Natalya doesn’t plan on hanging up her wrestling boots anytime soon.
WWE Superstar Natalya was a recent guest on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet. When asked if she has any plans to retire in the near future, Natalya said she’s feeling really good and compares her career to the song Hotel California by The Eagles.
“I just feel so good. That’s the crazy thing is that, like people always say oh, when are you gonna wrap it up? When is it gonna be done? It’s like, Listen, this is “Hotel California”. You can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave,” Natalya said. “Once you do this, like I’m a wrestler through and through. It’ll never ever, ever, ever, ever leave me ever.
“It’s a community, It’s a family, It’s a lifestyle. It’s a way of life, and it doesn’t mean that I’ll be competing forever. But when I saw Rey Mysterio, I was watching him in a match. I was live at a show, and I went into the crowd and like put a hat on and watched him; I was incognito, and I watched Rey perform live. It was in Mexico, and he was wrestling Roman Reigns. And I was just like Rey is almost 50, and he is doing the best work of his career.
Rey Mysterio inspires Natalya
“He’s so inspiring, his gear, his look, his energy, his vibe, his ability to move around to make people feel something, and granted, he was in there with one of the greatest of all time Roman, but Rey is one of the greatest of all time. He just inspires me so much, and I’m not close to being done when I look at like what Rey’s doing.
“I’m like Rey inspires me to want to do so much more and to also help people because you look at who Rey’s worked with and how much he’s helped people even with Santos right now. I look up to so much as Rey, what he’s done.”
