Alberto El Patron Skipping Event – New day, same story.  After being fired from IMPACT Wrestling in April, Alberto El Patron was looking for a new home.  It looked like a return to AAA could be possible, as he was booked for the TripleMania XXVI event on August 25th.  Key word, “was”.  Now Patron is not only going to be skipping the event, but he’s claim it’s over pay issues.  Patron claims that AAA never agreed upon a deposit for him.  Considering AAA has had financial issues in the past, and the fact that El Patron has a history of no-showing events in the past, it makes sense that they wouldn’t give him money before he showed up.
