MLW: Salina De La Renta Discusses Return and Kevin Knight Applauds Mercedes Martinez
Salina De La Renta made her return to Major League Wrestling several weeks ago, and she recently spoke with the “Wrestling Perspective Podcast” to discuss why she decided to return to the company, when she knew she’d ‘made it’ in wrestling, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her return to MLW: “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.”
On when she knew she’d ‘made it’ in wrestling: “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.”
Kevin Knight has nothing but high praise for Mercedes Mone, going as far as to call her the Beyoncé of the professional wrestling world.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “Women’s Wrestling Talk” podcast, the indie wrestler commented on his experiences with Mone, what she brings to wrestling, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his experiences with Mercedes Mone: “I never got to have a full conversation with yet. I’ve only met her twice, and that was just saying ‘hey’ in passing. I don’t like to bother people backstage. They got something going on, I just let them do their thing, and I’m focusing on my match anyway.”
On what Mone brings to wrestling: “I’m excited to see the things that she’ll bring to the independent world, to the New Japan/STARDOM world because she’s literally like the Beyoncé of wrestling. Wherever she goes, her fans are following, so it’s gonna sell out everywhere. So it’s only good business in my opinion. I’m excited to see how see does things on her own.”
