John Cena here. Had some memorable US title reigns whereas Carlito's was only memorable due to the fact he won the title on his debut on the brand.

 

[Keith]

See I don't agree with that, I think Cena was at his worse during this period, Booker T carried him to some passible matches, but there was very little else of note during his regins, also there was very little thought put into the booking of title and feuds surrending it then. While it was a short reign, I did think the way WWE bought Carlito and created a shock on his debut, along with how he carried the character at time proved effective.

I'll go Cena. I disagree with Keith. His matches were not very good at this time but the feuds with both the Big Show and Booker T were very solid. Carlito's biggest feud was with Cena.

Cena moves on.
