Salina de la Renta for me. Love her on MLW and she would fit perfectly in my lucha territory.

I actually signed both Salina de la Renta and Marty Elias.
I signed Salina de la Renta last year in San Diego at Expo Lucha 2. I was surprised to see her there because she had previously been announced for only Day 2 (and I only went to San Diego for Day 1 of Expo Lucha 2) but she was at a table with Disco Inferno and I asked her to be in the game. At first I think there was a misunderstanding as she thought I wanted to give her the cards I was showing her (I like Salina but I don't want to give her my autographed RUSH and my autographed Bandido cards lol.) I then re-explained that I was asking to see if she wanted to be in the game and she said yes and signed the release form. I also took a picture with Salina de la Renta, I should try to find that picture and post it here.
In Major League Wrestling, Salina de la Renta has both a promotional license and a managerial license, so there is alot of ways to use her card (although the back would mostly be a manager's distraction chart based on things she has done at ringside in Major League Wrestling.) She has also feuded with wrestlers such as Mance Warner and Konnan who are in the game.
I signed Marty Elias at the first Expo Lucha in September 2018 in Las Vegas. At that time Lucha Underground was still operating and had a table at Expo Lucha and as I was showing someone the cards for some of the wrestlers in Expo Lucha, Marty (who I remember particularly liked the just-released card for Thunder Rosa- that was a very popular card at Expo Lucha and it led to more than 1 signing) asked why we did not have a Marty Elias card and I told him if he signed the form then someday we might. Although he was the senior official for Lucha Underground, Mary Elias also worked in the WWE for awhile and he was actually the referee for the legendary Wrestlemania 25 match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker.
Although I like all 3 possibilities, I voted for Salina.

Voted for Larry Legend, as that’s the only card I would find use for. Kinda disappointed to read some people’s reason for their vote 🙄

This is really cool!
Salina has a 20 vote lead and even if she does not win this poll I think enough support has already clearly been shown for her that it makes a future card for her likely regardless (like Aussie Open last year who narrowly lost that tag poll so Team Sea Stars had their cards produced first- in accordance with the fans vote- but Aussie Open still got cards- it was just later than it would have been otherwise as the votes of the fans should be acknowledged.)
So again this is basically a vote for who should have a card first and not if you lose then you should not get a card at all.
I really admire Saline. From my understanding, she has broken down barriers as a Latina in both broadcasting and as a wrestling executive. I was really excited (and I still am) when I got her to sign with Filsinger Games!

There are alot of really cool podcasts with Salina de la Renta. But I wanted to share this one from less than a year ago as it is relatively short (I think less than 15 minutes) where Salina talks about things such as her switch from being an active wrestler to her current roles (partly due to injuries and partly due to her college studies,) her past connection to Larry Zbyszko, her role producing MLW content, and her strong devotion to MLW.

Kinda disappointed to read some people’s reason for their vote 🙄 I think it’s safe to say we were all being tongue in cheek with those responses. Yes, she’s very attractive, but it’s not like we’re just going to stare at her drawing all day. (We have the Internet for that.) if she wasn’t making a solid contribution to independent wrestling—yes, as a Latina, but more generally as a skilled performer—we wouldn’t have voted for her. If you must know, I voted for her because I’ve never heard of the other two, and because I currently run an MLW fed where she would fit in nicely. I currently have Karlee Perez in MLW managing Mil Muertes. I think a feud between Salina and Perez to determine who is the alpha female in MLW would be awesome.

Yes, even if I had not signed Salina, I would have voted for her as I respect her professional achievements in regards to broadcasting and executive producing. I really think most people here did vote for Salina based on her accomplishments and her creative and entertaining skill as a ringside manager and not simply for her looks. Salina is awesome and I hope she wins this poll!

I know this is not the best picture but here is a picture of me and Salina de la Renta after I signed her to the game last year in San Diego:
