Natalya Neidhart - 15 Years in WWE and Creating her Own Legacy


Natalya Neidhart - 15 Years in WWE Creating her Own Legacy

Natalya debuted in 2007, As of this writing Natalya has been with the number one wrestling company in the world WWE for over 15 Years. 

What an amazing incredible achievement she is one of the longest serving active wrestlers in WWE and is continuing to have matches week in and week out for fans all over USA and the world. 

Natalya career achievements in WWE so far are

SmackDown Women's Champion - 2017

Divas Champion - 2010

WWE Women's Tag Team Champion - w/Tamina 2021

In addition Natalya is in the Guinness Book of Records for Having the most matches of any female in WWE EVER and most wins of any WWE Female Wrestler in History (From 411 Maina)

I think Natalya biggest achievement along with Lacey Evans was the first ever WWE Woman's match to be held in the country of Saudi Arabia. It was a true moment in history not just for WWE but for Saudi Arabia and the world. It was a moment that goes beyond wrestling and Natalya got a chance to deliver that, that means more than any world title and is something that will be talked about in years to come as something truly ground-breaking.

From WWE Youtube see the video below of the start of this historic match 


I think personally that Natalya should of had more titles in WWE and there is still lots more time for her to do that, but I don't think that Natalya should be defined by just her title reigns. 

There is so much more to her that WWE hasn't utilised in the best of ways over the years. Natalya has had to overcome some awful storyline situations she has been put in (the passing wind storyline which was horrible in my opinion and to put her in that position was disrespectful) + all the crazy stuff with great Khali and also I would imagine lots of internal politics that go with the job too. 

That to me shows the incredible character and strength that Natalya must have not only to overcome that, but push past it and to excel past it, to recover from situations like that and turn them on their head isn't something everyone can do and continue to be a huge success in WWE.

Natalya is one a very few who have been in WWE and crossed over from DIVA to still be a WWE Woman's Superstar today. That transition I believe was perfect for Natalya because Natalya was the Woman's revolution before the revolution happened I think it helped her alot as it was able to showcase her in the best way possible.

In my opinion like Dolph Ziggler, being the person WWE rely on to have a great match with anyone, that to me is where the skill of Natalya lies. Natalya can have great matches with anyone, she is relied upon by the company to deliver excellent matches whoever she is in the ring with being constantly technically excellent.

Look at some of the amazing matches Natayla has had with Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Paige, Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Ronda Rousey and so many more. Natalya had matches with these women at different times of their careers alot of them starting out in their careers and so may have credited Natalya for helping them get better in the ring and for helping them develop into better professional wrestlers. I hope Natalya takes great pride in that because she has contributed to creating and making a better WWE Woman's Division. 

To be in any job for 15 years you have to be good, however If you are in WWE for 15 years you have to be damm good at what you do, and Natalya is that good.

Picture From WWE
Natalya is daughter of WWE Hall Of Famer Jim "The Anvil" Nedihart and Jim was tag Team Partners with Legendary Bret "The Hitman Hart" in The Hart Foundation they have a legacy that will live forever with wrestling fans all over the world, and now Natalya has created another new Wrestling Legacy that is attached to the name Neidhart.

WWE Royal Rumble 2013 Ziggler is Lucky Number 1 (or 2) Dolph Ziggler This Sunday 27th January 2013 WWE Royal Rumble will air. Generally One of the best WWE PPV's of the year. This year 30 Man Royal Rumble match has alot of intrigue built into it most people are of the opinion that John Cena will be winning this years event and then go on to face The Rock at Wrestlemania. However after seeing this past Monday's WWE raw WWE might have something else in mind.,.,,  Royal Rumble 2013 A Beat the clock challenge took place on WWE Raw and the winner of this we were originally told could pick their number for the Royal Rumble Match.

WWE TV in UK 2024 Will it Stay on TNT Sports, Move Back to Sky or Somewhere new?

In 2020 WWE signed a multi year deal with TNT Sports (BT Sport at the time) to air WWE programming WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown and WWE NXT.  Channel 5 also airs highlights of WWE RAW and WWE Smackdown but on a week delay - Channel 5 is a free to air channel here in the UK.  Last week I received an email as a WWE Network subscriber here in the UK to inform me that I could now watch WWE NXT every week on WWE Network from 3rd Jan 2024. So this email got me thinking - is the WWE/TNT Sports UK TV deal coming up soon? it looks possible. Looking at the original story of the deal being made in 2020 multiple sources claim that it is a "multi year deal" See below  ( https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a28113145/wwe-smackdown-raw-watch-uk-tv-bt-sport/)     I could not find how many specific years that was., However I thought i'd give my opinion on where WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown could end up in 2024, The rights fee's obviously are alot less than there are in ...

Strike Wrestling Results Bournemouth May 20th 2018

Strike Wrestling Results Bournemouth May 20th 2018   Hello Wrestling fans! Welcome to the first ever Strike Wrestling Results blog!  I went to Bournemouth and took x2 trains and a bus to get there and it was well worth the effort. Before I get to the wrestling a bit about Bournemouth Bournemouth is a beautiful town it was a sunny hot day. I managed to go to the beach and see the pier and get a great view from Bournemouth on top of the cliffs, where there were also many of great restaurants and places to eat. Check out my on the road video on Strike Wrestling by clicking the video below! This was my first show at Strike Wrestling and Strike is an over 18’s show so I was expecting a different vibe, feel and presentation to family orientated wrestling that I have attended in the past. Strike wrestling is high paced, hard hitting, fast action but with a huge streak of entertainment, fun and having a great time.   Fr...
