I mean, it's odd that Cade (HBK's boy) is in line for the big push while Murdoch (Harley's boy) is on the unemployment line. How the fuck can you not come up with something for the guy? He was working a nasty redneck gimmick, how can you work that and NOT come up with something for it? ESPECIALLY considering how many chances Lance Cade has had. How many? Let's see... 1. Invasion (Fell flat) 2. Garrison Cade, raider of Flair's closet, managed by Coach (Fell flat) 3. Cade and Murdoch, mach 1.0 (was actually decent before the split. Came off as a goof in a cowboy hat.) 4. Cade singles run (Fell Flat) 5. Cade and Murdoch, mach 2.0 (was better than mach 1.0, even with jobbing out to D-X. Actually looked like a threat for a change.) 6. Lance Cade, Y2J's boy (remains to be seen.) Murdoch... 1. Cade and Murdoch, Mach 1.0 (see above, caught my attention immediately) 2. Murdoch's singles run (was decent, but not given enough time. Mainly Website exclusive promos that were excellent if more than 3 people saw them.) 3. Cade and Murdoch, Mach 2.0 (see above, did much of the solid mic work with the "Sportsmen" gimmick) 4. Murdoch, singer (possible gooker nominee, wished well on his future endeavors.) As far as I'm concerned, if not for HBK and Murdoch, Cade would have been unemployed YEARS ago. And, if he falls flat even while riding Jericho's coattails, he should be shown the door. As for Murdoch, I don't feel bad for him. I am sure he'll land on his feet. Be it the two possiblities I mentioned above or even NOAH, where he'll DEFINITELY get over as a straight up Redneck badass Gaijin.

You left out the Dupp gimmick for Murdoch.

But seriously, I don't think it is a massive conspiracy. I don't remember this "Invasion" thing to which you are referring. Garrison Cade was pretty terrible, although I did like his music. If Lance Cade's singles run fell flat, then so did Trevor Murdoch's, make no mistake about it.

Cade is the more talented of the two, in my opinion, but I'm sure there would have been something for Murdoch to do. I just think the WWE is lazy in actually doing it. For example, why couldn't Murdoch come to HBK's defence in this feud with Chris Jericho and Lance Cade? Why couldn't Murdoch sing his own rendition of "Sexy Boy," which I guarantee would have gotten over?

The gimmick wasn't done to hurt Murdoch, I don't think, it was just using the man's talents in a way to try and get him over, and well...it failed. But I meant to mention what you did at the end of your post, Trevor Murdoch in Japan would be a very, very good thing. Murdoch can make some money, get a fanbase, then return to the WWE when he has proven that he can hang with the best.
