Natalya about her father Jim Neidhart and pro wrestling

WWE Diva Natalya, who apparently has been in Los Angeles for jiu-jitsu training with the legendary Gracie family, told the Cornwall Standard Freeholder that her father Jim Neidhart tried to shelter her from pro wrestling as a kid. “My dad sheltered us from wrestling because he thought it wasn’t a place for women,” she said.

Natalya also talked about being a woman in wrestling: “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.”
