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 alleged victim Richard Reap filed a notice of appearance earlier this month listing a new attorney for his lawsuit and potentially teasing a civil lawsuit against Kaiser in the future.
The Wrestling Observer’s Joseph Currier reported that a court hearing was held earlier today that resulted in the judge rejecting Kaiser’s motion to dismiss the case against him based on recent court records.
Currier reported that a pre-trial conference is currently scheduled to take place on December 17. This upcoming conference will determine if a resolution between the two sides can be reached or decide if the case will be going to trial.
