10 Times WWE Embarrassed Their Own Stars
9. Natalya
Like many of her forebears, Natalya Neidhart knew that in order to succeed in WWE - if not necessarily the wrestling business - the word "no" simply wasn't an answer. The idea that you should make a virtue of whatever garbage you're given is one of the company's unchallenged rules, and Nattie believed her wrestling heritage compelled her to uphold this ridiculous tradition - rather than giving her the right to reject it.
"I think the McMahons really embraced that. Look at Stephanie — she’s the biggest character in WWE. She’s just captivating, whether she’s getting thrown into a pool of mud with Vickie Guerrero or being arrested," she told Slam Wrestling in 2012. What she didn't mention is that the Billion Dollar Princess - often and purposefully portrayed as the company's most powerful and important woman - was never handed a storyline in which she suffered from a flatulence problem.
Natalya was. In early 2012, she could regularly be heard parping in backstage skits, on one occasion murdering Hornswoggle by passing gas. There wasn't any particular reason for it beyond 'farting = funny' in the mind of one aging entrepreneur. The seasoned star tried to laugh it off by saying it was the consequence of eating a lot of protein bars, but she must have been crying inside.
