GFW has stripped Alberto El Patron of his Unified World
Championship and so he will not be at this week’s TV tapings. Since the tapings
were to cover TV all the way to the end October which would lead to Bound for
Glory a new champion will have to be chosen. The move apparently came from new
owner Ed Nordholm. That’s even after Alberto was cleared of all charges
surrounding the Orlando Airport incident between him and Paige so this suggests
GFW has for the moment soured on him.

GFW released this statement: "GFW has concluded its internal consideration of
the events surrounding the suspension of Alberto El Patron. While it is apparent
that initial reports unfairly characterized El Patron's involvement in the
incident in the Orlando airport, we are nonetheless disappointed with the manner
in which he dealt with this situation, we expect more decorum from all on the
GFW roster, especially the World Champion. We have communicated with El Patron
our decision to strip him of his championship title. No decision has been taken
as to the date on which he will be reinstated to the roster, the conditions of
which are a private matter between the company and El Patron." It’s expected
that the championship picture will be laid out at the first taping. Lucha
Underground’s John Morrison is expected to be at that taping. |
