Myron interviewed someone who has really impressed him lately, Salina de la Renta. The best part of working on the Tapped Out Podcast is getting to talk to the best and brightest stars in wrestling. The Empresaria, Executive Producer of MLW, Salina de la Renta fits that billing. With her work praised by Jim Cornette and Missy Hyatt, she’s definitely one of the best. It was awesome getting to talk with her and bring our listeners a great show!

Tapped Out Podcast hosts Pete Ingram, Jonathan Rosum, and Dylan Donegan introduce themselves; talk about Ravnica Allegiance spoilers; and go over what archetypes will exist and new standard.
The Rag Tag MADMAN, Alan Angels was Myron’s guest for this episode. He started his wrestling career about a month before we launched the Tapped Out Podcast, and we can only hope we have developed and polished half as well as he has. His match versus AC Mack for the NCW title earlier this year is still Myron’s pick for match of the year. Alan is a man devoted to his craft, a professional who is always training and working to become the best he can be.
