Natalya’s book is about to hit the public on Oct. 28. It’s titled, The Last Hart Beating, and is described by Amazon as –
WWE Superstar Natalya “Nattie” Neidhart—the longest-serving female wrestler in WWE history—invites readers inside her extraordinary journey, from her upbringing in the legendary Hart family home through her more than two decades in wrestling.
In a new interview with Fightful, Natalya states that Bianca Belair was the first person to read her book as a manuscript while they were overseas together.
“That’s the thing is that when people are reading the book, they’re going, ‘I have a whole new respect and a whole different perspective of your life and of who you are.’ The very first person actually to read my book was Bianca Belair. We were on an overseas trip together and we were just talking about the book and just chatting back and forth. I told her I was writing a book and I said, ‘Actually, I just finished it. Do you want to take a look at the manuscript?’ and she said, ‘Yeah, I’d love to.’ She read the book in two days and she was so excited. Every single chapter, she would be like, texting me and like, ‘I can’t believe this and I need to talk about this and what happened.’” Natalya told Fightful in a new interview.
She continues,
“She’s like, ‘I read it so fast. It was such an easy read.’ But she’s like, ‘I have a million questions. I had no idea that this was your life.’ So she even got a little emotional about it. She’s like, ‘This is something that I need. Like, I needed this book.’ She goes, ‘I wish I would have read this book before I started my career in WWE because this book lifted me up so much. It’s so powerful.’ I never forgot about what Bianca said about the book because what she took away from the book is exactly what I want every reader to take away. There’s a very strong story. The book is not so much about wrestling. It’s more about relationships. Wrestling is the backdrop of the book. It’s a lot about relationships and people in my life. It’s a lot about the people in my life that helped me grow—the good and the bad—they helped me grow so much.”
