Carlito Update

[noumenon]

-- Carlito is presently off television because creative has nothing for him at the moment. He has not appeared on television since the September 14th episode of Monday Night Raw. The impression people have on him is that he doesn't really care anymore, which has been the story of his career. Creative is more interested in spending time with people who are willing to contribute ideas. (Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter)

Sooooooo... ECW? US Title? IC Title? That whole tag thing he had going with his brother? Perhaps a gimmick change and an attempted push?

Move him to ECW enough said

Or just keep paying him for doing nothing. It's obvious Carlito and WWE do NOT click. He wants out, and right now is probably just enjoying the fact that he's getting a fat paycheck for doing nothing. Ala Stevie Richards.

Once his inevitable release comes, he's TNA bound.

I do know, I do think he's talented and should be getting pushed, but c'mon, if isnt even trying to create scenarios for him, then why should we care?

 

[JurassicBonez]

I like Carlito. Been a fan of his for sometime. But to say they have nothing for him is dumb. He's the top person on my list of guys that should be moved to ECW. Been that way for sometime now.

 

[noumenon]

I'm shocked they never tried a gimmick change for him.

Carlito vs Mike Knox in a hair vs hair match.

 

[Kizza]

I am shocked he hasn't been given a typical Mexican/Puerto Rican gimmick.

Like a drug dealer.

^^^5 years ago, maybe, it would have been a done deal, but like the often mentioned Kofi/Yardie gimmick it's so 'not down wit' da PG shit'.

To be honest, I know it's all been said about Carlito before, but seriously, what about the other talented guys just gathering dust in Vince's toy box never being used? ...Are we to believe ALL the guys going to waste have no ideas or suggestions regarding the advancement of their own careers?

So which is it.... The current generation of wrestlers have no passion for the business or that as evidenced by the majority of Raw AND SD this year, the current "creative" team is anything but....? :roll:

 

[Beer Money Army]

Put Carlito on ECW, get to make superstars, Just like Goldust is doing.

if he doesn't care, then don't push him tbh.

 

[Double J]

That's the thing though, it's Carlito, he's one of those guys that it's really hard to just "change his gimmick". He's been around to long and everyone knows him as the afro wearing, apple spitting, "That's not cool?" puerto rican.

I still think WWE F'd up when the split Primo and Carlito, what good did it do? Instead of having a popular, effective tag team; they now have two very simular singles competitors one face and one heel and nothing for either of them to do.

Carlito hasn't carred for awhile though, he was asking for his release a year or so ago and only reason he stayed was because they brought in his brother to tag with him.

 

[the hibee wwe fan]

Didn't Carlito threaten if he didn't get a serious push he would jump to TNA? Intresting if he does.

 

[LKP]

With this hogan thing going on now, Vince wont let him go. I bet you we will see him on ecw soon or back in the mid card mix on raw.

 

[Hometown Kid]

Carlito is alright, I have not been a huge fan of his. Even if he does not "care", it is more likely creative has no idea how to write proper wrestling storylines for non-main eventers (and well, they are only capable of writing extremely crappy storylines for most main eventers >_>). It is not like he is the only guy off TV or treading water. And btw, his last segment on Raw was getting punched out by one of the crappy guest hosts or Vince, can't remember which. But it was pathetic, I remember that much. Who wouldn't become jaded when you are scripted into segments like that?
