There aren’t many people in professional wrestling who live up to the character they play on screen, but Nattie Neidhart does — and then some. I’ve interacted with her on Twitter and met her in person at a meet and greet before SummerSlam this past August, and I can tell you firsthand: she’s every bit as kind, genuine, and gracious as you’d hope someone from the legendary Hart family would be.
Her new book, The Last Hart Beating, is everything you’d expect from someone who carries that legacy but refuses to be defined solely by it. It’s part memoir, part love letter to family, part reflection on what it takes to keep going when life throws every obstacle at you. From growing up in the Dungeon to finding her place in a constantly changing WWE, Nattie’s story isn’t just about wrestling — it’s about resilience.
What struck me most is how personal it feels. She writes with the same warmth she gives fans in person, balancing vulnerability with strength. She doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff — family loss, career pressure, public scrutiny — but she faces it all with class.
For longtime fans, The Last Hart Beating isn’t just another wrestling memoir. It’s a reminder that behind every entrance theme and championship belt is a real person with a story that still beats strong. And for those of us lucky enough to meet her, that heart shines even brighter in person.
