Alberto El Patron recently spoke with The Roman Show; you can read a few highlights and watch the full interview below:
Alberto comments on why he’s spoken about retirement, why he withdrew from AAA Triplemania:
“I love the pro wrestling business and the only reason I’ve been thinking about retirement is I don’t like the way they are doing things in the business.
We continue to see promoters taking advantage of the talent. Thank God I am in the position of saying ‘you can do this, but you can do it to the rest, but you won’t do this to me’. It happened with AAA or Triplemania. They took me somewhere to spoil me to see if I can do their biggest event of the year, and then they never sent the money. They never came—when they found me and asked me to do Triplemania I was supposed to be facing someone—they were never able to seal the deal with this other wrestler. They talked about two or three other names, and it was the same situation. Long story short, they didn’t fulfill their commitment with me, and I don’t work that way. I don’t need that stress in my life.”

Alberto talks about one final run with WWE, who he’d like to wrestle:
“Just off the top of my head, the first name that crossed my mind is Rey Mysterio Jr. He is one of my best friends, a fantastic athlete and a real life legend. He would be the perfect person to do a world tour [with] to say goodbye to the pro wrestling business. There’s a lot of names out there, a lot of amazing performers that I would love to wrestle again like Dolph Ziggler, Ken Anderson and many others in the business. I have always stayed the same because I have a good relationship with Vince McMahon, the owner of the biggest, most prestigious company in the world. I am pretty sure I’ll be back one day before I decide to retire. I will go back there to have a last final run. Maybe I’ll have the opportunity to work with all those wrestlers I used to work when I was working for that company. We used to have a lot of fun every single night.”
