Alleged Victim In Ludwig Kaiser Battery Case Claims He Suffered Torn Rotator Cuff & Concussion
An update on the Ludwig Kaiser case.
There is a new legal filing regarding the battery case against WWE wrestler Marcel Barthel, a.k.a. Ludwig Kaiser/El Grande Americano.
The alleged victim of the incident in April 2026, Richard Reap, claims that he suffered a torn rotator cuff and a concussion. That information came about as Kaiser and his defense team attempted to gain access to Reap’s medical records.
Kaiser’s defense feels that having access to the records is vital to their case prep. Below is from the filing:
“The requested subpoena would direct Mr. Reap to produce his medical records relating to the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of the injuries he allegedly sustained in the incident underlying this prosecution.
The requested records include relevant emergency department records, physician and nursing notes, diagnostic reports, imaging reports, consultation records, discharge instructions, referrals, and billing records from April 23, 2026, through November 12, 2026.
The subpoena would be limited to records concerning the alleged torn rotator cuff, concussion, head injury, shoulder injury, or other injury that Mr. Reap attributes to the charged incident.”
