Natalya applies the sharpshooter wrong. She crosses the legs wrong way As a Bret Hart fan I find it disappointing that a member of the Hart family can't apply the finisher correctly.

I think we put too much stock into how many title runs someone has. Nattie is easily Top 5 all time for WWE women. She has helped train sooooo many women over the last 16 years. Plus put on banger after banger over all these years. She has defined a generation of women wrestlers. Nattie, thank you for everything

100% There are a ton of components that go into the greatest of all time, and giving back is a part of that.
I think Nattie before retirement needs to have like a mixture between a Ric Flair and a Mark Henry run where she goes on a heel tear where she dominates but also carries the stipulation that her next defeat ends her career. She ends up picking the title up during this run and it ends at a Wrestlemania losing to whomever is the next big star.

Natalya is like the Kane of Wrestling. Doesn't need 50 title runs, doesn't need to shine all the time but you can always count on them and they will do their best to put over other talent. Definitely one of the most underrated wrestlers ever. Not just female!

Awesome wrestler and deserves respect. Might not be someone everybody is a fan of, but she has done a lot for the female wrestlers and making some of them into huge stars. I wish she got one last title run even if it isn't for long and perhaps lose it to the upcoming next big star. She always looked like someone who could take on anyone in the ring. Her dedication and her passion for the sport is very impressive.

The kindest wrestler (and person) I think I’ve ever met. Genuinely treats her fans like friends and is so grateful for all of the support❤️
So underrated, yet so instrumental to women’s wrestling. I hope we get to see a long title run full of amazing stories before her career ends, right now she’s peaking. Her match with Rhea… Amazing!

Nattie is the Ironwoman of the WWE… great interview Chris!
Wow, I'd do pretty much anything to be invited to Natty & Tysons' dungeon! I'm sure CVV would love to as well! That kind of workshoppin' would be priceless! This is a pretty dope interview, Chris asks Natty a lot of good questions, and they have great chemistry all the way through.
This is such a great interview, made me respect Natalya even more. I hope she gets one last meaningful title run before she hangs up her boots very soon. Keep it up Chris 👏🏽
Maybe Nat isn't everyone's cup of tea in the ring nowadays but we still have to acknowledge her longevity and her being 1 of the very few legit women's wrestler in the divas era where most women weren't good at wrestling and just "pretty".
I definitely relate to Nattie’s struggles with intermittent fasting. I work for 8 hours getting out at 5pm, then head to my MA dojo and train til 9pm, and get those late night cravings. Even the littlest snack late at night causes major weight gain.

I honestly love Nattie, she's just such a gem. Great wrestler, obviously loves the fans and loves the business, and doesn't bat an eye at putting people over. A woman of her pedigree deserves better booking than she's gotten a lot of this year though. A 90 second squash match on her birthday at Night Of Champions is still something I haven't gotten over completely yet; that was and is beneath her.

When she started her hair was black Then she dyed it red. Now a blonde.
I've been following your channel and your interviews for a while now, and I've listened to a bunch of them. I must say that this one is among those that I loved the most. Natalya is such an inspiration in and outside the ropes, thanks for sharing it. Keep up with the awesome work. Cheers from Italy.
One of the *very few* wrestlers that I have such a great amount of respect for. Despite never really making it to the top star, she’s always been passionate to her works and pushing other women to their higher star power while also retaining such an inspiring image to the audience. She may not have flashy moveset and long-lasting title reigns but you can tell from her prolific career how much she loves doing her job.
I love Natty! I have so much respect for her not only as an in ring performer but as a human. She seems to be a very sweet, kind, caring, helpful, and amazing person. I would love to meet her one day just to talk about wrestling and life in general. This is a great interview.
She is an extremely intelligent woman. You can tell she is genuine and how much she loves wrestling.
One phenomenal interview after another! Thank you, Chris! Nattie is every bit as good as Bret and Owen. She is awesome. Would love to see her in another exciting angle soon.
Unfortunately due to Bret’s injuries and health we were deprived of a second run in WWE. This is why he’s not on many Mount Rushmore. Take Michaels for instance many remember his second run. This was a great interview and respect for Nat for still going strong and wanting to put others over!

It really is a shame he suffered a career threatening injury in WCW before he could come back. I would've loved to see Bret be apart of the old guard in the, at the time, new generation of wrestling with Ruthless Aggression and working with the new talent then.
My all time favorite when it comes to female wrestlers, and one of my favorite all time in general. Incredible career I’m still waiting for her to get a title and have a great legendary reign. She’s more then earned it
I am shocked at Nattie REQUESTING to be on "main event" with women she wants to work with is so insanely awesome. 1000% does not need to do that, but wants to help everyone out. A true legend. Always wondered why she would show up on there every now and then. Now that I think about it the only times I actually watch main event on hulu is when I see her, indie or tozawa ... lol
Literally just rewatched the interview from WM weekend and thought it was the same one. My day was made when it said four hours ago. Keep up the great work.
Love Nattie
Great interview. And yes WWE Live catering is super legit. Worked a show in 2013 and local help got to eat with everyone else. Burgers,grilled Chicken, pork chops, pizza, fries, and so much more. Mad respect for Nat being able to resist it
HoFer for sure. Great interviews Chris this one is the best yet! Thought I'd heard natties story 2000x over but this was interesting
Chris this might be one of your best interviews to date, everything felt natural and it was a fantastic conversation! (Though I can say that for any of your interviews) And Nattie of course was awesome
I always love Natalya but she is super Underrated
Love this interview! And love Nattie
Been a fan of Nat since 2008 glad to see her COME UP 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nattie is so wonderful. Thank you again Chris for making this happen.
She is a sweetheart. After one of the shows the kids and I were in the back parking lot. She walked up to us with a beautiful smile. Said hi and asked if we enjoyed ourselves. Class act. Was already a fan of her father. Now her 🙂
Again thank you Chris for the great interview with The best the is and the best the will ever be Natalya she's so great ❤️👍
Great interview. Being Canadian, the Hart family mean so much to us.
I've literally wanted you to interview Nattie ever since I started following you and also I'm looking forward to seeing Nattie inducted in the hall of fame one day it will happen but it could be a while because she's still got it
#SherriMartel, #NatalyaNeidhart & #RheaRipley will always be my top 3 female wrestlers of all time in that order ! #ChrisVanVliet . . .THANK YOU for having Nattie on !
What a good conversation! I didn't even realize it went on for an hour.
I can listen to Nattie talk for hours. She is packed FULL of wonderful experiences and passion, and I keep wanting more of that
Man I miss seeing TJ in the ring. One of my all time favorite wrestlers. Gone from the ring far far too soon.
Love, Nattie! She’s such an icon and a legend, definitely one of the best (& the kindest) to ever do it
The BOAT! Lovely interview - she is so humble and truly you can't find a better role model
Hey Chris, it would be cool if the editors could slide in some photos as she's talking showing some stills from the Canadian Stampede with all of them in the ring, her and Bret, etc. Just to show her and others different looks over the years. Love your stuff.
Nattie is awesome. Such a great storied family in wrestling. It’s cool to hear her big up Vince too. As normal 9-5 ppl, often times we assume things about ppl as successful as Vince. And we’re probably wrong for being that way. The guy has helped so many families.
Brilliant interview. Big Natalya fan. Your interviews CVV set the standard

Nattie is awesome. I met her once and she was so kind and humble.
Love Natalya! She's keeping the legacy alive!
One of the kindest wrestlers in the business the way shes happy to help others which i really do love about her.
Terrific interview. She looks great.
Interview me next lol nah but for real I’d like to see you with Rey or even santos. Love your content!
First of all, thank you Chris for interviewing my girl Natalya a.k.a Nattie Neidhart. She totally deserves this time to express herself all the way. I always loved her ever since I first seen her debut in WWE. I just wish that she gets the respect that she deserves. I hate the fact that she always has to be the one to put everyone over and they have their moment. I always wanted her to get her moment and she should have a long journey to hold the titles for long. She is an excellent heel and she should be used that way and still work with new people. But Natalya being in these non sense matches and losing drives me crazy. Other women need to sacrifice and give to others. Charlotte flair needs to step up and not always be in the title picture. Thats a whole other conversation, but I really want my awesome favorite wrestler Natalya to really be used better and to have more moments. Dont put her in useless tag teams either. Tamina and Natalya make an excellent team.
My daughter's love Natty. My older daughter wore her "paws out, claws out" tee shirt till she couldn't anymore.
CVV - please have your next interview with Adam Copeland.
THE BOAT
I want her to comeback with a mean streak and just start smashing people!!!!! So underrated!!!
9:42 Natalya acknowledges our Tribal Chief ☝️
She understands the concept of giving back. Very unselfish.
I've honestly never been a fan of Natalya as far as her character goes but at the end of it all in the real world Natalya Wilson is a hard worker of the working class like the rest of her family and from one hard worker to another it's really nothing to look down upon and if people still do they can go kick rocks somewhere.
Nattie is my favorite wrestlers of all time!
Amazing interview. I hope she knows the following: - She has great matches with EVERYONE like Brett. - She has an amazing legacy - She is having a very successful career. I LOVE HER! I’ve been watching wrestling for a long time and Nattie is one of the very best of all time and one of my favorites of all time. 💖🖤

My buddy Chico has posted training at that place.
I love how real Natalya is! I just recently watched her vs. Becky live in Salt Lake City for the NXT title! Natalya was so beautiful and snatched in person! She had a really good match with plenty of selling but also good offense! Love Natty!
1:30 deadass😭
I wish her and Tyson kid a good day ❤miss Tyson in wwe 😢😢😢
NATTIE IS A LEGEND😍😍
Natrie is the biggest low key humble bragger but you still love her 😂😂😂 Awesome personality & her contribution to the industry must be respected
She has been the longest running Diva era.
I love Natalya so much
I haven't met Natalya but I bet to know Natalya is to love Natalya.
I wish there was more Hart family members, that could come up and reprise the family name in wrestling.
Natalya is a warrior in WWE I respect her sooooooooo much for everything she does inside and outside of the ring😊❤
Storylines Matter in any professional wrestling show/company; not just putting on Matches, for the sake of Matches: playing a game of darts, seeing what sticks; and then, you book a match from there (for the WWE (Monday night RAW, Smackdown (Live !), NXT (Lvl Up) or Main Event) and/or AEW (Dynamite, Rampage, or Collison).
I love that I see so many positive comments here. The amount of hate this woman, a woman who literally gives her life to the industry, gets on social media is mind blowing. Clearly one of the kindest people out there who wants nothing but the best for her colleagues. 💗
Love Nattie ❤
The KWA stuff is adorable.
To me , the greatest women's wrestler ever. She deserved better. Shame what happened to Tyson kidd. Thanks for everything Natty. The Hart Family is the greatest dynasty ever.
She is so beautiful and underrated. She is just awesome!
Queen of hearts
Natalyas tag team matches with Gail Kim on superstars are the whole reason I started watching wrestling again and ive not stopped since. I feel so lucky to have her around still I the crazy climate that is wwe and i wish more people recognised just how instrumental she is in getting wrestling irrespective of gender where it is now, from total divas reality to training a generation of up and comers and so many great matches. Even her cringe is iconic 🍑💨
I feel like nattie has never been pushed the way she should have. She deserves a really great title run on top for awhile. Shes a fantastic worker and reminds me a lot of a female Dolph Ziggler whom I also think never got what he deserved
uncle Bret "the Hitman" Hart: one of the Best there was, the Best there is, and the Best there ever will be... This also applies to the great Nattie (Natalya) "the Queen of Harts" Neidhart. Nattie is like someone who did a sport from an early age, like a child prodigy: surfing or the martial arts (like karate, tae kwon do, BJJ (Brazilian jiu jitsu), aikido, or kung fu). For this case, it is professional wrestling. She "breathes, eats, drinks, and sleeps" pro wrestling, just like Nattie's husband, Tyson Kidd, a Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) or Sting/the Stinger in AEW. Wrestlers that fight against Bears, like Tracey Smothers or terrible Ted = that's CrAzy, man. This relates to the Carnival or the Circus ("not a Carny P.O.S.," like the great Don Callis).
Ohhh the GOAT is on CVV and i oversaw it - shame on me... But now i know im gonna love to hear from Natalya
Well bahgawd!!!! I got my pizza, doritos and pop on my dash board. Gonna listen to this while I drive my semi tractor trailer westbound on I10 in Texas. Shoulda got me a Whataburger
Who will be her tag team partner for Wrestlemania 59 I wonder?
I knew everyone has nice things to say about Nattie, but I was not expecting her and TJ to be giving free coaching to the wwe roster in her spair time. Pay the woman.
I'm only saying this out of respect and appreciation for her she deserves a hall-of-fame more than Beth Phoenix in my eyes
Natalya deserves all the flowers. A trusted and respected veteran. Future HOF
Read somewhere that she said chris benoit helped got her in the company
Her voice is enticing
