What’s up Natalya fans! Long time no update, I’m sorry. Erin and I are both huge Nattie fans and are commited to the site but we’ve both been pretty busy of late. Another issue we finally need to address is our hosting situation, you guys have probably noticed that the site acts up and it’s very, very annoying. We are going to be moving to a new host so hopefully everything will work itself out when we do!

Thanks to everyone for visiting and supporting, we hope to be back and all updated in time for the Great American Bash when Natalya will face Michelle McCool for the Divas Championship!

WWE.com has added a new Natalya photoshoot, this one titled “Best in Black”. She looks simple and gorgeous! Now, let’s just see if she can add an accessory in the form of the Divas Championship belt come the Great American Bash..

In honour of Father’s Day, Natalya and other WWE Superstars spoke to WWE.com about their famous dads. Read what Natalya had to say below:

Smith’s third-generation SmackDown Diva cousin, Natalya, daughter of Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart, made her debut just three months ago and she is already in the running for the newly-created Divas Championship. Though dominant and fierce in the ring, the Diva has many light-hearted childhood memories of her father.

“The Jim Neidhart that people saw on TV was the Jim Neidhart we had at home,” she recalled. “When he spoke to us, like if we were lying to him, he would pull his beard.”

“The funny thing is, is that my dad has always loved spandex as long as I can remember,” Natalya added. “The one and only PTA meeting my dad ever came to, he came on his Ninja motorcycle, no shirt on, a helmet that said ‘Fat Chicks Rule,’ and spandex and knee pads.”

Natalya is once again featured in this week’s Diva Dish, read all about it below:

Divas Down Under
The SmackDown/ECW tour of Australia and New Zealand is in full swing, but before Natalya and Victoria took the long plane ride to the land Down Under, Diva Dish caught up with the best buds.

“The best part of our jobs is that we get to wrestle and entertain in front of our fans from all over the world. So I’m very curious to see what the Australian fans will be like, and feel their energy,” Natalya said.

The Diva planned to spend some of her limited free time sightseeing and doing a charity appearance.

“I’m really excited to go a hospital there – it’s the first time I’m going to one with WWE and visiting kids. So I’m looking forward to that because my family did a lot of charity work, and this is my first time,” the SmackDown Diva said.

Natalya’s BFF, Victoria, has been to Australia and New Zealand three times on WWE tours, but she’s never gone sightseeing. Natalya’s interested in seeing a wombat and a kangaroo, and Victoria, well, she’s interested in catching some other wildlife.

“I actually want to enjoy myself there, you know? I always enjoy myself, but I want to be able to relax and see some blokes … Isn’t that how you say boys?” Victoria said.

Honoring Dad
With Father’s Day quickly approaching, we talked to the Divas about what makes their dads special. Who better to begin with than third-generation Diva Natalya, daughter of Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart.

“My dad has always been very much himself. My dad is very wild, he’s very crazy, he’s very charismatic, he’s very unorthodox, but he’s been very, very consistent in his character. He really is himself, whether people like or hate it,” the Diva said.

Natalya described her dad as loyal, private and a firm believer in relationships. While he was often traveling with WWE when the young Natalya was growing up, she said he always managed to find plenty of time to spend with his children. And although at first he wasn’t in favor of Natalya’s sports-entertainment dreams, he backs her 100 percent today.

“My dad has totally embraced it. He’s so excited for me because he sees how much I love it. He sees I’ve done my homework, which he taught me to do,” she said. “I’ve been disciplined, I’ve been true to myself and I have confidence in the ring, which was given to me, by him. He instilled a lot of his morals in me. Now he’s totally embraced it. He’s one of my biggest fans. I’m very, very grateful to have my dad in my life.”

SmackDown! and ECW are currently on tour, and they’ve recently made a pit stop in Auckland, New Zealand, where Natalya, along with CM Punk and MVP, met a few New Zealand Rugby players. WWE.com has added photos of the promotional encounter, which you can see by clicking the link below.

This week on SmackDown!, GM Vickie Guerrero that the brand will be getting it’s own women’s title - the WWE Divas Championship.

The Divas of SmackDown! and ECW participated in a “Golden Dreams Match” with the winner competing in the Divas Championship match. To win, the Divas have to grab the big gold star hanging on a pole. Natalya won the match after a powerbomb-suplex combo with Victoria and Michelle.

It’s a big day for Natalya (you’ll see why when we post SmackDown! media) and it’s just been made a little more special! Natalya and Victoria’s friendship is once again featured in Diva Dish at WWE.com… this time with pictures!

Victoria + Natalya = BBF 4-Ever
Two of SmackDown’s most devious Divas seem to be joined at the hip lately. Whether it’s in the ring, in the Divas’ locker room or out on the town, Victoria and Natalya are inseparable. They’ve even been spotted sporting custom-made, matching “Best Friends” T-shirts and necklaces. Diva Dish recently sat down for a chat (or should we say ego-fest?) with the BFFs.

“I went shopping today. I got us matching necklaces. We had special custom T-shirts made that say ‘Best Friends’ and they’re a split heart, just like the necklace,” Victoria told Diva Dish.

“You went all out and it was such a surprise because May 27 was my birthday,” Natalya chimed in. “I came into the building and this little one over here had a package waiting for me. She went out and got the shirts, and had them custom made for me. I thought I was going to cry, but you know, being third-generation, we don’t cry.”

“We don’t cry! There’s no crying in wrestling!” Victoria replied.

“You can give me a high-five on that one, girlfriend!” Natalya said, as the duo erupted in laughter.

Victoria said she’s grown so close to Natalya since she became a Diva, they act like sisters. And the Divas aren’t joking when they say they finish each other’s sentences.

“One thing I have to say, and I believe this in my heart of hearts, is that what you have that I was most attracted to, is that you’re violent and original,” Natalya said to Victoria. “And for me it’s like, there is not another woman who I can find who can get on my level to be violent and original. She brings it. Every single night there’s just this energy and I feed off it.”

“We’re very lucky because I feed off her, because she’s very talented. You’re very original, too. I’ve learned wrestling skills from you. Your confidence level is amazing out there,” Victoria told her best bud.

“You are amazing,” Natalya said.

“You are amazing,” Victoria responded.

“We are — ” Natalya started.

“Amazing!” Victoria finished.

When Diva Dish informed the pals they were two of the most downloaded Divas on WWE.com in recent weeks, Victoria admitted she was a little bit surprised.

“I’m so used to people downloading those little skinny girls, like Kelly Kelly and Michelle – the cookie-cutter blonds. Now it shows we’re being appreciated as athletes with wrestling abilities – that we can back up what we do,” Victoria said.

But Natalya wasn’t shocked she and her best friend are making waves online.

“Naturally, being the first third-generation Diva in WWE, it just felt right when I heard I was one of the most downloaded Divas,” Natalya said.

“People want to know what I’m up to, what I’m wearing, what I’m talking about, what we’re doing, what we’ve been doing – they just want to see Natalya and Victoria. She doesn’t give herself enough credit, but this woman is amazing. I know it’s not Valentine’s Day, but I wouldn’t be able to do it without you,” Natalya said, looking at her friend.

“Awwww. You give me a hug. Come here, BFF!” Victoria said, embracing her friend and then continuing: “We have good chemistry in the ring and outside the ring. I think it shows in our performance. We put our hearts and souls into every single match. We try to be the best, because you know what?”

“When you mess with the best, you go down with the rest. Yeah, baby!” the two said in unison.
