Court Bauer would be a proud man if Salina de la Renta was his successor in handling the day-to-day operations of Major League Wrestling.
Salina de la Renta is not only the on-screen promotor of Promociones Dorado in MLW but she's hands-on behind the scenes at Major League Wrestling. Fightful Select initially reported in March that de la Renta had been promoted to creative director of the women's division in MLW.
Now, Court Bauer, in a new interview with Fightful's Iridian Fierro for WGN Radio 720, has said that he sees Salina de la Renta as a strong candidate to take over MLW if something were to happen to him.
"When I brought her in, I said, 'Look, we want to start you at this level. My goal is for you to be one of the top three people behind the scenes of the company and executive level, not just creative, [but to] understand how you run a business.' Thaw was when she was 21/22," he recalled. "'So, if you want that, we will help you get to that point. That's where I see your future. If you want it, it's up to you.
'"I'll say this, if something happened to me and I just wasn't in MLW, if I drop dead, she's one of the candidates to take over MLW. She's got it," he continued. "A lot of people don't think about succession plans, especially promoters, because we're in the moment, but she gets it. She knows how to work with talent. She knows how to run a business. Outside of wrestling, she works a lot in TV and film running businesses. So she gets it and so I say I would be very comfortable with somebody like Salina de la Renta one day running MLW. I think, if that were to happen, mission accomplished. I did my job in allowing her to have the skill set, the experience, and understanding of how to do a very complicated job, a very high-pressure job, and I don't think she'd have a problem doing it."
