WWE Star Natalya Comments on Father Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart's Death

WWE star Natalya honored her father, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, on Twitter following his death Monday.

"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," Natalya said. "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."

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office confirmed on Monday that Neidhart died after falling at his home in Wesley Chapel, Florida, per the Tampa Bay Times' Paul Guzzo.

The Associated Press' Dan Gelston spoke to Neidhart's brother-in-law, Ross Hart, who said the former WWE star had been suffering from Alzheimer's disease and may have had a seizure that led to his fall.

Neidhart was a former tag team champion as one half of The Hart Foundation with Bret Hart. He also enjoyed a successful run in 1997 when The Hart Foundation grew to include Owen Hart, Brian Pillman and The British Bulldog.

His legacy carries on through his daughter, who has enjoyed plenty of success on her own in WWE. Natalya has held both the Divas Championship and SmackDown Live Women's Championship, and she may be headed for a marquee match with Ronda Rousey in the coming months.
