2. I show how Murdoch becomes the bad ass take no shit heel, you just say he should be. You can say things all day, but if you don't know how to make it happen it is pointless.
3. Murdoch and Edge have nothing to do with each other gimmick wise. It wouldn't make sence for them to team up.
4. Make Murdoch a lackey for any strech of time would hurt his push.
5. You have Murdoch turning on Cade and Edge to become a face after you been building him as a heel. You are turning him to fast, and everyone will remeber that Murdoch is a turn coat, it will hurt his face push.
6. Ladder matchs are for guys with a certain flash to their style, Murdoch is not one of those guys. It probably would not look good.
7. WM 24 will probably have a MITB match again, 2 ladder matches in one night, the latter (no pun intended) match will look bad no matter what. And as mentioned before, Murdoch would not be able to make it look that good to begin with.

I must say, I did prefer your scenario BDC, but I'm just going to make some disputes with your reasoning here:
1. You do have a good point in Lance Cade benefitting in your scenario, but Lance Cade could still find success away from Murdoch. He's just not a part of the scenario. When you have him become a manager-type, you also run the risk of turning him into a second fiddle. That can be easily overcome, though.
2. That's a good point, and I really did like Murdoch when he came down to kick-ass on his partner's behalf, and didn't even need back-up. It was a great foreshadowing of success.
3. Trevor Murdoch was actually a lackey for Edge just prior to the Rated-RKO thing. While it is in the past, you could bring it up to justify Murdoch re-joining Edge.
4. I agree with this. A lackey can not always just turn on the master and be seen as a threat. Lackies can often lack character development, and they seem to willing to take a lesser role. There's no ambition, and it kind of wastes time which could be spent working on making him into more of a lone wolf.
5. Another great point. I think if they did have Murdoch turn on Cade, and then Edge turn on Murdoch, I'd have Lance Cade pull Trevor Murdoch aside and say something about how it's OK for a redneck to be betrayed by a redneck, but a redneck never gets betrayed by a Canadian. He can maybe even patch up an alliance with Murdoch, which puts him back into the scenario, as you suggested he should be. You can go as far as having Cade like Murdoch for showing the zest he did in turning on being ambition, playing up his past training by Shawn Michaels, who taught him the value in stabbing people in the back. You could then always tease a break-up, with the ever-present threat of Lance Cade "Shawn Michaelsing" Murdoch once he's the WWE Champion.
6. Trevor Murdoch is surprisingly nimble in the ring. He also has the old-school psychology thing about him. I actually think he'd be pretty damn great in a Ladder Match.
7. That's a great point. I think a Ladder Match between Edge and Trevor Murdoch in Mercury Bullet's scenario is a pretty random stipulation. I think a Street Fight would be better. They can tease Edge's background in TLC Matches at WrestleMania, and his match with Mick Foley. Edge can address Murdoch, "This isn't one of your incestuous bar-room brawls. This is WrestleMania. My show. Do you honestly think your flabby redneck ass can out-tough me at my own show? And tough is all you've got going for you Murdoch."
