Natalya on growing up in wrestling

Slam Wrestling has an interview up with WWE Diva Natalya (Nattie Neidhart). Here are some highlights.

On growing up around pro wrestling with her father Jim Neidhart:
“I remember being a little girl and trying on the belt. Obviously, it didn’t fit. My dad sheltered us from wrestling because he thought it wasn’t a place for women.”

On what it means to be a WWE Diva:
“It’s a balance of being strong, sexy, powerful and beautiful. We’re not built like men,” she added. “We hit the ropes and we feel it. I’ve had to work for it. We earn the right to be called a Diva.
