WWE Star Nattie Discusses Opening Dungeon Training School
The Hart Family Dungeon, originally founded by family patriarch Stu Hart, saw to the training of many wrestlers who would go on to have prominent careers. As a member of the Hart family and a Dungeon trainee herself, WWE's Natalya (aka Nattie) has been spearheading the new version of the Dungeon, and during an interview with the "Battleground Podcast," she talked about the prospect of opening the school to the public.
"One day, if the opportunity presents itself, we definitely could," she admitted. "But the way it stands right now, and I'm going to be brutally honest, if you don't have passion and you aren't somebody that I see that you love this business with every ounce of your being, I don't want you at the Dungeon, and that's why it's invite only."
She quickly clarified that she and her husband, TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd), have never charged anyone to train in the Dungeon, and have spent more money keeping the training center open.
"I only want to work with people that have a deep passion for this," she said. "If I take someone's money, for example, and I don't like you and I don't like your attitude, or you're just not the right fit, or you don't come in and you know, bring great things to the table, then I can't work with you."
