Thinking about it, Carlito was given a lot of big opportunities. His confrontation with Steve Austin and Roddy Piper at Mania 21 was kind of the start of it all, but he never took it to that "next level" to make himself a star. As much as I hate the prick, I actually agree with Triple H when he dogged Carlito for not taking advantage of the opportunity to work with a legend like Ric Flair. That's the type of thing that will never come again in your career, so even if you feel that this "legend" is beneath you in terms of current drawing power and card-level, you should still take advantage because it should be a wind-mill type of effect: Flair is on his way down and Carlito is on his way up and they won't see each other again.
Instead, Carlito dragged both of them down and broke the fucking windmill. I really hope he makes good on his new life in the WWE, but if he fails and discredits himself into a lifetime of mediocrity in the vein of one Teddy Hart, then so be it, and I won't miss him one damn.
