HumanChessgame Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Blake and Murphy are what happens when they screw up cloning Kane and accidentally make two Curt Hawkins. When I first saw them, they reminded me of Hawkins and Ryder back when they were Edge's stooges and they definitely have that generic B show jobber tag team look to them. It's too bad as they're decent workers and getting better and are just starting to show some personality. They're a prime example of wrestlers having all the tools but not having "it" that really takes them to the next level. If they can come up with an actual gimmick or something more distinctive about themselves then I think they've got a good run ahead of them.
JohnnyJ Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Does anyone think Blake and Murphy even get confused about which is which? 1

mco543 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I'm watching Carmela and Bayley Periscope their road trip to a house show and I would absolutely watch NXT wrestlers struggling to make house shows because of Florida's all-universe shitty drivers and highways while slowly being driven insane.
Nice Guy Eddie Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Does anyone think Blake and Murphy even get confused about which is which? That's why they have their names on their tights.

Go2Sleep Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Test was way bigger than either of these guys and Albert had a unique look. These guys are like the Dollar Store Mexican Action Figure Knock Off version of Beer Money In terms of look and generic-ness, the best comp for Blake and Murphy is Croft and Baretta. But with the Bliss/Trish comp being so easy plus the whole "2 reasonably talented but ultimately underachieving midcarders" thing they have going on, T&A has to be the best overall fit.
Matt D Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Let me pass something by you guys. El Hijo del Outback Jack. That would straighten this all out. 2
SorceressKnight Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Does anyone think Blake and Murphy even get confused about which is which? My headcanon is now that every so often, Blake will hit on Alexa, who shoots him down- not because he is interested in her, but because it's the only way he remembers "Oh yeah, I'm Blake. Thanks for clearing it up."
JCM Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I'm watching Carmela and Bayley Periscope their road trip to a house show and I would absolutely watch NXT wrestlers struggling to make house shows because of Florida's all-universe shitty drivers and highways while slowly being driven insane. I'm trying to picture Bayley having a fit of road rage, but it always turns out adorable. 1
turk128 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Simplest way is to have Eva win the belt from Sasha. Then have her get intentionally DQ'd or counted out every match. How about giving her a monster bodyguard or forcing one of the Four Horsewomen to be her tag partner in tag matches, have them do 99% of the work then have Eva tag herself in and get the pin every time. She then could brag that she had wins over the best in NXT and dodge any chances of singles matches. If forced into singles matches, she forces DQs. If she ever gets the belt, it would only be through LayCool rules. EDIT: Eva has the personality of Plank. I've never seen her emote, she's like 1990s 3d game cinematic. That said, the roasting she got on NXT was so brutal (and over the line) that she actually showed emotion... subtle, but still emotions.
turk128 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 If the Vaudevillains didn't have such a good act going with just Gotch and English, I'd put Marcus Louis in as the silent horror film monster; something along the lines of Nosferatu. 1
Johnny Sorrow Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 I love that all the smarky "jokes" about Blake and Murphy here are exactly what they want . It's NXT, they want smarks chanting shit at them and hating then online. It's heat. And any heat is good.
Big Fresh Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 God damnit WWE! What do you sick bastards insist on showing us the disgusting surgeries whenever someone has one? Stop it! That shit is nasty!
Jenalysis Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Maybe Blake and Murphy should go under hoods and try to be a redneck Doom?
Big Fresh Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Why does Rhyno work with a t-shirt on? He still looks in good shape.
offspring515 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 I think his gear all says "Rhino" but he is "Rhyno" in WWE. Probably didn't want to invest in new stuff for a part time gig. He doesn't wear t shirts on the local XICW shows I've seen him work.

Godfrey Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Does anybody here really dislike Blake and Murphy though? Especially now with Alexa? I'd personally take them over Ascension and Lucha Dragons any day.
Michael Sweetser Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 I think his gear all says "Rhino" but he is "Rhyno" in WWE. Probably didn't want to invest in new stuff for a part time gig. He doesn't wear t shirts on the local XICW shows I've seen him work. I can just see him heading through Gorilla before someone notices his gear says "Rhino", stops him and tosses him a shirt. For fun, imagine HHH as Mean Joe Greene.
Brian Fowler Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Blake and Murphy got about 333% more interesting and fun with Alexa.
J.H. Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Maybe Blake and Murphy should go under hoods and try to be a redneck Doom Killer Bees? Fixed because I care James 1
Victator Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 I think his gear all says "Rhino" but he is "Rhyno" in WWE. Probably didn't want to invest in new stuff for a part time gig. He doesn't wear t shirts on the local XICW shows I've seen him work. I thought of that a few weeks back.
