Nattie Says She’ll Never Stop Paying Her Dues, Cites Rey Mysterio As Inspiration

Nattie says that she’s never going to rest on her laurels, and she says Rey Mysterio is an Inspiration for her in that way. Nattie has set a number of Guinness World Records for her work in WWE and has several accolades in the business.

However, the WWE star told the Toronto Sun in an interview that she won’t ever try to stop proving herself, noting that Mysterio is an example of someone who has always strived to be at the top of the industry. You can see some highlights below:

On Not Resting On Her Laurels:

“Bubba Dudley said to me, he goes, ‘Why do you feel that you have to keep on paying your dues?’ And I’m like, ‘The rent is always due.’ As long as I’m going to keep competing in this business, I will never stop paying my dues. I will never rest on, ‘Oh, I’ve got seven Guinness World Records,’ or ‘I’ve had close to 2,000 matches,’ or ‘I’ve done this in WWE, or I did this or I did this.’ To me, you got to keep paying those dues.”

On Rey Mysterio Being an Inspiration:

“Rey Mysterio last night on Raw, I was watching him and I’m like, he never stopped trying to keep himself at the very, very top. Which is why I think Rey Mysterio personally is the greatest pro wrestler in the world. He is four decades into his career, and he is firing on all cylinders. He never stopped paying his dues. And granted, he doesn’t need to explain to the world who he is. But if you ask him, he’ll explain it to you, and he’ll do it in a humble way.

“So, I look to somebody like Rey for a lot of advice and for as a great example of like, ‘No, you don’t just sit there and rest on your laurels. You continue to do great work.'”
