[7.0] "I've recently started to like Ludwig Kaiser, he's really good in the ring and somehow on the mic. I'm happy he's getting a push, but I'm mad it's not as himself, but it's at that stupid Americano gimmick. Also, I hate to say this, but he looks like he's having a blast as it. Hell, I'll even say he's doing this 10x better than Chad Gable"
[8.0] "He should be used better. I don't like the El grande Americano work since I've seen him used better with Imperium. I would love if the Americanos aligned with Gunther and they all just reverted to their original gimmicks."

[9.0] "Amazing talent. Very underrated on the mic as well and something that I feel will help push him to the main event later. I am very intrigued by the Grande Americano gimmick and how far him and Gable can take it."
Ultraptor wrote on 30.09.2025:
[10.0] "His style and talent is phenomenal, and his current work as El Grande Americano gets me every time. He's flashy, mysterious, funny, and exceptionally skilled in the ring. He definitely deserves a major push."
Luke Cypher wrote on 19.09.2025:
[9.0] "Push this man to the moon. Unique, A+ character work reminiscent of a Bond villain. Kaisers snobbish affect hides a vicious streak, solid technical ability, and excellent selling. I think hes a future WHC. Update: OK, seriously push this man to the moon. What started as a joke in El Grande Americano has led to Kaiser getting insanely over in AAA. It was a complete 180 for Kaiser character-wise, but he's really sunk his teeth into it and made the role his own. Can't wait for the Gable-Kaiser battle for the mask, it's gonna be an absolute banger."
RB wrote on 20.07.2025:
[9.0] "Ludwig Kaiser has truly stepped into his own as one of WWE's most refined and captivating performers. With every match, he brings a unique blend of technical precision, European style, and theatrical charisma that sets him apart from the rest of the roster. Whether he's delivering punishing strikes or exuding elegance on the mic, LK carries himself like a star who knows exactly who he is. It's a shame WWE has him running with this ridiculous gimmick of El Grande Americano. It's such a waste of his ability."
Oliwylde wrote on 09.07.2025:
[9.0] "I love Kaiser he is such a character and he gives it his all with everything that is given to him and is killing it I hope he finally gets his much deserved singles tittle run."

[8.0] "I love the dude. He's a perfect Foreign heel who can work excellently in the Midcard and even occasionally, In the Main Event if given the chance. The thing with Kaiser is that he's the perfect heel and he understands his character so well. From his promos, to his facials and even the way he walks, all of that contribute to his arrogant heel character. Kaiser can cut great promos, has mastered Ring Psychology and has had some great matches in the last year. Really love the dude"
Lucha Robin wrote on 23.06.2025:
[9.0] "As part of Imperium, he's the hype man for Gunther, but make no mistake--Ludvig's no second fiddle. His in-ring skills are smoother than his impeccably gelled hair, and his charisma? Let's just say he could probably sell an ice cream cone to a polar bear. His pre-match promos are delivered with such sophistication you half-expect him to end with "and now, for the main event, me.""
Rassle Fan wrote on 24.04.2025:
[6.0] "He's good in the ring but his hair looks ridiculous. I'm assuming since he's a heel that's the point but it's hard to tell. He's not a good promo but gets way too much credit for his Imperium introduction. Don't get wrong, it's good, but that doesn't make someone great a talking."
MEDamine wrote on 21.02.2025:
[8.0] "Ludwig Kaiser is another one who should be a breakout star of 2025, such a talented wrestler with a naturally great charisma, I hope he wins something big this year"
AceHagann wrote on 28.11.2024:
[7.0] "A great character work and presence. Despite just starting to shine by himself, it is clear that he is talented. Great in-ring worker. It feels like he still has more potential to grow as a wrestler overall."
darkflame4527 wrote on 12.11.2024:
[8.0] "Kaiser's increasingly prominent role in major storylines over on Raw has really shown me how much of a great talent he is. However, I do feel like right now he's an easy stepping stone to cross over for the main event in Gunther. But his recent role in this Damian Priest feud might lead to seeds planting with an Imperium split? He's also a great in-ring talent that is one of those sneaker workers that rarely has a bad match."

[10.0] "Ludwig is such a great heel. His nuanced movements and facial expressions are incredible. He is great on the mic and a solid worker in the ring. I can see him becoming a major heel in the future. Once he gets a proper singles run, he will shoot up the card."
NPC wrote on 20.09.2024:
[8.0] "A true classic wrestling villain that requires no flashy gimmick. Just a evil human being who's classy and would kick your ass in the ring. When he becomes a single star, i think he would be a major player in the game. Not in the levl of Gunther because he's on a different caliber, but one of the best in the modern era of professional wrestling."
Odinohka wrote on 18.08.2024:
[7.0] "I think it's possible to take Ludwig quite far, evolving his character while retaining the originality he possesses. His in-ring is really good, he's got a distinctive and solid physique and he can be capable of some really entertaining matches. What's more, he's adaptable because he's an excellent heel manager, a good tag team partner and I'm sure that with a little time and the right coaching he could climb the card. I look forward to seeing more of him."
RealGrapsThomsen wrote on 18.08.2024:
[8.0] "Up until recently, I never saw Kaiser as more of a tag team guy or a lackey, but I have really enjoyed his European Ellegence character, and hes really solid in ring as well. Mix this with being a pretty good mic worker, Kaiser is bound for success in the near future."

[4.0] "The gay little German doesn't do anything for me. If it looks like a 10-year-old could legitimately kick the crap out of you there's a problem. His Enzuigiri is extremely clean but that's all he's got. Can't cut a good promo, was average at best in tag team matches, and in singles competition is quite easily just as bad if not worse."
Danylopez016 wrote on 26.06.2024:
[9.0] "FINALLY he's getting time to shine as a singles guy. This dude has the look, the wrestling, and the charisma to be a top star. His recent push is well deserved."
KingWoodReview wrote on 02.06.2024:
[7.0] "I really love Kaiser and I think he is very very underrated most likely due to the fact that he has spent most of his career in Gunthers shadow. He is good in ring but on the microphone is where he shines and when he introduces the ring general you know he means business."
CommisarRobe wrote on 07.05.2024:
[7.0] "A very underrated guy, Kaiser has had some great matches on RAW and Smackdown! His work is good and he plays the snivelling foreign heel very well."
EWS 134 wrote on 16.04.2024:
[9.0] "This man has the potential to be a top star, no doubt about it. He has the look, the mic skills, the personality, the in ring work, everything. Why WWE are so reluctant to push him is beyond me, hopefully now that Gunther will be doing something other than holding a title, they can use Imperium and especially Ludwig to their full potential."
Sampro wrote on 28.02.2024:
[9.0] "Let's be serious, if we take LK seriously, he's clearly Imperium's flagship attraction. I can't wait for him to go solo, because he's got the aura to captivate an audience and his body language is perfect."
doubledown wrote on 08.09.2023:
[8.0] "Super underrated and is a bit wasted currently as the designated guy to take L's for Gunther. Would do a lot of good for both Imperium's identity and for the tag team scene right now if he and Vinci were thrown into the mix as tag team title contenders, otherwise I worry about these two being left behind."
Loghan Moresco wrote on 06.07.2023:
[10.0] "Perfect to cut a promo, perfect in the ring the guy just overshine whatever role you throw at him, a perfect professional wrestler at every aspect of the word, and his role just fits him so well."

[8.0] "Like Kaiser. He plays Gunther's lackey well and his mannerism, in ring abilities and attitude are all great. He is very good on the mic and good in the ring."
jamzell00 wrote on 07.06.2023:
[10.0] "This is forever one of my guys in wrestling. He will never EVER be a bigger star than WALTER but from all the facial expressions to how clean his work is in the ring he remains my favorite of the imperium/RINGKAMPF boys. Holding out hope they let him shine a little bit more because he's so much better than he's been able to show right now"
Frank Shooter wrote on 29.05.2023:
[7.0] "A great technical wrestler who has not been able to show everything he is able to do. He needs to be more than Gunther's lackey, without breaking Imperium, one of the best stables today. I love his character with class, haughty, and showing a certain contempt for his rivals without losing his manners."
Die hard fan wrote on 03.12.2022:
[8.0] "The workhorse of imperium, he can have a good match with a good performance all day, he can talk and play the foreign heel very well, I want to see him get more solo chances to display his talent."

[6.0] "Just sort of alright. Can have solid matches but is a little bit boring and lacks personality for me."
JBoogieRom28 wrote on 22.10.2020:
[6.0] "He's pretty good in the ring and is a good character worker but there is just something about him I don't like. I don't hate him and I don't love him. His tag team matches are good and has good chemistry with Fabian Aichner but I haven't really heard his mic work so I can't judge him on that. Overall he is a better than average superstar and Imperium is working for him and he has a good future in WWE."
BlakeFR37 wrote on 05.10.2020:
[10.0] "ADJ is my favorite from wXw and in NXT with Imperium (except Balor) and how good he is... He's great and deserves the maximum ranking."
KyleEnjoysWrestling wrote on 07.08.2019:
[7.0] "Very solid in the ring & has a good look. That said, under the NXTUK banner, he has a lot of similarities to WALTER, so I'm glad they formed the tag team & faction to make him not feel like a mini WALTER. If he wants to make it as a single, he needs to find something to help define who he is. But for now, the tag team/faction is working."
