10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Feb 12)
10. Natalya Has Hit 800 Match Milestone
Over the weekend, Natalya worked her 800th professional wrestling match. This marks a significant milestone in her career, one that started back at the turn of the new millennium. First working in the year 2000, the Canadian was trained by her uncles Ross and Bruce Hart at the infamous Hart Family Dungeon in Calgary, Alberta. The WWE Diva posted on Instagram to commemorate her achievement. Over the past few years, Natalya hasn't really featured heavily on television, certainly not on shows like Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Instead, most of her work has been done on the faux-reality TV show 'Total Divas' and on the live event circuit. It's there that the woman has wrestled mainly, quietly ticking away in match after match. The 16-year veteran is someone many fans feel should receive more attention from the promotion, although their minds are clearly on others such as Charlotte and Sasha Banks at the moment. Even so, Natalya can now rank herself as one of the most experienced women the company have ever had under contract.
