So, back in the summer, I saw that Murphy and Blake were teaming up at house shows. I knew Murphy as "that guy who said something about killing his kids" in a leaked promo, and Blake was just that chunky (or should I say THICK) guy who got murdered by Adam Rose in his debut. They popped up as a jobber tag team and, although having some solid showings, have come up short in, like, five minutes each time. They were also called Team Thick for all of two weeks until someone realized that, well, that name is pretty damn bad (I can just imagine how many wiener jokes could be made or already have been made). In those handful of jobs, though, they've show flashes of brilliance (especially, IMO, Murphy). I can't wait to see them wrestle longer matches. I wanna hear them on the mic. I wanna know why they're friends and/or why they're teaming. I want to find out just how thick they really are. I honestly can see them becoming a non-jobber team and picking up the NXT tag titles by the end of the year. I know Murphy's age is listed at 26 years old (couldn't find an age for Blake), so he can rot in NXT for 4 years and still have a hell of a career. They are short, thick heavyweights, but I think their power and explosiveness is enough to help them be taken seriously. I'm mostly worried about Murphy's height (a billed 5'11''). Anyway, what do you guys think? Is 2015 the year that we find out how thick Team Thick really is?

Love this duo. I really hope they get a chance to grow into a featured team and get a run with the titles. Some amazing strength and agility for guys their size and a great look.

Team Thick isn't name I would think a male tag team would call themselves. #TeamThick

I thought we were going with the name Team Dubstep Cowboys.

They've been a jobber tag team on NXT few times, but still made to look strong and got good offense and talked up by commentary. I like them and think they could make a good addition to "thicken" up the tag division. Thank you.

They're ok, I guess.

With the Ascension leaving for the main roster, there's going to be more room for Team Thick to get pushed as a main team on NXT.

They're okay, but I don't see much in them yet.
I do hope they get some kind of push though. One of the things I hate about the tag division in NXT is that it's always "the champions and everyone else".

Buddy Murphy is the most late 70s/early 80s wrestling name ever. That's the kind of name you expect to see pop up on ESPN classic AWA Footage.

I really wish they changed Wesley Blake's name to Guy Harris or something so they can be Buddy & Guy or even funnier, just call them The Buddy System!
Buddy Murphy is impressive but I feel like WWE will push Blake over him.

The tag team scene in NXT excellent and Murphy & Blake are crushing it.
I don't think I'm alone in predicting that Murphy will go on to do BIG things in WWE. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes on to be a main eventer and maybe even a World champ. He's that good and the sky's the limit for them.

Buddy Murphy (aka Matt Silva) is probably the best talent that Australia has ever produced and had a ton of great matches in MCW. Like I legit think he's better than TMDK.

I dig them. They remind me of a modern rookie version of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew.

They look like guys who could make some noise down the line. They impressed me in their last televised match. Hope we see more of them in NXT.

They're pretty damn good. I was impressed when they had a match against the Lucha Dragons, and Murphy countered one of Kalisto's flips and managed to deadlift him into a suplex. Was goddamn awesome. Plus, dem tights. EDIT: Found a GIF of it:

Wow, I just found out Buddy might be even younger than I thought. This site (copyright date 2013) says he's 20 years old. riotcitywrestling.com/roster-2/roster/matt-silva/This random wiki site says his birthday is August 22, 1992 (making him 22). totalwrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Matt_SilvaThis random wiki says he's 26. prowrestling.wikia.com/wiki/Buddy_MurphyAnyway, the point is, the have a young, talented dude who they are taking their time with and can continue to take their time with. I just really really really hope his short stature doesn't harm him. Also, that name has to go. Just change the "u" to an "o" and make him Bobby Murphy or something. Oh, and that Wesley Blake guy is pretty okay, too.
