5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Jan 18)

3. That Which Is Otis Dozovic

Otis Dozovic, as WhatCulture's Andy Murray discovered, appears to be Tucker Knight's pet.

A gibbering, endearing animal that makes inexplicably amusing nonsense sounds, he enjoys a cult popularity among NXT fans, who gravitate towards this anthropomorphic thing. He appears to have watched tape of Randy Savage from outside the house and decided to become the first-ever interspecies WWE Superstar. This dog had quite the bone on Monday...

...a bone for Alexa Bliss.

Seemingly lost without his leash, Otis interrupted Alexa's 'Moment of Bliss' segment with Paul Heyman. He juddered while making odd guttural noises, moved his hand up and down like Randy Savage, shouted "Oh yeah!" like Randy Savage, and wouldn't allow a woman a spotlight like Randy Savage. He then randomly blurted out "Pretty lady! Pretty lady!" before his keeper removed him from the scene.

This wasn't very well-received: some deemed his invasive behaviour problematic, some were dismayed that he overshadowed the announcement of the Women's Tag Team titles, and some bemoaned the fact that Heavy Machinery are a comedy act already (but those people can come the f*ck on, it's Heavy Machinery). Everybody had an opinion, which is what you're supposed to have when an impression is made.

Mercifully, he did not hump Alexa's leg, but you have to accept that this is happening next week. And, following that, he'll probably piss with his leg cocked.
