Booker T: Giovanni Vinci Has A Great Look, I Think He Got Lost In The Shuffle When He Was Part Of Imperium

Booker T believes in the future of Giovanni Vinci.

During an episode of the Hall of Fame podcast,  the legendary Booker T. spoke about the recent repackage of Giovanni Vinci who was drafted to WWE Friday Night SmackDown earlier this year.

“Yeah, I’ve been watching the new Giovanni Vinci. I thought this guy had a great look. His work is not bad either. I really think coming in with Imperium, put him in that group thing and kind of maybe lost him in the shuffle a little bit. Any time you’re playing a second to Gunther, you’re gonna be playing second. So trying to repackage him and trying to get him back out there again, I see that, and I understand because he is a guy that you do want to get in the mix, and I just don’t think it was a good thing, him actually being part of Imperium when he first came in. It’s just like Ludwig [Kaiser], same thing with him. He’s trying to figure out how to not be Gunther’s second. He’s really good, he’s got a good character. But he’s got to figure out who he is as opposed to just Gunther’s second.”

Vinci re-debuted on the main roster where he lost back-to-back matches to Apollo Crews before attacking him following the second loss on Friday Night SmackDown a few weeks ago.
