00:00 Intro
Great, he's from South Tyrol
01:15 Stepping away from wrestling after his release
04:10 Was his WWE release surprising?
Giovanni Vinci looks like a buffer Cesaro
05:15 How he feels about wrestling now
08:10 Becoming a professional skier
He just didnāt fit for me in Imperium and I donāt know if heās a good talker in the mic but he just wasnāt connecting. Iām not putting all the blame on him we know how WWE will give you 2 minutes and expect you to get over completely with just that amount of time. I hope all wrestlers end up good in life and I donāt like doing the negative thing. Iām just being honest that I didnāt connect with him like I did with Ludwig and Gunther.
09:05 His introduction to wrestling
10:29 Getting released by WWE
I was very interested to where they were going with his vignettes and to see him lose so fast to Apollo I was mad then he got releasedā¦ I was thinking Wtf is WWE doing???? Very confusing and unfair
11:59 Original plan for his repackaging in WWE
15:59 What he's been doing since his release
Minute mark where he speaks about Apollo squashing him????
18:33 Being part of the WWE Cruiserweight Classic
24:19 Moving to the United States
And now he's in TNA!
27:21 Forming Imperium in NXT & not getting called up with them
33:53 Changing his name to Giovanni Vinci
36:20 Getting kicked out of Imperium
38:08 Ludwig Kaiser & Gunther's work right now
Tna now Iām here lol
41:12 Match he's proudest of in WWE
43:00 Wrestling John Cena in India
45:53 Working with Kurt Angle
47:25 Meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger
I really wanted Imperium to last longer. Like New Catch Republic they were perfect to bring serious wrestling again instead of silly or overly exhausting gimmick or banter and it could have strengthened the roster to have more people to use but unfortunately WWE chooses to fumble and overuse the same people nonstop.
51:37 His accent is more German than Italian
54:49 Fun moments with Kevin Owens
His Debut loss was confusing. I really thought there would be a push. During this interview i thought of him returning at Clash in Italy!š„š„š„I'm calling it!!!
55:52 Proudest thing about his WWE run
56:42 Plans for his character once he returns to wrestling
No questioning him on wether or not his release or kick from imperium was for maybe hitting on ludwig kaiser girl at the time?
58:20 Staying hungry while in WWE
59:07 Ready for a return to wrestling
Hometown Hero šŖā¤
01:00:57 Love for Formula 1 Racing
01:04:16 3 things he's grateful for
Far be it for me to be critical of a CVV interview but I'm 16 minutes in and it feels like it's been nothing about wrestling.
It's like:
- Life before WWE
- "And then you go signed"
- "Then you got released. Now what?"

There's REAL BEEF in that break up.š¤
@rayzaramon6598wasn't too familiar with him. enjoyed this entire interview.
@gigi1625he didnt came back at all... he hasnt wrestled since wwe booted him and i doubt AEW want him maybe for ROH
@ThepokedekWWE missed opportunity with him
@batmansavage9121i really like Fabian Aichner i was so disappointed when i found out he was released
@JJ--jj--onethat match was crazy
@RawBodycamtuyDai Fabian fatti vedere un po'
@gneeeeeeHe looks great and seems to be in a good space. Thatās great to see because that WWE exit was confusingā¦. I hope he finds someplace to showcase his talent!
@AM_WWE_FAN_FOREVERImagine buying CVV merch
@HuskyGohanFabian is such a damn good speaker.
@MrXabungleDoes he still have a good relationship with Marcel?
@raoufswedekFabian Aichner is that classic charming type of guy ā always wearing those tight shirts that fit just right, probably using something like Dior Sauvage, and you just know every girl melts when he smiles. And honestly, if you grabbed him by that huge neck of his, your hand would probably still smell like his perfume after š
@Mario123-i2zdamn he's hot. fine
@FlameMirageI have to know, does CVV have a Letterboxd I can follow šš
@Son_YakubImperium was never the same when they dropped him.
@TheMemeMachineMattSeems like such a cool dude, I really hope WWE or AEW sign him up.
@chrisellul1207Him & Cameron Grimes were both screwed over.
@Jussie44who cares about this rando
@kendirkkare we gonna get el grande italiano?
@CBiskuttJimmy Wang Yang Episode when?
@DakotaBroskieMost of us in Italy started watching WWE in 2003/04
@HighestTrailsAboveI hope they bring him back to WWE
@stephenhaddock7233I wanna know the details around what happened between him Ludwig and Tiffany, and if there is any truth to the rumors of him being in appropriate, because that is what led to his release, only for Kaiser and Tiffany to break up not much later after the Mania match with Charlotte. Not to dog him or anything, but clarity around that could clear him cause right now it looks like he was fired for being a creep.
@Yunglex313As an Italian American Wrestling Fan I will always be a fan of Giovanni, even if he is German! LoL great interview
@mikegagliardi791639:21 the General in Wolfenstein. š
@legendofcheezCome back goat
@LOGHAN_MORESCOWwe made a mistake releasing him
@WillieThomas-t2uThank you @chrisvanvliet you gave us a nice interview with Fabian. I really appreciate it. Second best to me after Steve Blackman.
@giovannirotino-p1t6kI always thought he was Swiss-Italian... and now it makes sense to me with the accent xD
