Ric Flair issued a public apology for a popular WWE star for his recent remarks. The star in question is Ludwig Kaiser (aka El Grande Americano).

Ludwig Kaiser currently portrays the El Grande Americano luchador character and is very popular in the Mexican promotion, AAA. He has now received an apology from Ric Flair.

Speaking with Ariel Helwani recently, The Nature Boy revealed he was banned from WrestleMania because he threatened to beat up Ludwig Kaiser last year. The incident took place during the feud between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton when Ludwig was Tiffany’s boyfriend. Ric revealed how he was not happy with Ludwig making a terrible remark about his daughter, Charlotte Flair, and he questioned whether Kaiser is still on the roster:

I didn’t get invited to WrestleMania this year. I threatened to beat up Tiffany Stratton’s boyfriend last year and I wasn’t allowed to go. A 24-year-old kid, threatened, by a 76-year-old man, and I can’t go to WrestleMania. Are you kidding me? That English kid. He’s going to go as far in wrestling as a gnat. He’ll be a fly on the wall in a year,”

They had that thing where Tiffany made smart remarks about Ashley’s divorces, which we both know she’s not smart enough to have written, somebody gave her the script. He implied that he wouldn’t ‘bum one’ off Ashley. Okay, I need your number, and I got it, because I can get anyone’s number that I want any minute of any day. I called him and said, ‘When I see you, I’m going to beat the sh*t out of you.’ He went like a little b*tch, told Hunter, and I wasn’t allowed to go. He’s going to really go far in the business. A 76-year-old tells a 24-year-old kid that he’s going to kick his a** and where is he now? Is he even on the roster? Little punk,” Ric said. [h/t WrestlingNews.co]

Taking to the X social media platform, Ric Flair apologized to Ludwig Kaiser for his recent comments while praising his work in The Undertaker’s creative-led AAA:

“Mr. Ludwig Kaiser @wwe_kaiser – I Never Implied That You Couldn’t Work, Or Didn’t Have Talent. I Actually Understand That You Are Doing Really Well With The Undertaker’s Promotion. I Am Sorry That I Got Upset. I Am Naturally Very Protective Of My Daughters As I Am Sure As You Grow Older, You Will Be Too. Continued Success! I Apologize For Anything I Said About You Personally. It Was Not About Your Professional Skill Which I Have Heard Is Very Good.”
