Earlier this month, fans got a peek inside the characters the future Superstars of WWE have been developing at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, as footage from the sports-entertainment organization’s “Presentations Skills” class surfaced online. One of the most notable presentations came from Buddy Murphy (a/k/a Matt Silva), a 5’10” 230-pound wrestler from Australia, who depicted his character as having multiple personalities.

In his presentation, Murphy initially taps into Australian stereotypes before “breaking character” to ridicule the company-ordered persona and subsequently identifies himself in a shoot-style manner. As Murphy speaks, he makes a disturbing reference to children being murdered.

After asking the cameraman to cease filming, Murphy states, “Are you happy? Are you happy? So finally, the Australian’s doing the stereotype Australian gimmick. Finally, Buddy Murphy is coming out his shell. Finally, Buddy Murphy is showing some personality. I’ve always had this personality, I just don’t know what personality you’re going to get.

“See that guy walks through the door, he’s upstairs, doesn’t have a smile on his face, that’s me too. The guy that sits in the locker room and stares a hole down the wall, and you’re wondering what he’s thinking, if he’s going to go home and murder my kids, that’s me too [laughs heard in the background].

“But, this is what you want. This is what you want. Well just remember this; you might get what you want, but you don’t always get who you want.”

A individual managed to save the footage before it was removed from public eyes and made it available on YouTube again; here is Murphy’s promo.

Gene Petit, who appeared as Cousin Luke for the World Wrestling Federation in 1985 and 1986, has passed away, according to PWInsider.com.

Details surrounding Petit’s death have not been released. He had been battling with multiple sclerosis in recent years, causing him to drop a substantial amount of weight.

Though Petit competed for numerous promotions from 1973 through his retirement in 2000, he is best known for his role as a member of Hillbilly Jim’s stable of wrestling relatives from Mud Lick, Kentucky, which also included Uncle Elmer and Cousin Luke. Petit portrayed a silent and expressionless rural Southerner who did not know how to wrestle—though he did actually wrestle. He joined the other hillbillies in their feud with “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, “Cowboy” Bob Orton, Jr., and Jesse “The Body” Ventura. He stated in a 2008 interview detailing his career that he was asked to compete at WrestleMania 2, but had to decline to an ankle injury. Storyline cousin Uncle Elmer was utilized instead, as he suffered a quick loss to Adrian Adonis.

Petit explained the nature of his departure from the World Wrestling Federation in 1986 to SLAM! Wrestling: “Vince [McMahon] told me that they would keep me until the end of the year, leave me off for a few months, and then figure out another gimmick, because they were just going to keep Hillbilly.”

“There was too much back and forth with Hillbilly and he got hurt; they brought Elmer in, and he got fired; Junior left; then I came in, and Hillbilly had a little disagreement with the office, so he took off for a few weeks. We had lost the steam that we had. I finished the year with them, and then started working the independents.”

Hillbilly Jim is the last surviving member of the clan; Uncle Elmer (Stan Frazier) died in 1992 as a result of kidney failure while Cousin Junior (Larry Kean) died in 2009 due to a heart attack.

-WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross appeared on the pre-game show for the big college football game this weekend between his beloved Oklahoma Sooners and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. You can check out a video of JR’s appearance online at WNDU.com. For those who care, JR’s Sooners went on to defeat the Fighting Irish 35-21.

JR documented his trip to the Sooners game, which he referred to as “one of the most amazing trips of my sports life,” on his official Twitter account. Additionally, “Good Ole’ JR” tweeted multiple photos of himself at the game.

Finally, JR re-tweeted an in-depth interview he recently conducted, where he talks mostly about his pro wrestling career. You can watch that via the YouTube player below:

As reported last week, Christina Vargas, a 29-year-old fitness model who signed a developmental contract with WWE in the spring, revealed on her Twitter account that she had decided to leave the company because she came to the conclusion that that she would rather pursue her passions in life, fitness and cooking, than professional wrestling. The 29-year-old trained at the WWE Performance Center for less than one month.

On Twitter, Vargas was sent this graphic criticizing fitness models who claim that performing for WWE is their dream, and proceeded to explain the reasons behind her departure in a rant on the social media website.

Vargas wrote to the female wrestling enthusiast who sent her the critical graphic, “1st off it is not for free that the athletes pay!

“2nd I never told anyone it was my dream!

“3rd some of the best divas in time [Michelle McCool] for one of then was in the diva search and loved it.

“You always start some where! If u where in the same position you would of done it too. Stop hating!”

Vargas went off again in response to the women’s wrestling fan telling her that she blew her opportunity with WWE: “I didn’t fuck nothing up, I left becuz I was unhappy & now know what I want! If anything I gained not lost!

“I don’t need a short cut, the girls in development including the indie girls work there asses off ! 70 – 80 hours u can’t want nothing else in life. If u do its not for u. Dedication is not my prob.”

Vargas was apparently feeling ostracized during her brief tenure with WWE. Three days before announcing her departure from the company, Vargas hinted on Instagram that she was leaving a place because there were people making her feel unwanted.
