7 Ups & 2 Downs For Last Night's NXT (May 20)
5. Tanks For The Memories
I made the mistake of going on the internet this morning.
Turns out a lot of people really didn't like NXT doing a three-minute-long segment on Shotzi Blackheart's tank. They really didn't like her driving it around, crushing a few (admittedly already crushed) cars, and comparing them to some of the other women on the roster.
They really didn't like her saying "I'm your daddy!", or "I'm just like a tank, because tank's don't give a s**t", or "looks like I squished a pixie!". Apparently it's lame, and hokey, and stupid, and even worse than Scarlett Bordeaux lip-synching some entrance music last week, if you can imagine such a thing.
If Shotzi Blackheart pumping out the rock cliches while driving a tank is somehow underwhelming to you then, well, there's nothing I can do. The unique nature of pro-wrestling means that you can do absolutely anything you want with the characters, and if you just want everything to be sterile and 'real' then why the f**k are you even watching it?
This was big, dumb, fun and if it somehow elicited an eye-roll in you then, I'm incredibly sorry, but your problem is your boring life, not Dirty Blonde. Aw-Aw-Awooooooooooo!
