Dash/Dawson + Blake/Murphy Appreciation Thread.

[Allie Kitsune]

I still like the Former Team Interrobang, but I'm not feeling "Team The Internet Wants Us To Be Arn Anderson So Damn Badly".

Even with #BAMF reduced to being Alexa's goons, I'm loving the Freddy outfits, and hope they can carve out a niche and a personality for themselves where they can stick around a while, and not end up as "Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks 2.0". Blake in particular seems to be willing to make a complete ass out of himself, so there's probably always a spot for him.

[King Devitt]

I'm a fan of both. I'm one of the few that preferred Blake and Murphy's original more "epileptic" faster theme song. BAM are great, I don't get why people think they're boring.

Dash and Dawson are doing the throw back thing very well. They have the look and the skill and a nice finisher, that was amped up and looked amazing at NXT:TO-London.

[Mayonnaise]

Telling them apart is all in the hair.

Scott Dawson (bald) and Dash Wilder (not bald) are a damned joy to watch. I don't think they will ever be solo stars but they will be the anchor of the tag division and probably get paired up with a main eventer along the way. Watching them wrestle, it feels like the hatred is real and they want to hurt the ones opposite them and can do it in any way necessary.

Wesley Blake (frosted or bleached, does the pig tails) and Buddy Murphy (normal hair, wants to murder kids) are solid but Alexa takes them to another level. Moving more to a place where she is the one in charge and the exist to serve her works for me. I think Murphy is the better of the two but Alexa is the star.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

I love BAMF. They're so damn douchey and punchable with Blake's stupid hair/outfits/accessories and their grating music and their evil little pixie being the clear boss.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Both teams are good enough to be employed and on TV, but I have little interest in seeing either team as center pieces of the tag division. Blake and Murphy are fine as Alexa's goons and Dash and Dawson...uh...have a cool finisher I guess.

[Blindkarevik]

I like Dash and Dawson for the same reason I like Jordan and Gable... they're both the kind of team I had no idea I had missed until I saw them. I missed the no-nonsense, everyman, tag teams of the 80s and I missed having a team that used their amateur backgrounds as a major tool in their arsenal. Yes, it's reminiscent of WGTT but also Benoit, Malenko, even the Steiners.

[Instant Classic]

BAMF is pretty cool, but if they were on the main roster they'd be a bigger jobber tag team than Los Matadores ever were(Not counting the Mania preshows they got). Dash and Dawson are awesome. SAY YEAH!!!! YEAH!

[MrBRulzOK]

Dawson is arguably in the top ten workers of NXT. The guy is just so damn crisp and smooth with everything he does. I'd love to see him square off with guys like Balor, Zayn, Joe, or pretty much any of the other top tier talent on the brand. It's kind of crazy just how good he's become considering he disappeared off television for a long time awhile back.

As for the other three, well... they're all perfectly solid workers. Not amazing, but they definitely get the job done.

[lionelp]

Dash and Dawson are incredible, I feel there's so many tag teams that exist as just two single guys thrown together, with each guy doing their own move sets, with no plan of how to work together as a team.

Dash and Dawson are great in working as that actual team, and generating the idea that they come into every match with a strategy. Their psychology work is fantastic but some times that can depend a lot on the ability of heir opponents.

Definitely a place for them on the main roster

Which they ended up using on the UK tour for some weird reason!

Both teams along with Jordan/Gable need an actual tag team name to stand out.

Dash and Dawson go informally as 'The Mechanics'.

Jordan and Gable are fine as that.

[Cvslfc123]

I have to say the first time I saw Dash and Dawson properly was live at Takeover London and they really impressed me, they have a great finisher which looked amazing from the top rope.

[Futureraven: Beelzebruv]

BAMF are my boys, I loved them getting so far in the number 1 contenders battle royal.

Both teams have characters, they're just not as in your face as other gimmicks.

The Mechanics are there to hurt you, they'll break your leg without a thought and are brutal.

BAMF are slimy, obnoxious douchebag heels. I like how they just have nothing likeable about them, especially Blake and his hair. And these days, they're the same, but hiding behind a woman at the same time.

[Bungle]

Scott Dawson is a very good wrestler.

I like him a lot.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I have no time for Blake and Murphy, but I love Dash and Dawson. They really seem brutal. They dissect people. They make the inevitable hot tag spot seem realistic, and entertaining.

I've enjoyed both teams immensely since they formed. BAM really just made my year when they did the Fred Krueger attires, but I was already a fan of their ring abilities, and feel they improved their presence since aligning with Bliss. Dash & Dawson are great throwbacks, they do that schtick well, and though I can see how they wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, for me, they are one of the top teams in the whole company...and Dash Wilder is so damn hot...but that's me.

[britishbulldog]

D&D are great. Watching them on takeover I completely got a brain buster vice and I loved it's no nonsense just break you down. They truly get b being a heel tag team's they cut the ring of and cheat.

[Deleted]

Dash and Dawson were an acquired taste for me, but I appreciate them a lot now. 

I was always a pretty big fan of Team THICK.

I think he's really attractive, but I preferred him before he really plumped up.  He showed up in decent shape but just got way more puffy by the time Dash and Dawson were pushed as actual threats.  It's good, though, that short, chunky guys are actual given a chance based on their talent rather than look, and the same thing goes for the also-pretty-short-and-not-exactly-ripped-but-still-THICK-and-buff Blake and Murphy.     

 
Oh snap, obligatory Dash Wilder physique and handsomeness analysis pics incoming.

Blake and Murphy are my favorite team in all of wrestling, especially with Alexa with them. They're just such obnoxious jerks and I love their finisher. Great team.
