"Former WWE champion Alberto El Patron has pulled out of Wrestlecon in Orlando, Florida, citing the recent Paige situation.

A statement released by Patron reads:

'Due to the invasion of our privacy, I need to be home with the person that needs me more at the moment and our family. Thanks for your support and I'll be seeing you next time.'"

That doesnt really seem like good news tbh. Because it means either he is too embarrassed to show his face at a public event, or that Paige is so distraught he can't even leave her side for a weekend. I hope its not the latter, because her parents were saying something similar about her being really upset and possibly even suicidal.

Nice to see that he is sticking by her though, Im sure a lot of people thought that he wouldn't. Hope they get through this difficult time.

The amount of hate on here for a clearly troubled young woman here is worrying.
This is what I think. There comes a line where even if you completely despise a talent when push comes to shove, they are human beings at the end of the day that make mistakes and haven't done anything wrong to you.

Imagine if John Cena was involved in something like this, or Roman Reigns even there would be people really enjoying watching them crash and burn. I think that's really sad when it gets to the extent.

The passion and hate some people have in this kinda thing is quite sad. Though they do say love and hate are two very close emotions.

I just feel that there comes to a point where it's too much. There's talents I'm not really a fan of but if I saw something like this happening to them, I would get no enjoyment at all and would feel complete compassion and empathy for them regardless of my personal feelings for them outside of this.

I think some people can't separate that or they take it too far. I dunno, but I hear you on that.

Suicidal? Jesus she is dramatic and so are her friggin parents that stir the pot even more. She's not the only person involved in this, I don't see Woods or Maddox wanting to kill themselves it happened years ago get over it honestly.

Well, you can't really compare, as everyone is different.

Seems Woods is more the joking type about it and I read the other day that Maddox completely removed himself from social media. Everyone handles things differently.

I think 'get over it' is easier said than done....it's clearly an embarrassing act that most people wouldn't want to let the world see. Not everyone has the 'oh well, it happened' mentality.

I think it was a dumb move on everyone's part. People's personal shit shouldn't be distributed by anyone but the people involved, but, especially in this day and age, it's going to happen, especially if you are famous, so, really, dumb to keep that shit, and I think it's weird that these old videos were even in her possession....she is with someone new, who the fuck keeps old sex tapes of them with other people?

Although some will perceive it that way based on their own personal beliefs, morals and standards, there is nothing inherently wrong with what Paige did. Some people will criticize her, then pull pornhub up before they go to bed. Some people want her head on a stake. Some people don't care at all. People have different reactions to different things, and that's just how the world works, especially now with how easy it is to anonymously give your opinion on things that don't matter to you. She's going to get heat from SOMEONE about literally anything she says or does in any situation.

I can understand the immediate reaction of panicking or being depressed about something like this happening. But realistically, she should have known that something like this could happen and prepared for it. There is no justification for her private pictures and videos being stolen and released to the public. That is a crime and shouldn't be tolerated or condoned. However, if you allow yourself to be filmed by your boyfriend while you have sex with his friend, by two different cameras, on top of the multiple other videos and pictures you took, you honestly have to know in the back of your mind, in this day and age, that something like this happening is a real possibility. Cry about it, be upset about it, do whatever you have to do. Then brush yourself off and move on.

That being said, because it's so fresh in everyone's minds, I don't necessarily blame Del Rio for pulling out. Although, I'm a little bit nit picky about him saying "invasion of our privacy." You had nothing to do with it bro, don't try to put yourself in there.

it's not good. this is definitely a weird situation for them and i dont blame Del Rio here.

it's easier said then done but i would suggest owning up here.... hiding in situations like this makes things worse. Face the music, talk about how your privacy was invaded, paint yourself as victim here (and she is) and move on.

We can assume he's staying home to comfort his girlfriend, if that's the case that's pretty respectable considering how she's handling this whole thing.

Kind of confused why this is in the WWE section however, is it because of how much time he was there or because how it relates to Paige? If anything this should be in the Impact section since he's working there now.

Let's see how it pans out in weeks/months to come, he might be all about Paige on the surface, but I wouldn't be surprised if his wife doing that stuff all over the internet has got to hurt a bit, if he left her now he'd probably be attacked as being a huge ass hole.

I think its now gotten to the point where Paige is scared to even enter a wrestling venue again, out of fear she'll be made fun of/ridiculed.

I honestly don't think "pull out" jokes are really necessary at this time. It was funny the first few days, but Paige is in a distraught, depressed and suicidal type mindstate right now. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but I hope everything gets better for her, over time.

Paige should have known that before filming herself getting fucked in every way by two guys. If you play with fire chances are you're going to get burnt. I'm sorry: Paige was an adult at the time of the recordings and she was in the possesion of all her faculties. She must take responsability.

I don't give a fuck (no pun intended) about her being "distraught, depressed and suicidal". She had everything going for her, the world at her feet and, yet, she decided to destroy everything with stupid behavior. I can't feel sorry for people like that. I feel sorry for people who work hard and don't get what they deserve or are hindered by misfortunes, not for people who are handed the world and destroy everything with shallow behavior. So fuck off with your high horse!

And ADR should turn, err, the Paige on the incident.

Maybe op should fix the title of this thread.... Not exactly appropriate given what's happening. Lmao

It won't matter though. Paige is done. The wellness strikes and the semen on the belt is clear desecration and disrespect of the company. Leaked or not, it's out there and very bad publicity and disrespectful to the company. They are well within their rights to fire her for the multiple violations of company policy, this is just the final straw. Every company I know, HELL, even where I work, one failed drug test and you're done. Wwe is incredibly lenient. But this is inexcusable. Don't desecrate company property or their IP if you're fucking employed there. I mean she could have been pissing on it and someone inconspicuously took a video without her consent. Illegal? Yes... But it would still be out there in the public eye if someone posted it. Just because something shows up without your consent doesn't mean if what you're doing is against company standards that you won't be punished. She will get pulled from tv for the rest of her stay and then be future endeavored. Probably won't be before WM but certainly before SS.

Honestly, I think that almost no one is brave (or dick enough) to actually bring a Maddox/Xavier photo to Alberto to sign it, because he is a legit thought guy and would kick anyone ass with sort a disgusting taste of jokes. I think this is really almost just to help Paige, which I find very respectable from him.

Good for you and your relation, Alberto. Hope this mess get forgotten soon and anyone can move on on their lifes.

And for people comparing Paige to Xavier/Maddox, yeah, just remember that a lot of people has been saying how much those two guys are heroes meanwhile her is a "worthless whore". Don't be hipocrites.
