Shotzi Blackheart woke up to discover terrible news today. Her father passed away.
The NXT Superstar wrote a multi-tweet tribute for her father that was quite touching. Blackheart will remember so many things about her father and she considers herself lucky to have had him in her life.
While talking about things like how he had the best Halloween decorations, this also ties into all the things that helped mold Shotzi Blackheart into the howling NXT Superstar we all know today.
I got the news early yesterday morning that my dad passed. This is extremely painful. I see all the caring messages and I really appreciate them but I am just far too overwhelmed to respond to them all.
I know alot of people dont have a great relationship with their dad so I always felt really lucky to have awesome relationships with both my dads. My step dad came into my life when I was 4 and he made it a point to become good friends with my biological father and they became
best friends, brothers. He was that fun guy that everyone wanted to be friends with. The party guy. Almost everyday at home I could hear him singing to himself “i dont want to work just want to bang on my drum all day” He played his music so loud you could hear it down the street
He had the best Halloween decorations, the biggest fireworks on the 4th of July, the biggest smile in any room and he was huge prankster. One time he wrapped up a big piece of dog crap in plastic wrap and hid it in my cars sun visor so that it stunk my car up and landed right on my lap when I found it. He scared the crap out of me and my sister when we were camping once. It was the middle of the night and we were both asleep in our tent when suddenly we woke up to the tent shaking. My dad put on a gorilla suit and destroyed our tent with us in
it. I was probably 6 at the time and thought I was going to die. Dont even get me started on his wet willies from hell! They were the worst but boy would I do anything for one now. He taught me everything from riding a bike to appreciating the beauty in life. Dad I miss making
brownies with you, I miss our long conversations that went on until sunrise, I miss your donald duck impressions and I miss hearing you call me butthead. I LOVE YOU RIP Dad
Our thoughts are with Shotzi Blackheart during this sad time. She is not the only member of the pro wrestling community who lost a father as Matt and Jeff Hardy’s father also passed away.
