"The Last Hart Beating": Nattie Neidhart's Story Unfolds

Nattie Neidhart, known to the WWE Universe as "Natalya", and who is valuable to the pro-wrestling industry as a whole, is set to release her memoir, "The Last Hart Beating," this October. This deeply personal account, published under her real name, promises to offer an unfiltered look into Nattie's life, both inside and outside the squared circle.



This memoir promises to be more than a recounting of Nattie's time in WWE- it delves deep into her experiences as part of the legendary Hart family, a multi-generational wrestling dynasty of successful wrestlers who are products of the well-known Dungeon training. We'll get a private look at her father, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Neidhart's struggles, and how they impacted Nattie's life and career. This personal perspective sets "The Last Hart Beating" apart from many other wrestling autobiographies.

Nattie has over two decades of experience in the pro-wrestling industry. Her career has spanned continents, from Stampede Wrestling in Canada, to AtoZ in Japan, culminating in her 18-year tenure with WWE, where Nattie is a two-time women's world champion and has also been a tag team champion. Now, we will have the opportunity to read her unique perspective of her experiences and the significant changes in the industry. In addition, it will provide insights into her husband Tyson Kidd's career-ending injury, a moment that no doubt shaped Nattie's perspective.

What makes this memoir particularly intriguing is Nattie's decision to share personal details she's previously kept private. This vulnerability promises to create a powerful connection with readers, offering insights into the woman behind the wrestler. Using her real name for the book is a clear sign that this is Nattie's personal story, told in her own voice. Nattie has experienced many ups and downs during her life and career, and through it all, while many members of the industry use social media to vent frustrations, or become sluggish in the ring due to unhappiness, Nattie always gives 100% and never appears to be unhappy with her position in a promotion. Nattie never allows frustration to affect her performance; instead, she consistently upholds her professionalism, delivering exactly what fans expect and the promotion wants.

I recently wrote about Nattie's upcoming NWA appearance, and how that signals a new era of WWE collaboration. That post, and this upcoming memoir, both indicate Nattie's desire to expand her legacy and to continue to contribute to the industry that she loves.

Natalya wants to share her story, and her experiences, with the world, making "The Last Hart Beating" not just a book for people who are interested in pro-wrestling; it's a story of resilience, family, and the pursuit of passion. "The Last Hart Beating" is a testament to Nattie Neidhart's enduring spirit and her unwavering dedication to the art of professional wrestling. I look forward to its release.
