Update on Alberto El Patron “no show” Situation
Earlier on Monday, Lone Star Championship Wrestling and Clutch City Productions issued statements regarding Alberto El Patron’s absence from his scheduled participation in Sunday night’s Bustin for Autism event. Clutch City Productions has just released this update, and Lone Star Championship Wrestling will follow their lead in not commenting further at this time.From Clutch City Productions:
We have received word from Alberto’s camp and were provided with information as to why he did not appear at the “Bustin for Autism” event last night in Houston (Pasadena) TX. Although we have documentation that will clearly define the situation in full we are choosing to keep this a private matter at this time. However, we are anticipating that Alberto’s camp will release a statement and take action to rectify the situation.
UPDATE x 2: Toque Filtrado from Mexican sports website Medio Tiempo took to Twitter following rumors that Alberto El Patron has “disappeared.” The tweet reads (translated) as follows:
Despite some rumors that put it as ‘disappeared’, wrestler Alberto el Patron is at home, according to AAA.
UPDATE: Lone Star Championship Wrestling head Chris Ronquillo has issued a statement about Alberto El Patron no-showing their Bustin 4 Autism event last night. Ronquillo expresses concern for Patron, noting that they still haven’t heard from him and saying he “seems to have disappeared.”

STATEMENT FROM LONE STAR CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING
Almost 24 hours later, we still have not heard from the camp of Alberto El Patron. Mr. El Patron was booked through our co-promotion partner Clutch City Productions to headline the Bustin 4 Autism charity pro wrestling event in Pasadena, TX last night.
Mr. El Patron would not know who we are directly, since his camp’s dealings were with our promotional partner. Like the charity and fans who purchased tickets, we are affected. A lot of time, money and effort was put in to this event. Those who know us, understand that we strive to put on quality events. We are a company that our fans can trust. Mr. El Patron’s unexcused and unexplained “no show” unfairly taints that reputation. Though we were not directly involved in the negotiation and booking with El Patron’s camp, there is no doubt that the Bustin 4 Autism team were more than fair and gracious in the process.
At this point, our thoughts are initially with Mr. El Patron’s well being. He seems to have disappeared. Once the dust settles, we are confident that Mr. El Patron will do the right thing and return the deposit he was paid, along with premium travel funds lost by the charity. We might also suggest that Mr. El Patron take it a step further, and make an additional donation to the charity.
We would like to thank the fans and sponsors who stepped up to support this event for the Bustin 4 Autism 501c group. We would also like to recognize our co-promotional partner, Clutch City Productions, who put forth an incredible effort to promote and help organize this event. We look forward to working with them and the Bustin 4 Autism folks in the future.
In closing, we also thank the wrestlers who stepped up to make this a memorable event, as well as the many staff members and volunteers who contributed in some manner.

ORIGINAL: Alberto El Patron didn’t show up for his match at Lone Star Championship Wrestling’s benefit show “Bustin 4 Autism” in Pasadena, Texas. Alberto was talking with them before the event and was paid in advance with premium travel and accommodations. He has yet to explain why he wasn’t there.
In a statement, Clutch City Productions said: “We would like to sincerely apologize to all the fans that came out expecting to see Alberto “El Patron” (Del Rio) in action tonight. Alberto was advertised as the main event for the “Bustin for Autism” charity event in Houston (Pasadena) TX and he did not show up.
Fans in the Houston area are familiar with our company and know that we have an excellent reputation. We would never false advertise any talent or mislead the fans. We will always state the facts, as of 11:55PM we have not received any information from Alberto’s “camp” as to why he did not appear at the event. Alberto helped us promote the event through his social media and as of 9:00PM yesterday there has always been constant communication. Alberto was given money up front as a deposit, he was provided with a four-star hotel, as well as first class air-fare. We followed through with all the terms that were required by Alberto and have numerous e-mails, and text with all this information.
We understand that unforeseen circumstances sometimes happen and we are hoping that Alberto is doing well. It is unclear what caused the “no-show” but it is very difficult to comprehend as to why we weren’t notified by a member of his camp. Alberto was to appear at an autograph session before his match from 4:00PM-6:00P, we have been attempting to contact him since 12:00PM today. Nevertheless, we scrambled and did everything possible to make sure that the fans of LoneStar Championship Wrestling left satisfied. Special thanks to professionals such as Tommy Dreamer & Lance Hoyt (who put on a hardcore match as the main event), and Gene Snitsky (who faced Carson in Alberto’s place).
Again, we thank all the fans that came out tonight and supported a great cause!”
Here are the results:
(1) Cherry Ramons def. Joey Ryan to retain the LS Cruiserweight title.
(2) The Empire def. Real Nigeria, The Sons of Texas, and David Duperon/Americos to become the new LS tag champions.
(3) Colt Cabana def. Raj Singh
(4) John Saxton def. Ricky Starks to retain the LS Heavyweight title.
