they exchange some heated words and make a tag team strecher match for Backlash. In a fairly brutal match, Cade and Murdoch come out on top.
May week 1: Umaga and Estrada are in the ring and he says that the Bulldozer wants a challenge. Murdoch and Cade come down to the ring (Cade still in the cast). And offer Umaga a challenge. That night Umaga and Murdoch work a match to a no contest when the ref gets knocked out and the replacement ref also get knocked out.
Month 2 week 2: Cade and Murdoch (Cade is now basically Murdoch's manager, and still in a cast) are in the ring and call out Umaga. Murdoch says "I ain't done with you yet boy, I want another match." Umaga starts nodding wanting the challenge (he and Estrada are on the stage). Estrada is heistant and says not tonight. Murdoch insistes that there is a match. Then Vince's music hits, he comes out, still steamed at Umaga and makes a match for Judgement day for the IC belt, and it is no holds barred, no count out, no time limit. For the next few weeks, tease the match with Umaga and Murdoch being hled apart and stared downs.
At judgement day, again a very brutal match, with back and forth brawling and a few spots here and there. Then Umaga as Murdoch in a hold signalling the Somoan Spike, Murdoch very loud yells in the ring "I don' think so fucker." Kicks Umaga in the balls and beat Umaga for a minute, applies his own finisher and picks up the win.
June: Umaga and Murdoch continue their feud and there is a return match at Vengence. Murdoch again picks up the win in a non-gimmick title match, but it is just brutal.
July through February: We are kind of on autopilot, just letting Murdoch defend the IC title against the middle card, Cade helping him win here and there, but never making it look like Murdoch is relying on Cade. He should be dominating over everyone, and occasionally throw in a upper midcarder or even a maineventer. We already have his personallity in place, now we just need to build his record. Also, he does not go into the Royal Rumble, he is busy defending his title.
Mid Febuary: The Royal Rumble winner chooses to go up against 'Taker or who ever has the Heavywieght title. I'm assuming at this point Cena is still WWE Champ. Cena is out cutting a promo about how no one is there to challenge him. Murdoch and Cade(yes, still milking the cast) walk out and get in Cena's girll. Cena laughs it off as if he is better than that. Murdoch knocks Cena's hat off his head. Cena starts to get pissed, but then laughs it off again. Murdoch then knocks the title out of Cena's hands. Cena looks even more pissed, but laughes it off again. This time Murdoch cracks Cena in the head with the IC title. Security rushes out and pulls Cade and Murdoch of the ring.
Next week Cena calls Murdoch and Cade out and challenge's Murdoch for a title vs. title match at WM. Murdoch win the match.
As long as Murdoch can put on watchable matchs, he rarely will have to say much and will look pretty tough as long as he keeps up his end.
Also, you might have noticed that I made sure the IC belt was defended for the first time in 5 years at Wrestlemainia.
