Jim Cornette recently weighed in on the Ludwig Kaiser arrest story, defending the WWE star and roasting his accuser in typical Cornette fashion.
The veteran wrestling personality addressed the situation during a recent episode of the Jim Cornette Experience podcast.
Kaiser, who has no prior criminal record, was allegedly involved in an incident at his apartment building. According to reports, the situation stemmed from an elevator encounter that escalated into a physical confrontation.
Cornette Questions The Accuser’s Motives
Cornette didn’t hold back in his assessment of the situation.
“There’s more to this story because I’ve seen guys through the years make issues in f****** hotels. And then also, I’ve seen people make issues with guys at hotels where there weren’t any or shouldn’t have been any,” he said on his podcast.
The WWE veteran then highlighted Kaiser’s clean record and current career trajectory.
“This is a guy who is in his mid-30s, and apparently, now we know for sure, because they’ve run him. He has no criminal record anywhere. And like you said, in the best run of his life, and is not going out and looking for trouble, and nobody’s ever had anything to say that he’s a problem of any kind.”
Cornette specifically addressed the nature of the elevator incident.
“The f****** guy in the elevator. Whether he was bothered by them kissing, It wasn’t a blowj**. Was anybody naked? What is his problem anyway? But I guarantee you that the verbiage, and this will come out probably, hopefully, when they adjudicate this thing. If they don’t just outright dismiss it, I guarantee you the verbiage was not ‘please.’”
Defense Of Kaiser’s Actions
Cornette suggested the accuser provoked the situation.
“That’s probably not the first word. And it certainly wasn’t all the words, because this is a guy that probably f****** bowed up and f****** said some s*** he shouldn’t have said. To start something with Kaiser for Kaiser to leave what he was doing, which was obviously more fun.”
He also noted the location and timing of the incident.
“It’s 6:30 in the evening, and it is his own elevator in his own apartment building. Not like in the godd*** elevator of the airport in Philly at f****** 2 a.m.”
Cornette concluded by questioning the severity of the alleged assault.
“So suddenly, for no reason, this guy flips out and starts punching people? No, I think Reaper had a f****** mouth on him, and he ran it in some fashion. And again, if Kaiser was going to hurt him seriously, I haven’t seen a picture of this guy, but I would have a hard time believing that if Kaiser wanted to hurt him, the only thing he’d have is a scratch on his neck.”
Kaiser is scheduled for a Mask vs. Mask match against Original El Grande Americano at a Lucha Libre AAA event called “Noches de Los Grandes” on May 31.
