I don't know. I think Carlito is a good athlete but does TNA really want to invest in a guy who refused rehab? If they want him that bad they need to wait at least a year for all of this to kind of go away.
I guess no Colons

Christian, Matt Morgan, Tara, Anderson's on a role right now. Tis all I can think of off the top of my head.
Kennedy would have been huge in WWE had he not broken a bone every few months and dropped Orton on his head.
Tara was WWE Women's Champion... it doesn't get any better than that for a female wrestler. She was also in WWE at the height of their women's competition, when it was actually pretty legit.
Matt Morgan still blows.
Christian I think got the huge push because he was one of the first to jump ship to TNA so it was more a factor of them shoving it in WWE's face than anything else. Also, Christian got over on his own accord and is able to so in WWE as well, it's just a matter of them pulling the trigger on him.

I was skeptical on adding Tara to the list. Since she was once great and was the last person in the golden age of womans wrestling. But her last few years in the E was her jobbing and looking like a joke. Her TNA run wasn't as great as I thought it'd be, but she was still used better than when she left.
I stand by what I said about the others though.

Carlito has impressed me on a few occasions though. I'm not going to say that adding him to TNA will make him instantly amazing, because the writing will also play a large part in that... and we all know how TNA can be on that front. However, Carlito was a guy who had literally zero character development in his what...5-6? year run with WWE aside from a change in wardrobe and length of his fro. Give the guy a hair cut, repackage him as something other than an apple eating Puerto Rican and see if he can actually get a fire lit under his ass.
I think part of Carlito's problem was always that he spent the majority of his career working for daddy and probably got away with just coasting by. I think WWE actually severed ties with his father's promotion not too long ago, so I was just waiting to see how long this would take to happen.

I am surprised it took so long for Carlito to get canned. It's amazing how he held out this long. His best time was his feud with Cena, that's pretty much it...AND THAT WAS HIS FIRST MONTH OR TWO IN WWE.
It's a good thing Tarver got eliminated on NXT. They would have worked it into the storyline where Carlito walked out of Tarver and he goes ape shit.

Wow. Sums up my feelings. But to add some emphasis MATT MORGAN STILL BLOWS!
And Kennedy hasn't advanced any further in TNA than the E, he was going to be a WWE title contender until he snapped like glass for the umpteenth time.
Christian is probably the only legit case and even at that TNA was an even smaller pond back then. Once Angle and all the other guys started pouring in he was pushed to the back of the line.
I used to like Carlito tbh. I though in 2006 he was going to win a World title, but ever since then for whatever reason, whether it be the reasons already stated or otherwise, he got lazy and I lost all interest in him, the last thing I remember Carlito doing other than the Unified tag team title run and that promo on Cena before TLC was hsi little feud the the Sandman when he was on RAW.
I recall a few years back reading something that he wasn't in very good standing with the higher ups in the WWE, if that was in fact the case it's a suprise that he lasted that long.
Much like Enzo said, I am sick and tired of all the former WWE guys going straight to TNA, other than Christian, Morgan and Angle I don't recall anybody being overly succesful, Tara did everything in WWE as well as TNA as far as a women wrestler in concerned. Morgan was never anything more than a studdering idiot from my recolection. He is now, like him or not a potential future world champ. Carlito I honestly see going back to Puerto Rico to wrestle.

He got lazy? Fucking bullshit. He just never got the push he deserved. He had a great reign with his brother, added credibility back to the tag division, and he gets rewarded by going back to jobber status and breaking the team up. Fuck the WWE.
The fact is he was never given a chance after his tag titles reign with his brother.

I forgot all about that promo on Cena. That was actually really good stuff, I thought perhaps they had something planned for him until Cena came out and squashed him instantly...lol
Was this deliberate, considering he wanted out of WWE? I just thought of that, whats your opinions?
I got an update guys:

WWE sources indicate that Carlito, 31, did not fail a drug test but instead was fired after he arrived at Monday's Raw in Toronto and management felt that he was unfit to perform. (credit: The Wrestling Globe Newsletter)
