Per PWInsider:
quote:
Last night, Keith McMahon, the attorney for Alberto el Patron and Paige, took to Twitter to post pictures of what was stated to be a case report related to the 7/9 Orlando, Florida airport incident involving each of his clients.
In the report, which listed Jose Rodriguez (Patron) as the victim, it was noted that there were no drugs or alcohol involved in the incident.
Interesting to note that McMahon, in the same posting, attacked the media for "false reports" from "untrained reporters" not doing their due dilligence. It should be noted that PWInsider.com first broke the story on 7/11 and that all of our reporting since then was backed by official statements and quotes from representatives of the Orlando and San Antonio Police Departments. Obviously, we stand by our reporting.
McMahon also stated that there was no "physical harm" and "no arrests" and categorized the situation as "an argument between a couple that others exploited."

McMahon!? IT'S A WORK BROTHER
A lawyer representing both not is a MASSIVE conflict of interest.

Excited for Bully Ray to brand the police reports as fake news.

ALBERTO & PAIGE DON'T GET TO BLAME THE INTERNET
By Mike Johnson on 2017-08-04 10:55:00
Yesterday during a radio appearance on Busted Open, GFW champion Alberto el Patron and WWE star Paige appeared united in showing the world they were the real life Maria and Mike Kanellis, professing the power of love and showcasing that all is OK with the couple. That may be the case, today, but the idea that they were blaming the "Internet" for their issues at the Orlando Airport on 7/9 and the subsequent fallout that came with it, is absolute garbage.
It's easy to dismiss things as being the fault of the Internet, as if its this malevolent entity that is out to hurt someone, but the reality is that if someone - public persona or not - doesn't make the mistake of putting themselves into a situation where people can publicly comment on their actions, then they don't have a reason to react to that criticism.
Over the past year, Alberto and Paige....
....have been suspended by WWE (and in the case of Paige, twice, with WWE telling the New York Post the second suspension was for an illegal substance).
... became embroiled in an incident that led to Paige running through traffic in Las Vegas before police grabbed her and took her for a medical evaluation.
....were involved in a stabbing incident in San Antonio where Alberto was attacked by a homeless man...not wait, was involved in an auto incident...no wait, was defending Paige....all three versions of which were never truly explained and hey, despite being stabbed by some ruffian in public, there was no police report that anyone in the San Antonio Police Department could find.
.....were involved in the airport incident that led to Alberto's GFW suspension, which he claims is cleared up - although GFW has yet to confirm to PWInsider (which has reached out to the company for comment) that the suspension has actually been lifted.
Mind you, these are just the instances that we know about and the ones that have been documented. Could there be others? Possibly? Were there? We don't know (yet), but above is a pattern of behavior that doesn't just happen to most loving, adoring couples, even the ones under the ever-watching spotlight of public life.
Even if one of the incidents - as opposed to multiple ones - took place, the idea that the "Internet" is to blame for the attention put on the Orlando Airport incident is laughable for a number of reasons.
All of PWInsider.com's reporting came from official statements from the Orlando Police Department, so unless that Department also counts as "The Internet" and were making things up, we stand by our reporting of the incident from the moment I first learned from a reader that they saw Patron being escorted through an airport by police.
Let's also not forget that the Orlando Police, not the Internet, informed media outlets that they felt they had enough evidence to charge Paige with domestic battery violence. It's not the Internet that made that decision, but the local police and now it's up to the local prosecutor to make the distinction as to whether it is worth pursuing the charges. That is on Paige and Patron, not the media and not the Internet.
This isn't fake news. It was hard news, with a story that was rooted in official police statements.
Paige and Alberto dismissing the situation as something the Internet made it a bigger story than it needed to be is nonsense. If anyone, celebrity or not, got into an altercation in an airport, where federal law is in place, it's a story. This was not a witch hunt over two pro wrestlers acting terrible to each other and hey, Internet, let's pile on! It was a case of two adults acting out in a way that led to a police investigation and potentially, one of them still being charged with domestic violence battery. That doesn't change because they are cooing on a radio show over each other a month later. Love doesn't retcon what happened.
The "Internet" was not playing Puppetmaster that day. It did not make Patron say whatever he said to Paige that led to her throwing a glass at Patron. It didn't cause her to dump a glass of water on Patron. It didn't make Patron chase her out of a restaurant and through the airport, something that was at least partially recorded and later ended up on TMZ (something the loving pair didn't acknowledge in their interview yesterday), nor did it make Paige scream out that Patron was ruining her life and that she wanted to get away from him.
It's unfortunate for the couple that this played out in front of someone who knew who they were and hit record, but that doesn't take the responsibility, at its root, from Patron and Paige. They were and are responsible, and while they did apologize (well, Paige did), that doesn't mean that they now get to point the finger of blame elsewhere.
The "Internet" didn't make the events in Orlando transpire, Alberto and Paige did. While the couple can say now that sometimes they fight like all couples do and say things for 20 minutes that they don't mean before making up, that's not the Internet's fault that it happened and it's not the Internet's fault they didn't have the wherewithal to keep themselves from acting that way in public. Blaming others for the fact they put themselves into this predicament to happen shows, in my opinion, a lack of awareness about the entire situation and that quite frankly, is concerning itself.
We've seen lots of instances where those in pro wrestling have blamed the media and the Internet for taking interest in their decisions to do stupid or illegal things. It's human nature to want to be voyeuristic towards others doing stupid things. When something illegal happens, however - an incident or an arrest - that's not on public record and well, public records are public for a reason, because they fall into fair game when it comes to the media writing about them.
It's easy to blame the Internet and the media when someone finds themselves under scrutiny, but it's also a crutch, an excuse, a veil to hide that they themselves are to blame for any hot water they have gotten themselves into.
If Patron and Paige are looking forward to going back to work at WWE and GFW - and I hope they come back and have awesome wrestling matches because I would much rather be spending my time writing about that - they both need to realize that the blame falls on their own shoulders - for getting themselves into these situations over and over without addressing whatever the root cause of those issues are.
Perhaps they are, privately. I hope they are, but yesterday's appearance seemed to be more about using a Jedi mind trick to say "There's nothing to see here. Move along. Move along." Whether they were trying to pull an Obi-Wan Kenobi or not, only they know.
Still, one doesn't get to run through an airport screaming at each other after a physical altercation to the point police are called (at, according to the record, Alberto's request) and then turn around and blame the Internet for the entire mess - not if they want those concerned and worried about them to truly believe these issues have been resolved and are in the past.
Time will tell if there is ever another Paige/Patron incident, but if there is, we know who they will blame.
They will be wrong when they do.

Has there been no recent meltdowns/incarcerations/developments from these two?
They are focusing on helping on the ground at Houston to be honest.

why don't you just quote the information rather than embedding your own tweets, man?
You are still free to do it.
