Career
Rhodes started his career in WLW. This is where he claimed the WLW World Championship by defeating Meng on April 11, 2000. He made a name for himself as part of The Dupps, a hillbilly tag team consisting of kayfabe brothers Stan Dupp (Rhodes) and Bo Dupp (Otto Schwanz). As a team, The Dupps wrestled in both Ohio Valley Wrestling and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. He signed WWE development deal in June 2005. While in OVW, Rhodes teamed with Lance Cade under his real name. The team was known as TNT.
On August 22, 2005 a promo was shown showcasing Rhodes' debut with the returning Lance Cade. Rhodes was repackaged as Trevor Murdoch (the surname coming from his likeness to wrestling legend Dick Murdoch), and the team are known simply as Cade and Murdoch. From the vignettes shown on WWE RAW, it would seem that Cade is playing a Nashville-esque "drugstore cowboy" while Murdoch is playing an angry Southerner straight out of a scene from Deliverance or perhaps Dick Murdoch's career video archives.
Cade and Murdoch had their debut match on Monday Night RAW on September 5, 2005. They defeated their opponents the World Tag Team Champions, Hurricane and Rosey in a non-title match earning themself a title match at WWE Unforgiven. During the title match, Murdoch delivered an Elevated DDT on The Hurricane to the outside. The DDT caused Hurricane to suffer a "stinger" (in Kayfabe) and allowed Cade & Murdoch to beat the injured Hurricane later in the match to win the World Tag Team Titles from him, and Rosey.
