Natalie Katherine "Nattie" Neidhart[2] (born May 27 1982) is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) working on the SmackDown! brand and in their "farm territory", Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW)[3][4]. She is a third generation wrestler, as she is the daughter of wrestler Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart, who is himself the son-in-law of Stu Hart. As a member of the Hart wrestling family she is cousin to Harry Smith, who is also under a WWE contract and cousin to Teddy Hart.

Career

Natalie Neidhart received formal professional wrestling training in the infamous Hart family "Dungeon" from her uncles Ross and Bruce Hart.[5][6] In addition to her professional wrestling career, Neidhart has received training in amateur wrestling and mixed martial arts. In late 2000 through 2001 she served as the host and ring announcer of the Eric Bischoff led youth-promotion MatRats.[7] In 2003 she began working for the Hart Family's own Stampede Wrestling, begging a long time feud with Belle Lovitz. The pair wrestled each other repeatedly until 2005, when they joined forces against the Myers Family.[2]

Neidhart also began wrestling abroad, with the intention of honing her skill. In the summer of 2004 she accepted bookings for a tour in England, and in March 2005, started on a two month tour of Japan where she used the name Nadia Hart.[5] When she returned to Canada she promptly turned heel, announcing that "Nasty Nattie" had been born. On June 17 2005 she defeated Anna Marie, Belle Lovitz, and Ma Myers in a four way match to become the first Stampede Women's Pacific Championship, though she later vacated the title.[8]

On October 8 2006 Neidhart won the NWA: Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling Supergirls Championship from Lisa Moretti at a Big Time Wrestling show in Newark, California, losing it to Nikki Matthews on October 27 three-way match that also involved Veronika Vice.[9]

World Wrestling Entertainment

On January 5 2007,[2] Neidhart signed a deal with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE),[10] making her the first third generation female wrestler in history of the business.[11] Upon signing she was assigned to their "farm territory" Deep South Wrestling for the first half of the year before being transferred to Florida Championship Wrestling when it opened in June.[1] Neidhart debuted in Ohio Valley Wrestling in a dark match at television tapings on July 18 2007. She debuted the next week as a member of the Next Generation Hart Foundation, accompanying Teddy Hart and Harry Smith for tag team matches.[12] In October she, along with the rest of the Hart Foundation, were moved to Florida Championship Wrestling.[4]

She made her main roster debut on the April 4 2008 episode of SmackDown!, coming out of the crowd to aid Victoria in an attack on Michelle McCool and Cherry.[13]
