Ric Flair was banned from WrestleMania 42 after threatening Ludwig Kaiser

As every year, WrestleMania welcomed a good number of legends, many of whom were also present at the traditional WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. However, one of the biggest figures in the history of the business was absent from the grand event. We are referring to Ric Flair, who explained the reason why he was not invited in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani.

"I wasn't invited to WrestleMania this year. I threatened to beat up (Tiffany Stratton's boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser) last year and they didn't let me go. A 24-year-old guy, threatened by a 76-year-old man, and I can't go to WrestleMania. Are you kidding me? That English guy. He's going to go as far in wrestling as a mosquito. In a year, he'll be like a fly on the wall," he said.

It should be noted that Kaiser is 35 years old and not English, but German. The wrestler was mentioned by Charlotte Flair during a promo segment with Tiffany Stratton before their title match at WrestleMania 41. Off-script, Stratton mentioned the different divorces that Charlotte had accumulated after her recent breakup with Andrade "El Ídolo," which led "The Queen" to suggest that Kaiser was messaging her privately.

"They had that moment where Tiffany made witty comments about Ashley's divorces, which we both know she's not smart enough to have written, someone gave her the script. He (Kaiser) hinted that he wouldn't 'pull one' on Ashley. Okay, I needed his number and I got it, because I can get anyone's number at any time. I called him and said, 'When I see you, I'm going to beat you up.' He acted like a coward, went to tell Hunter (Triple H) and they didn't let me go. He's going to go far in the business. A 76-year-old man tells a 24-year-old he's going to kick his ass, and where is he now? Is he even still on the roster? What an idiot," he said.

Ludwig Kaiser is currently one of the most beloved talents in Lucha Libre AAA. His character El Grande Americano has exploded in popularity among Mexican fans thanks in large part to the wrestler's work, who has adapted perfectly to the country's culture, including giving promos in Spanish despite it not being his native language.
