The Cauliflower Alley Club is proud to welcome "The Queen of Harts" Natalya Neidhart into the CAC Hall of Fame as the 2025 recipient of the prestigious Lou Thesz Award.

A trailblazer in every sense of the word, Natalya has carved out a legacy defined by excellence, resilience, and historic firsts. From her deep amateur wrestling roots to her world-renowned technical prowess and mastery of submission wrestling, she has carried the Hart family legacy with unmatched pride—while building a powerhouse legacy of her own.

Throughout her storied career, Natalya has broken records, shattered barriers, and helped redefine what it means to be a woman in professional wrestling. As a competitor, mentor, and role model, she has elevated the business both inside and outside the ring, and her contributions continue to influence generations to come.

We are honored beyond words to announce that Natalya Neidhart is the first female professional wrestler to ever receive the Lou Thesz Award—a recognition reserved for those who exemplify technical brilliance, leadership, and multi-faceted contributions to the industry.

Join us August 18–20, 2025, at the Plaza Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas as we celebrate this historic moment at the 59th Annual Cauliflower Alley Club Reunion.
