The May 7 Wrestling Observer is reporting that the imminent split of the tag team of Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch will be more for a push for Lance Cade than one for Trevor Murdoch. WWE's current plan (which can change so many times) is to mold Lance Cade into a major contender in the Intercontinental Title picture. They are looking to push Cade to the level of Chris Jericho and a pre-suspension Jeff Hardy. He would work as a heel and possibly get a run with the Intercontinental Title. WWE views Lance Cade as the MVP of the team, due to his size and alook. Unfortunately, the split may not serve Trevor Murdoch as well. WWE's plan for Murdoch is to have him continue with his singing character and have him work as a face. Working as a face with limited ability and not the best look in the business, Murdoch will likely end up as a lower card wrestler that will only be over (if at all) with his "singing" character.

THWD: The case for a WWE off-season By Tink Holloway on 3 May 2008 My goodness, how long ago does Wrestlemania seem already!?

It’s a shame that there is so little time to take in what happened at the biggest event of the [...]   THWD: MMA and Wrestling? By Tink Holloway on 25 April 2008 I’d like to make a survey asking fans of professional wrestling why it is that they watch it. I wonder how many of them would answer because it’s a form of combat? I only wonder about this because over the last 3 or 4 years I’ve become increasingly perplexed at the close proximity of sports-entertainment [...]   THWD: UK - The WWE?s nice little earner By Tink Holloway on 18 April 2008 Ever since I was very young and watched my first WWE (F as it was at the time) pay-per-view, Royal Rumble 1994, I had always wanted to see it live. The way Vince McMahon would assure everybody that the arena had gone cold when The Undertaker came out and the fan reaction to Bret Hart?s [...]   KR: The Road to WrestleMania By Robert Heard on 29 March 2008 Right, well it is well known that I am a Puro writer and have never written on the subject of American Wrestling. But a Puro blog on the eve of WrestleMania seems wrong, not in the least because WrestleMania is not a Japanese event at all?HustleMania is but then the less said about that the [...]   KR: The BIG Statement with a BIG Show By Robert Heard on 29 March 2008 So WrestleMania, the biggest event on the calendar for wrestling fans will be a huge event. It will be the second ever to be held completely outdoors. It is reported it will pump twenty five million into the local economy and bring 60,000 people to Orlando as well.
