After a three-year hiatus, one of MLW's most popular stars in the company's history, Salina de la Renta, has returned to Major League Wrestling.
This week, the returning Salina De La Renta joined Fightful's Wrestling Perspective Podcast with Dennis Farrell and Lars Frederiksen for an exclusive interview.
Salina was asked by Farrell if she felt like a rookie or if she felt like she was coming back to MLW in a leadership role. Salina would go more in-depth with her answer and explain how she left a legacy.
Salina says, "Well, I don't recognize more than half the faces, but they all recognize me. So, that just says that I have left a legacy behind. So, I will never be a newbie in Major League Wrestling. I feel like when you say MLW, you immediately think of me; you can think of many other wrestlers at the same time, but as far as the females go, you always think about Salina de la Renta first. I always make a point to make myself known. So, I'm back, and I'm taking over that's what's happening."
Salina would also discuss when she knew that she officially "made it" in the industry, but it was only after being told by someone else.
"Somebody had to tell me; it was L.A. Park. I don't remember how long in my career I've been at this point, but I remember saying to him. Yeah, one day I'm going to be as big as everybody here, and he said, What are you talking about? You already are. I was like, oh, he's being sweet. Then, I got interviewed by Sports Illustrated, and I could see that my social media kept growing and growing and growing. I started making a significant amount of more money."
"I think that I can officially say that I've made it. There's a Wikipedia page on me. I'm like, I got a blue check mark. I think that's it. I think that's it. So I was invited to, during WrestleMania week, to do Wrestlecon. I happened to be there, so it was then that I was like, okay, I think I'm officially a face in wrestling."
