Ludwig Kaiser (El Grande Americano) Battery Arrest in Florida Update – 8/27 Court Hearing Canceled

As noted before, WWE and AAA talent Ludwig Kaiser, also known as El Grande Americano and real name Marcel Barthel, was arrested on charges of battery this past May following an altercation with a man in Orange County, Florida. This incident was caused after Kaiser and a female were allegedly acting “uncontrollably intimate” in an elevator and Kaiser attacked the man in retaliation after being allegedly told to “please have some manners.” Kaiser’s attorneys filed a motion this past July requesting for the case to be dismissed and provided Kaiser’s side of the story regarding the incident.

The Wrestling Observer’s Joseph Currier reported that a pre-trial hearing for Kaiser’s misdemeanor battery case that had been scheduled to take place this morning in Orlando, Florida was cancelled.

Currier reported that no reason for the cancellation was listed in the court records.

Currier also reported that the case is still categorized as being “open” and the scheduled October 19 hearing date for Kaiser’s motion to dismiss it is still on the docket.
