WWE SmackDown: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Dec 13)
7. The Glaring Contrast In Natalya's Name Plate
The name plate graphics that flash up weekly on SmackDown Live often house some eye-opening information. Much of this is character based, such as putting over the fact that Carmella used to be a back up dancer for Rihanna on tour. Then, there's the info displayed for females like Natalya.
One of the more accomplished in-ring performers on the female side, the Canadian legitimately was the first woman to successfully train at The Hart Dungeon in Calgary, something that she should rightly shout from the rooftops about. Unfortunately, her own company downplayed such an achievement by listing it alongside something else on SmackDown.
Right above that impactful Hart Dungeon message, it said that Natalya stars on Total Divas weekly. The faux-reality TV show is popular, however it's likely loathed by a more hardcore section of the WWE fan base. In other words, those who favour actual wrestling will see Total Divas as a hindrance.
The contrast between being a reality TV star and training at Stu Hart's legendary Dungeon could not be greater.
