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.

What are your thoughts on this promo? It was a promo to be only used in NXT backstage as it was just practice however it ended up being leaked. I've seen Buddy Murphy wrestle many, many times and have trained with him before. He's from Australia, I didn't see this promo being that bad at all... it was showing his gimmick of having multiple personalities.

Sounds like someone has a man crush on him and can't see how utterly Blue the promo was. Saying you would murder kids is bad enough on it's own, but to say it when something like that has already happened in the company is the most idiotic thing you could do. Gonna laugh if he gets released.

People are too sensitive. Obviously he wouldn't say anything like that if he knew he was speaking to a public audience. It was behind the scenes. He would of thought that it was only going to those sitting in the room and the higher ups. Not his fault it got leaked. I'm sure bad stuff and stuff somewhat similar to what he said has been said in promo classes before and that's why people like Dusty, etc are there to help them work on stuff like this.

Plain and simple. Promo classes are trial and error and they try a new character/promo every time and the videos are not meant for public consumption.

Is one of his personalities stuck in 2007? Should've sang the Crispen Wah Fresh Prince song while he was at it.

I'm obligated to check this out, not too shabby but not much to go on either.

I will fucking cry if they end up giving him the stereotype gimmick.

Benoit killed a kid. Likewise he's in a country where kids have been the victim of mass shootings on schools. It's very stupid

The idea of the gimmick is good but he should have left out the murdering kids part doesn't matter if it was behind the scenes or not. He could have done that same promo minus the murdering kids part to get his point across just as effective and it would have worked fine.

Should have used what JR use to say about HHH; about HHH would even destroying his own grandmother.
