Red Alert!
by Tim 'The Tow Truck' Towe

As WCW Nitro Girl Syren Allison Pfau has everyone's Attention

  Sirens are used to get people's attention. Flashy and usually bright red
in color, sirens tend to scream, "Watch out, here I come!"

  The same can be said of Syren, a member of World Championship Wrestling's
Nitro Girls. Just as it is difficult not to notice a siren when it flashes
on top of a police car or fire truck, it is equally difficult to miss this
5-foot-3-inch fiery redhead when she dances for the wrestling fans on Nitro.

   WOW recently sat down with this hot, new talent to find out more about
what makes this Syren so bright.

Q: What is your real name and why did you choose the stage name Syren?

A: My real name is Allison Pfau. I chose Syren because I wanted to have a
name that refers to my red hair, and since sirens are red...

Q: Speaking of Sirens your police gimmick has made you pretty popular with
the wrestling fans. Do you think wrestling fans have some crazy policewoman
fetish?

A: I am not sure, but I suppose it's possible that some fans may have
handcuff fetishes. But seriously, I think it just surprised people to see a
Nitro Girl came walking down the ramp handing out fake citations that say,
'You've been a bad boy!'

Q: I read in your biography, availiblr as www.nitrogirls.com, that you were
once a bartender. Help some of your 21-and-over male wrestling fans by
telling them one major no-no they should avoid while trying to meet a woman
at a bar.

A. I bartended my way through college and have witnessed many men getting
shot down by some of the female customers. If I had to choose one major
no-no, it would be approaching women with a cheesy pick-up line. My advice
to men who like to meet women in bars is that if you see a woman you find
attractive, simply have the bartender send over a round of drinks. That way
you are letting the woman know you are interested and are leaving it up to
her to make the next move. If she is interested, she will either return the
favor or come over to talk. If she doesn't respond, or just mouths a quick
'thanks,' then you should probably leave the situation alone.

Q: Most bartenders have a favorite drink to make. What was yours and why?

A: I like to make margaritas because they remind me of summer, my favorite
time of year!

Q: I also read that you, just like Nitro Girl Chiquita, were a member of
the Philadelphia 76ers dance team, the basketball team had some pretty lean
years for a while. Now that it is tearing up the NBA, do you wish you had
stayed?

A: This may sound corny, but I hold my memories of dancing for the Sixers
in a very special place in my heart. I was born and raised in a suburb of
Philadelphia, and growing up there you realize how serious its residents
take their local sports teams. For me, dancing for the Sixers was a great
honor, and the games were so much fun. Even if the Sixers weren't doing as
well as they are right now, a part of me would still miss doing it. However,
I left the dance team because I felt it was time to focus my energy on
larger things.

Q: How did working with the dance team help prepare you for the Nitro Girls?

A: There are many similarities between the Nitro Girls and the Sixers [dance
teamj. Perhaps the largest is that both jobs provide entertainment for people
who come to see a sporting event. Also, both jobs place great importance on
being able to get along and work with co-workers, which in both cases are all
women!

Q: Is there something special about the 76ers dance team the produces such
awesome Nitro Girls?

A: Dancing for the Sixers definity instilled a discipline that has carried
over into the Nitro Girls. We practiced extensively, we were not allowed to
be even five minutes late for practice or games and we were responsible for
[being] together for every function we attended.

Q: You are the newest member of the Nitro Girls, how do you think you have
fit in so far?

A: Actually, as of [late November], I am no longer the newest member. We
have a new blonde named Jamie [at press time, her stage name had yet to be
been decided], and she is great! But as far as my transition goes, I felt
that it went very well.

Q: I have found that many of the bombshells featured previously in WOW
Magazine were not wrestling fans growing up, did you enjoy wrestling as a
child? And if so, who did you enjoy watching the most?

A: When I was in grade school, I used to watch GLOW (Gorgeous Ladies of
Wrestling) every Saturday. But as for my all-time favorite wrestling
character it would have to be Hulk Hogan. It was a real trip to see him in
person after I became a Nitro Girl.

Q: What has been your Nitro Girls highlight this far?

A: It's hard to pinpoint one moment, because I have already had so many great
experiences. But I do have to say that I never laughed so hard as the day I
met Beetlejuice and the rest of Howard Stern's 'whack pack.' Those guys were
crazy!

Q: Your biography also said that you have been studing dance since you were
8 years old. What would you be doingif you were not dancing for a living?

A: Since I graduated from college with a degree in fashion design and
merchandising, I think it is safe to say that if I wasn't dancing, I would
probably be working in fashion. I've always had a strong interest in fashion,
although it does come secondary to my love for dance.

Q: In closing, I hear you have a serious dislike for cheese. What is that
all about?

A. It's funny. Since my first Nitro Girl interview, in which I was asked to
tell something about myself that no one knows - I told them I don't like
cheese - everybody keeps bringing that up. The history with me and cheese
is this: When I was about 5 years old, I ate so much cheese one day that it
made me sick. Since that day, I have not eaten cheese except for an
occasional bit on pizza. My father, who I must take after, doesn't like
cheese either, not even on pizza. So why did I use this piece of information
as the answer to what no one knows about me? Because no matter how many
times I tell, people, everyone but my mother forgets that I don't like
cheese. This is especially bothersome when I am in a restaurant and I order
an entre requesting no cheese. Nine times out of 10 you better believe it
still comes out with cheese. I also don't like cheesy things like cheesy
music, clothing and people, and going back to my bartender days, cheesy
pick-up lines!
