Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch were a professional wrestling tag team that performed for World Wrestling Entertainment on its Raw brand. The team debuted on the September 5 2005 episode of "Raw" and in their time together held the World Tag Team Championship on three occasions.

Career

tarting out

In August 2005, both Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch were promoted from World Wrestling Entertainment's developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling, to the main "Raw" roster and wrestled dark matches under the team name TNT.cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/t/trevor-murdoch.html |title=Trevor Murdoch profle |accessdate=2007-04-10|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|quote=August 2005: Trevor Rhodes and Garrison Cade team regularly in dark matches and at house shows using the team name "TNT"..] cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/profiles/l/lance-cade.html |title=Lance Cade profle|accessdate=2007-04-10 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling|quote=August 6, 2005--Live Event (RAW crew): TNT (Garrison Cade & Trever Rhodes) defeated Chris Cage & Mike Mizanin..]

On the August 22, 2005 edition of "Raw", a vignette was shown showcasing the new tag team of Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/050822.html|title=RAW results - August 22, 2005|accessdate=2007-04-10 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling] The men were shown in a bar setting, portraying redneck characters; Cade a smooth-talking cowboy, and Murdoch an angry, Southern trucker. [http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/murdoch1/videos/vignettes/ view] They defeated the reigning World Tag Team Champions, the Hurricane and Rosey, in a non-title match in their televised in-ring debut on the September 5, 2005 edition of "Raw",cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/050905.html|title=RAW results - September 5, 2005 |accessdate=2007-04-10|publisher=Online World of Wrestling] making them the #1 contenders for the championship. They took the championship for the first time at the Unforgiven pay-per-view after Murdoch delivered an elevated DDT to the Hurricane outside of the ring causing him to suffer a kayfabe stinger. [cite web |url=http://www.pwtorch.com/artman/exec/view.cgi/24/14845 |title=RAW results - September 19, 2005 |accessdate=2007-04-10 |author=Bruce Mitchell |publisher=PW Torch |quote=Hurricane got a stinger in the match last night.] They held the title for six weeks, when they dropped them to Kane and Big Show at November's Taboo Tuesday event.

Cade and Murdoch wrestled their final match as a tag team on the November 13, (aired November 18) 2005 Eddie Guerrero tribute show, where they lost an "inter-promotional" match against SmackDown!'s Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Heidenreich). [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/smackdown/051118.html |title=SmackDown! results - November 18, 2005 |accessdate=2007-04-10 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling] Two weeks later, on the November 28 "Raw", Joey Styles announced that they were no longer a team. In a segment of "Unlimited", "Raw"'s online commercial-filling segment, Murdoch explained that he had shifted focus to the Intercontinental Championship [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/051128.html |title=RAW results - November 28, 2005 |accessdate=2007-04-10 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling]

After the split, Murdoch received a small push and became the "Unlimited" "movie critic", [http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/murdoch1/videos/moviereviews/ view] while Cade debuted a new "Refined Southern Gentleman" gimmick. Although the team had split up, they were still shown to be "allies" and were often seen together during backstage segments. [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/060327.html |title=RAW results - March 27, 2006 |accessdate=2007-04-10 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling] Separately, they were often put into singles matches with members of other tag teams, and even though they were no longer together they would aid each other in their matches. They were also put into a feud with the team of Goldust and Gene Snitsky. [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/060410.html |title=RAW results - April 10, 2006 |accessdate=2007-04-10 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling]

Reunited

On the April 14, 2006 edition of "Heat", Cade and Murdoch were once again announced as a tag team. [cite video | year= 2006 | date= April 14 | title= Goldust vs Lance Cade | url=http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/webshows/heat/2497532/2537576/drm-heat041406seg4_ | medium= Windows Media Player | publisher= WWE.com | accessdate= 2007-04-10] They wrestled together again for the first time on the May 19 "Heat" in a win over Charlie Haas and Viscera. [http://www.wwe.com/broadband/heat/heatarchives view] During the next few months the team was given a number of wins on "Heat" and appeared on "Unlimited" to cut promos stating their intentions to win back the Tag Team title. Later in the year, the two began appearing as "hired guns" for various superstars, including The McMahons (Vince and Shane) and Edge, mostly against D-Generation X (Triple H and Shawn Michaels). [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/060911.html|title=RAW results - September 11, 2006 |accessdate=2007-05-15|publisher=Online World of Wrestling] [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/060918.html|title=RAW results - September 18, 2006|accessdate=2007-05-15|publisher=Online World of Wrestling]

During the April 2, 2007 episode of "Raw", Cade and Murdoch were put in to a tag team battle royal for the World Tag Team Championship, which eventually went to the Hardys (Matt and Jeff). [cite journal | author = PWI Staff | journal = Pro Wrestling Illustrated, July 2007| title = Arena reports | publisher = Kappa Publishing | year = 2007| month = June | pages = 133] After the loss the two teams began a feud over the title, with the Hardy's retaining at the Backlash, after which Cade and Murdoch started a gimmick of being supreme sportsmen. They lavished the Hardys with compliments, calling them the "better men," when they performed guest commentary during their matches and started wrestling in an overly clean fashion. They also began showing respect to all opponents; shaking hands before and after matches, when before they wouldn't have bothered, though commentators doubted their sincerity. On the June 4 "Raw" they took the Championship from the Hardy's. The title change featured a measure of storyline controversy, as during the pin Jeff Hardy's foot was on the bottom rope—which should have caused a rope break, but Murdoch pushed it off before the referee saw it, allowing the pin to continue. After the match, when the Hardys confronted Cade and Murdoch about it, both men pled ignorance before attacking the Hardys. [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/070604.html|title=RAW results - June 4, 2007 |accessdate=2007-06-04|publisher=Online World of Wrestling]

After becoming champions again they were put into a feud with Cryme Tyme (JTG and Shad Gaspard) involving Cryme Tyme stealing their belongings and auctioning them to the crowd, [cite web |url=http://onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/070813.html |title=RAW results - August 13, 2007 |accessdate=2007-09-02 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling] [cite web |url=http://onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/070820.html |title=RAW results - August 30, 2007 |accessdate=2007-09-02 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling] but the storyline ended abruptly when Cryme Tyme was released from the company. [cite web |url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/crymetymereleased |title=Cryme Tyme Released |accessdate=2007-09-02 |publisher=WWE] Instead the sportsman gimmick was revived for a feud with Paul London and Brian Kendrick, who took the World Tag Team Championship at a house show on September 5, 2007 in South Africa, only to drop them right back to Cade and Murdoch on September 8. [cite web |url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/worldtagteam/09052007 |title=Paul London & Brian Kendrick: September 5, 2007 - September 8, 2007 |accessdate=2007-12-11 |publisher=WWE |work=History of the World Tag Team Championship] They remained champions until the December 10 "Raw", when Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes took the title. [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/071210.html |title=RAW results - December 10, 2007 |accessdate=2007-12-10 |publisher=Online World of Wrestling] In April 2008, Cade began expressing frustration after a series of losses. Following a loss on the April 28 "Raw", Murdoch sang a rendition of "Friends in Low Places". [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/_080428/ |title=April 28, 2008 |accessdate=2008-10-10 |work=Raw Results |publisher=Online World of Wrestling ] The next week he sang in a backstage vignette, and after a victory on May 12 sang the chorus of "The Gambler" at Cade's behest, only to have Cade strike him and break up the team. [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/_080512/ |title=May 12, 2008 |accessdate=2008-10-10 |work=Raw Results |publisher=Online World of Wrestling ] The two faced off on June 2, with Cade getting the victory. [cite web |url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/raw/_080602/ |title=June 2, 2008 |accessdate=2008-10-10 |work=Raw Results |publisher=Online World of Wrestling ]

Murdoch was drafted to the SmackDown brand as part of 2008's supplemental draft in June, [cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/wwedraft2008/7505418/|title=Official 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft Results|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|accessdate=2008-06-25] but was released from the company on July 3.
