William Regal once demanded that WWE sign Ludwig Kaiser without a tryout

Ludwig Kaiser has proven himself to be one of the most impressive stars on the WWE roster. He has been impressive with his in-ring skills. Even in his current role as El Grande Americano, Kaiser has performed spectacularly.

During an interview with Kennt Jeder, Ludwig Kaiser revealed how he got the chance to sign with WWE. He said that the Stamford-based promotion was originally planned to tour Germany so that the company could look at talent in the country. However, Regal cancelled the tour and demanded that WWE sign Ludwig Kaiser without a tryout.

"Actually, a tour through Germany was originally planned and they wanted to look at talent everywhere in Germany and then Mr. William Regal said, we'll take this guy, cancel the tour, we don't need anyone else. It's either him or no one at all. And then they called me and said, listen, you don't need to do a tryout. Which is a huge, a huge exception. I don't know of anyone else where that was the case. Everyone did a tryout at some point. All of them several, actually. Several tryouts and so on and so forth, but yes, I then had the great privilege of getting involved." Kaiser said. [10:06-10:38]

It will be interesting to see if William Regal will take on an onscreen role in WWE again.
