7 Ups And 2 Downs From Last Night's NXT (Aug 26)
5. Tanks For The Memories
Look, I know I'm in a minority on this now but the Tank Patter is still extremely funny to me. But yet again I've awoken after an episode of NXT to find a lot of dudes who look like they smell like the inside a dog's coffin getting CyberFuming about Shotzi Blackheart running someone over again.
I've said this about 100 times now but if Shotzi Blackheart pumping out the rock cliches while driving a tank is somehow eye-rollingly lame 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 is still big, dumb, fun and if you truly hate it then, I'm incredibly sorry, but the problem is your boring life, not Dirty Blonde.
Anyway, nice to see her get two consecutive wins after a very hit and miss summer and Mia Yim, given that she was understandably unprepared for this, can easily live with the upset. Another reminder that away from the title pictures there's a lot more going on in the women's division currently than there is the men's. Run more dudes over imho.
