National Wrestling Alliance superstar Natalia Markova recently spoke with PWMania.com for a variety of topics, including how she feels about WWE star Carmella, whom Markova said stole her catchphrase.
“I lecture so much against any drama, I didn’t even know until people started tagging me about her using my catchphrase,” said Markova. “I would have expected her to stop doing that out of respect for the wrestling business. I’m a known wrestler, I’ve done a lot. I’ve had a big career, even though I’m not the most popular wrestler, people know about me.”
The issues stem from a series of photos Carmella posted on Twitter earlier this week, in which she calls herself “a badass with a great ass.” This is something that Markova has been saying about herself for some time, and something that fans immediately picked up on. For Markova, though, she found the moment “disrespectful,” and hoped that Carmella would stop.
“Stuff like that is cheap and not the right thing to do,” Markova said. “I think stealing is bad, it doesn’t matter if you’re a big star or a small star. It’s just disrespectful and if she wants to be a noble person she has to stop using my catchphrase.”
