Description:
Born in Drezna Russia, Katerina Kaneris is the only child of a former Bolshoi ballerina
and one of the country’s top geneticists. Though her parents occupations often had the family traveling
all over Europe (not to mention several other continents) Katerina never forgot the place of her birth
and was extremely proud of being a daughter of Russia. But if there was one thing Kaneris wasn’t
proud of, it was the way her countrymen (and sometimes herself for that matter) were perceived by
those in the places she visited -- namely the stereotype of the typical Russian as cold, arrogant and
domineering. Far from being depressed by this, Katerina went out of her way to befriend the people
around her and soon gained a reputation as an excellent mediator in the numerous academies in which
she was educated.
Discovering athletics in high school, Kaneris excelled in track and field, soccer and hockey but
eventually became dissatisfied with all of them due to what she felt was a lack of individual
competition. Seeking out the perfect test of her prowess, Katerina stumbled into Professional Wrestling
on a stop in Germany and instantly fell in love with the sport. Immersing herself in the industry,
Kaneris soon became a force to be reckoned with and despite numerous promoter’s pressuring her to
‘Drago it up’ Kat never abandoned her goal of changing people’s minds, even if she had to do it one fan
at a time. Ultimately her dedication paid off -- after less than two years on the pro circuit, ‘The
Hammer’ was one of the biggest babyfaces on the European scene, having crushed every heel of note
with her brutal ‘Russian Roulette’ or ‘Kaneris Clutch’.
In search of a new arena to conqueror, Katerina came to the United States and started on the bottom
rung of the ladder, taking on all challengers in myriad sleazy dives, county fairs and high school gyms.
Despite encountering more resistance from the American fans, the brunette soon built a following,
thanks mostly in part to her unbelievable strength and penchant for evening the odds when some
outnumbered fan fave was getting abused by a pack of unscrupulous heels. Following an especially
impressive victory at an indy show outside Orlando, Kaneris caught the eye of FAWN talent scouts and
was promptly brought on as part of Anciline de Cyr’s New Talent Initiative. Now that she’s reached the
grandest stage of women’s wrestling, Katerina Kaneris is determined to hammer out the injustices
plaguing FAWN and prove herself against the best competition in the world, especially former WOLF
champion Becky Clayton.
