Seriously, what have they done to this guy? OK, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch were always a "piss-break" tag-team, but at least Murdoch looked like a tough, mean SOB. I can understand why they'd split this team and try and make some new single wrestlers, but, seriously, is this going to be Trevor's repackage?
So he's got new music and new ring attire - and both suck. And now this horrible, BORING gimmick where he sings before he fights? How in the world do they think that's going to get over? A heel singing (Jillian) is one thing, it's SUPPOSED to be bad, but no-one in that audience will give a crap about Trevor Murdoch singing.
He's a decent wrestler with a good, tough guy look - and WWE have now totally ruined him. Way to go.

I marked out for his random singing the first time it happened. Now I'd rather he stop. And that weird sleaveless trenchcoat-esque drape he wears is disturbing.  |

Uh, dude, just wanted to give you a quick correction. In the title, when you said "Trevor Murdoch is AWFUL." you spelled his name wrong. It's spelled "Lance Cade."

Not gonna lie. I'd rather see Murdoch wearing shades and fist tape than that weird white garbage bag drape. ;D |

Yeah, singing before matches is more likely to get him booed eventually I'd say. They are going to have to work this signing thing into some pretty funny segments because if it starts and ends with him singing before matches it pretty much will not get over. Unless they play it as 'he's using mind games to distract his opponent' and they have him singnig weird songs about them. Maybe that could work. Purely singing country music though? I don't think it has a chance.

Unless they play it as 'he's using mind games to distract his opponent' I won't be suprised if they do that at some point. *kane goes to do the turnbuckle pyro* *pyro fails to go off* JR: "Mind games from the Big Red Machine." Me at home: ;D ;D |

To be fair to the people in charge of wardrobe design in WWE, I've seen him wear that trenchcoat thing before he was in WWE, so that might have been his idea. I don't know what they're thinking with this singing gimmick though. A classic case of taking something that sorta worked as a one time thing, and trying to get too much mileage out of it.

I kindly enjoy his new singing gimmick. Sure, it's not main event material, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up having more longevity than Lance Cade.
As for the new attire. Yeah, it sucks.

Again Lance Cade just looks goofy. HIs face reminds me of a very warm, rancid carrot smelling fart. Not sure why but it does. Trevor Murdoch. I think they're Jannetying him. He'll be wished the best in his future endevours in a few months unless he somehow makes this gimmick work.

If, and I mean IF, Trevor Murdoch can master the Texas Destroyer-Bomb-Flippy-Thing, then all of the Murdoch fans have nothing to worry about. The marks will freak out just like they did for Petey Williams, and Trevor Murdoch will be set for life.

Was I the only one that saw that new weird...entrance robe thingy, combined with the singing, and immediately saw it as a rib on Jeff Jarrett? I mean, the intro robe looks exactly like Jarrett's King of the Moutain robe, and he did sing in a past gimmick. I dunno, maybe I'm looking too deep into it.

Hmm...maybe it IS just a rehash of Double J. Hadn't thought of that. (BTW dude, the Vin Gerard thing's done. Just letting ya know if you didn't) |

And what is up with WWE always splitting up tag teams? Tag teams would be over in WWE if they'd leave them alone and stop feeding them to Hunter The Big Nose Caveman.
