It is the hope of any parent that their children will someday not only live up to their example, but actually supersede them.

Clearly, Jim Neidhart can look down from the heavens upon his daughter Natalya and feel some of that pride. Jim was a high school and collegiate standout athlete, a power lifter and body builder who caught the eye of promoter Stu Hart.

Neidhart survived the infamous "Hart Dungeon", a place where the dreams of being a wrestler either came to fruition or were ground to dust. He persevered, and also found himself married to one of Hart's daughters.

Natalya has royalty in her blood from a wrestling standpoint. Her grandfather was a legendary wrestler and promoter, as was her father, and her Uncle is Bret "The Hitman" Hart. But here's the thing that a lot of people may not want to admit, not even Natalya herself; She's a better wrestler than all of them.

Her performance at Evolution, including a powerbomb in homage to her father, a Hart Attack performed with Banks, and a double sharpshooter all served to illustrate she exists as a bridge between the past and the future of wrestling. And Jim Neidhart, wherever he's watching from, couldn't be more proud.
