Rate the Wrestler Day 1 - Carlito

[monkeystyle]

So if I recall correctly it's been a while since I did this and so for shits and giggles we're going to start this over again. Now I want fair opinions here, so that means when it's time to rate NASH I don't want to see 876 10/10's. If that does happen I will add the word NASH to the censored words list. We could use a new n-word on there anyway. So on with the show, rate out of 10. Whole numbers and .5's only. No 8.7 or anything ridiculous like that.

WWE US Champion from John Cena
WWE IC Champion from Shelton Benjamin
WWE Tag Titles from Ryder & Hawkins
WWE Unified Tag Titles from Miz & Morrison

I always liked Carlito as a character but his wrestling has always come off a lazy in its execution. He's a decent promo and he does have a nice move set even if it does look lazy.

6.5/10

I just don't respect the guy. Sure, you can trust every report out there, but there has to be some truth about the constant reports about him just not caring enough and being too laid back about his position.

As for his in ring work, he can do great things and is fairly entertaining. He's painful in the mic though with that accent.

6/10

50/50 to point the blame on Carlito and the WWE for him not getting what he should have got. He being a lazy cunt and WWE for screwing his career in an instant.

so im going with 5/10 for not amusing me nor boring me.

btw I was thinking to remake RTM too...

8/10. I've always liked Carlito and he's still one of the wrestlers who I look out for.

Rating might be high for a character who's had no development whatsoever, but I believe this guy is a gem and it'd be easy for him to bounce back.
they'll eventually give him another chance.

I doubt Carlito would be a pain to travel with, so I don't know what's with all the hate. His "lazy" wrestling I thought was more of a restricted heel moveset. The man probably told him not to do anything flashy since he was putting people over. They've shit on Carlito for years. He must of told the man off or something. So he's the shit in my books.

That is an immense idea.

no I wasnt referring to his wrestling being lazy. He is LAZY when it comes to discipline in training and following orders. Remember the backstage talk between Ric Flair and Carlito? it was kayfabe yes, but still an indirect message for Carlito to work harder.

6/10, in his current state. I've always had a soft spot for Carlito. I quite liked him when he first debuted. It seriously looked for a while like they were going to push him pretty hard. Two instant title wins upon debuting on each brand, matches with Cena, the Elimination Chamber..ect. To an extent it's his fault that he's lazy, but then again you can't blame the guy. He's had zero character development since debuting aside from random heel/face turns and a brief pairing with his brother. He's always been quite entertaining on the mic as well.
I think he's one of the more solid performers in the ring when he actually steps up his game and can't ever remember myself not enjoying his in work. Part of his problem has to also come from the fact that his father owns the major promotion down in Puerto Rico and I'm sure Carlito was probably babied down there and allowed to put in minimal effort to big results.
Carlito's current endless drifting gets him a 6 in my book, but I think he definitely has the potential to crank it up to a 7 or 8 with the right motivation/gimmick/push.

I had really hoped that his angle with Ric Flair a few years ago would be the catalyst for Carlito but it never worked out.

WWC spoiled Carlito and Primo's attitude (Primo is also already complaining). They are treated like royalty in there by his dad and even by the fans, and they stupidly think they are cheering them because they are damn awesome (while I think they are cheering them just because they are seeing their WWE heroes)


Nonetheless, Carlito should have been kept at least as a solid midcarder. Remember when Matt Hardy was booked decently in 2007 and with Edge having nobody else to face Matt Hardy vs Edge could actually happen? Carlito should be that to John Cena.

I'll probably do it. If not tonight, it's tomorrow.

6.5/10

I didn't like Carlito when he 1st debuted, but shortly after, he grew on me. He's good in the ring, alright on the mic, but as some noumenon said, zero character development. That would have helped alot. I don't know if the reports of him being lazy are true or not, so I wont go into that. His current booking has been crap. Hell, his booking for the best couple years has been shitty.

WWC spoiled Carlito and Primo's attitude (Primo is also already complaining).

The only report that I've read about Primo was that he didn't like what they were doing with him right now (which is nothing btw). Shame on Primo for wanting to wrestle.

Carlito was good back in the day when he debuted and used to spit on people's faces and shit (around WM 21 time) but ever since the Primo/ tag team thing took in, he's gotten boring.

But just for the good laughs back then, 7/10.

And what about the 3 years in between? :shifty:

 

[C4]

Where was he? Lol.

Didn't notice him on WWE programming tbh.
