Carlos Colon Comments on Carlito's Release

I live in Puerto Rico, but i'm not a Carlito fan, I only liked him when he first started in WWE, his gimmick was ok and The Cabanna was nice, and he was getting a push...but before then, when he wrestled here, I didn't like him, and the version of Carlito we had up until he was fired, I didnt like either.

About the "Backstabber"...Hmmm...I don't know. I mean, I get what Carlos Colon Sr says, about the impact, and about a 200-300 pound man falling on your knees and having to take the impact...I mean, it's not like the Codebreaker, where the wrestler receiving it doesn't fall ON Jericho, they just take the hit and fall back, so in that regard I can see where, since when Carlito did the Backstabber, the wrestler fell ON him, it can bother his knees and back.

However...it's not like he did it EVERY time he wrestled...I mean...Carlito didn't exactly WIN a whole lot...so...I don't know. When I read the story in the newspaper, that part of it felt like it was told in "kayfabe"...either that, or he was trying to just give an excuse...after all, a parent will "back" their kids no matter what they do, I mean...they ARE their kids...and...sometimes as parents, you try to excuse your kid's behaviors...though you shoudn't.

PS: In the story, Carlos Colon Sr said that if Carlito agreed to get treatment, he would be "rehired" automatically...don't know how true THAT is.
