- Carlito told the Edmonton Sun that he's upset after being left off the WrestleMania card. When asked why he's off the card, he said, "Apparently, they had to make space for Kane vs. Khali and Melina vs. Ashley. How can I be at WrestleMania? If I politic and kiss ass, I should make it."

He then said, "I'm not going to cry or be bitter, there's always next year ... and I don't want to get fired. But they're showing disrespect by not having Ric Flair at WrestleMania and even more disrespect by not having Carlito there."

Carlito also said he doesn't like his role on Raw. "I absolutely hate being a babyface more than anything else," he said. Full Article

- Smackdown from last night averaged a 2.8 rating in the Fast National ratings off a first hour of 2.6 and second hour of 3.0. The show finished last for the night in the ratings, but beat ABC for fourth place in overall viewers.

Carlito has every reason to be upset. He and Flair had a story going and they (Stephanie and the rest of the creative team) probably felt like these guys don't deserve a damn spot at WM.

But Kane vs. Khali does...

 

Anyway, I agree for the most part. I prefer Carlito as a heel, and his situation right now is kind of pointless. And do you think WWE will find out about this article? He said he doesn't want to get fired, but he's pretty damn close if they take this the wrong way.

He needs to be sent back to SmackDown and go through a Cena type of push.

they're showing disrespect by not having Ric Flair at WrestleMania and even more disrespect by not having Carlito there."

This is a ridiculous statement. Does Carlito honestly think he's bigger than Ric Flair?

WTF? JML?

Yeah, I agree. I'm hoping that was a typo.

He can barely keep his offense looking good on Raw, let alone somewhere that would be 4x harder.

I think he was trying to be in character, thus the reference to himself in the third person.

Should the guy be on WrestleMania? Yes.

Should he be heel? Yes.

However, beyond that, I do not blame WWE for thinking Carlito has become lazy. For my liking, the guy lacks, for the most part, clear direction in the ring - lot of his stuff feels "random" and "half-assed." 

Plus, as far as his mic skills go, it feels very limited. In my mind, it is only one step above the level that RVD was at when he was limited to saying "dude," "cool" and "whatever."

Carlito has a point in what he is saying but to honest with you in the past few months how many "good" matches has he had?? I would say not many. He has been stuck with a silly apple gimmick with torri coming with him to the ring and not doing anything. I cannot say that he is a bad wrestler so him being left off of wrestlemania is not good especially when they are pushing a whole bunch of lesser talents on the show. Flair should have a spot on the show but who knows the show is tomorrow so maybe he will be in it.

He has not been doing so great since his hot run in the summer where he even got a World Title match if I remember right.  But if they turn him heel and get him back into a good feud or a IC Title feud then I think that would re energize him.  Say after Wrestlemania they can keep his team with Flair going for a month or two as top contenders (possibly champs) of the tag team division until Carlito turns on Flair then instant feud.  I think that would work plus once that feud is done then he can get back into the IC Title picture.

Bulls**t!
Kane and Khali will be the worst match of the night at WM and this shows the respect those a**holes have for Flair and Carlito,they would have had a way better match than those 2 and it's a shame WWE and whoever inside the company is responsible for this horrible decision have no respect for either one of them.
