Yesterday morning (August 13th), the unfortunate news broke that former two-time WWE Tag Team Champion Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart had passed away. According to TMZ Sports, Neidhart died after a fall at his home.
Neidhart’s daughter Natalya has taken to social media to comment on the passing of her famous father, promising to keep his memory alive:
I can’t put into words how hard it is going to be for myself and our family to have to say goodbye to my dad. He meant the world to us, and nothing will ever replace the special times we shared together as a family. My dad was always a fighter and an incredibly special person. There was no one like him! I’m just gonna miss him so much. We are going to hold all of the moments we had with him close to our hearts forever and never let them go. I promise to keep your memory alive. We love you so much, Daddy! On behalf of my entire family, we would also like to personally thank everyone for the outpouring of thoughts and prayers. It’s meant so much to us.
Natalya was originally scheduled to wrestle Alexa Bliss on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw but was pulled from the show.
Total Divas fans saw firsthand the close relationship Natalya shared with her father:
On behalf of everyone here at Diva Dirt, we continue to send our condolences and love to Neidhart’s family, friends, and fans during this difficult time.
