An update on Bandido’s whereabouts.
At Game Changer Wrestling’s ‘Devil In A New Dress’ event in San Francisco, California, former ROH World Champion Bandido was scheduled to go one-on-one with Nick Wayne.
Prior to the show, GCW promoter Brett Lauderdale tweeted out that Bandido missed his flight and was not answering his phone. Lauderdale later tweeted out that it cost $900 for Bandido’s flight, but he deleted that tweeted and noted that he understands that it came off as insensitive.
Bandido sent out an apology to those who were expecting to see him in action. He wrote the following:
Hello to all @GCWrestling_ fans, I just wanna say sorry for not be there tonight in San Francisco! Thank you for all the people to take care about me, Im fine! It was my fault and I hope make up those things as soon as possible see you soon amigos!!

I have heard from several others since deleting my original tweet that have confirmed he is "ok". Hopefully that remains the case.
Regardless, I should have waited to hear from him directly before voicing my frustration.
Lesson learned.

In addition to Bandido’s absence, Gringo Loco and Biff Busick did not appear as advertised. Busick was going to take on Masha Slamovich while Gringo Loco was set to take on Jimmy Lloyd. Instead, Lloyd took on Slamovich.
