Oh, Alberto El Patron, when will you learn that your negative actions have consequences.
El Patron no showed the cross-promotion event, Impact Wrestling vs. Lucha Underground, this past Friday. Now, the former Impact Wrestling Heavyweight champion has been released from the company.
One source claimed to PWInsider that Patron said he was sick but word going around the locker room was that he simply blew off the show. Strange thing is, Patron did appear at a press conference on Friday afternoon where he and Impact World Champion Austin Aries had a physical scuffle to hype their Redemption pay-per-view match on April 22nd, which obviously isn’t be happening now.
Another story going around New Orleans is that Patron and Impact boss Ed Nordholm were staying in the same hotel and Ed tried to check on Patron but was unable to do so. There was said to be great concern among people in the company over Alberto's well-being on Friday night, so much that there was talk at one point of calling the police for a wellness check.
The Redemption main event has now been changed to a triple threat match with Austin Aries defending his title against Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix.
