“WWE LFG” on A&E gets a new coach. It’s Natalya. Exclusive interview with her about that and more.
WWE superstar Natalya, a future WWE Hall of Famer, will be a featured coach on the new season of “WWE LFG,” which premieres 10 p.m. Sunday, April 26 on A&E.
“WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats)” is an integral part of the WWE on A&E Sunday Night Package with a triple threat list of unique WWE programming.
Natalya “Nattie” Neidhart from the legendary Hart wrestling family is one of the best wrestlers of all-time, helping grow the women’s division in the ring and out. She is a team player, working well with others, including crew, staff and talent.
A credit to WWE, the Hart family and pro wrestling in general, Natalya joins Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley and “KO” Kevin Owens on Season 3 of “WWE LFG” on A&E. They work with and look for the next WWE superstar, training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. The competition is fierce with some having little or no experience, while a few have some indie chops to their credit.
Here is my exclusive video interview with Natalya as the standout WWE superstar talks “WWE LFG,” the Hart family, coaching, her (and TJ’s) own wrestling school, talent, WrestleMania past and more.
This particular TV gig is a perfect fit for Natalya, who along with her husband TJ Wilson (WWE alum Tyson Kidd), run their own wrestling school, aptly titled The Dungeon 2.0 in nearby Tampa, just across I-4.
Her grandfather, the late, great Stu Hart, stretched many pro wrestling hopefuls while training them in the Hart family home’s basement, known as The Dungeon in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Natalya and TJ want to train those who are hard workers with good attitudes. Natalya, 43, has a great mind for the business as do Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley and Kevin Owens. Booker T (Reality of Wrestling) and Bubba Ray Dudley (Team 3-D Academy) run their own wrestling schools, too.
