Natalya might hold several Guinness Book of World Records, but her father, Jim Neidhart, has a record of his own.

Before entering the world of professional wrestling, WWE Hall of Famer Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart was setting records in Shotputting. When a fan on social media pointed out to Natalya that her father still holds a school record he set in 1973, Nattie told the story about how her dad shifted to wrestling.

“Just a family of record holders! Always really proud of my dad’s Shotputting records. When my grandfather Stu met my dad, he saw what an incredible and disciplined athlete my dad was (with a lot of personality! *Sunglasses emoji*) and told him “you should get into wrestling…” The rest is history. *Red heart emoji*” Natalya said in a post.

Natalya won’t be able to add Queen of the Ring winner to her impressive resume this year as she lost in the first round of the tournament on RAW earlier this week to IYO SKY.
