Fabian Aichner

[8.0] "I believe that WWE hasn't given Fabian Aichner the chance to shine on his own.After he was brutally expelled from Imperium and they gave him that new gimmick I believe that he hasn't receveid the chance to make that gimmick work, they've just humiliated him with that fast loss against Apollo Crews and that was it. I hope that he can shine in other promotions because he deserves it and also because as an Italian wrestling fan it would be enjoyable to see a tre italian wrestler doing well after almost 60 years."

[8.0] "Giovanni Vinci was always super solid in the ring--strong, smooth, and athletic for his size. His power moves looked crisp, and he had great chemistry with Imperium. He never really got the spotlight he deserved on his own, but he made the most of what WWE gave him. Felt like he could've thrived in NXT Europe or even as a midcard threat on Raw/SmackDown with the right push. Underrated technician and a reliable performer."

"His situation is sad, Vinci had potential, and what do you do with potential? You make them lose in 4 seconds, then completely bury them in their next match, and make them never appear on TV again. Now he's fired. If WWE was going to send him to SmackDown just for him to look like a fool, why couldn't you just keep him in Imperium? I wish the best for him and hope that he finds a better place to wrestle if that is what he wants."

[9.0] "He is very talented, he is a great in-ring wrestler and I am convinced that if WWE had focused a little more on him he could have become a good mid-carder and maybe even win a secondary title."

[7.0] "Rating him one day after he lost against Apollo for a second time is funny but Vinci is the word "underrated". His gimmick in NXT was amazing and he showed good charisma and mic work. I don't know if he could be higher than the midcard, but he should work with Andrade and Carmelo, not Apollo Crews."

[8.0] "Vinci is insanely underrated and talented, he can go in the ring and look so smooth as well as being able to make a character work if given the proper materials. I didnt like how he was only a fall guy in Imperium but now that hes alone, I just know he will do great."

[8.0] "Solid, inspiring in ring work, capable of smooth high flying offense, good chain wrestling and hard hitting power moves. Unfortunately, he's also the "takes-the-pin" guy in one of wrestling's hottest factions, so it's difficult to say what he's like with mic-work. I have no idea what his future is but he's a delight to watch, even if he's kind of a nothing character at the moment."

[7.0] "Aichner/Vinci is a good technical wrestler in the ring. Good in the cruiserweight classic and has been very good in Imperium. In the ring he has a good mix of power and athleticism. English not being his first language hurts him a little bit."

[7.0] "Incredible physique, a classy look, incredible ability in the ring, both in power and agility and, although he isn't able to show it with the Imperium gimmick, he possess good charisma (his NXT run after Gunther and Kaiser got called up shows it well). He needs to be treated better along with Ludwig Kaiser, and they would have a great Tag Team candidate for the titles in them, and a solid midcarder if he goes back solo."

[8.0] "Shame that triple H had to pull him from nxt to reform imperium which is cool but aichner/Vinci has a great potential to be a good solo star but imperium is okay though."

[6.0] "Fabian Aichner is a great in-ring competitor and, along with WALTER & Marcel Barthel as part of Imperium, he had a great aura and intensity. They were no nonsense, ring general, ass kickers who cut intense promos and delivered in the ring. Unfortunately, WALTER & Barthel were sent away from NXT, while Aichner disappeared from TV for a while before returning with a silly new name and a ridiculous, goofball gimmick. His aura and intensity is gone as he is now a goofy, grinning, posing 'model' character with a horrific entrance. He's also now cutting promos in English and they're not good."

[8.0] "I've always had a soft stop for Aichner. I always viewed him as the best of Imperium in-ring wise because of his incredible balance of a power game and high-flying ability. This man is a pure athlete and I think with his new character he's a lot more developed and ready to break out as a star, whereas if he was sent to the main roster I think he would've been forgotten about rather quickly. Here's to hoping Vinci really does become a star in 2022 for NXT 2.0."

[7.0] "Very promising. Great in the ring as shown by his time in Imperium, has great athleticism and strength, just lacks personality and while in great shape he has a very generic look and appears shorter than 6'0. What he always lacked is character which is why he has been overshadowed in groups like Imperium, his new gimmick as Giovanni Vinci could be make or break for him."

[6.0] "Just sort of alright. Can have solid matches but is a little bit boring and lacks personality for me."

[8.0] "Another real italian wrestler. The former Adrian Severe was incredibly gifted and his run as NXT tag champ is good."

[7.0] "Really impressive in the ring. Looked great in the cruiserweight classic & looks even better since he was able to bulk back up after no longer going for the 205 weight limit. Started to get a little lost in the shuffle before finding a team with Bathel & a group with Imperium. I'm not sure he'll ever be a big name as a solo act, but he's a good hand."

[9.0] "Although he is not quite polished, Fabian Aichner is a tremendous strongman that is also a high flyer."

[8.0] "One of the most exciting prospects WWE has singed in years, it's a bit sad to see that they don't even know what to do with him on NXT but I remain hopeful that he can break through there and become a main event draw at least in NXT."

[9.0] "Fabien Archer/ Adrian Severe is unnatural, a super heavyweight who can sell, perform power moves, do high flying moves plenty of cruiserweight would have trouble pulling off and has a good look. I would love to see him get more chances."
