SYREN’S SONG “I can wrestle…I don’t need to wear a teddy to prove that!” Katie Syren is happy that the fans like her, but she’s not doing this for love; the only opinion she cares about when it comes to wrestling is her own…and she’s a stern critic. That’s why she pushes herself to be the best that she can be, and that includes having sought out the legendary Harley Race when she wanted to be trained for the squared circle. She works hard, trains hard, works hard, and enjoys each and every victory that such dedication has earned her. LadySports Online is proud to introduce Katie Syren to fans worldwide!
