This is a lie we tell Alienoid and small children.

"Mommy? Will Doug Basham be okay?"

"He's going to be fine, Billy. they're taking him down to Florida, to be used properly by the nice folks in TNA."

Reports came up that Carlito was first unmotivated when he was playing a shitty bland babyface. He just preferred the heel role. Oh, and he originally didn't want to be a wrestler, but his dad encouraged him. So it wasn't his first preference for a career? Mr. Kennedy is a trained actor, John Cena used to be a bodybuilder, as did Batista. Personally, I think Carlito is underused, and the move to TNA will do him good, because he is exactly the kind of talent that they need. He's able to move around the ring well, with the lucha stuff, he's able to talk, and he's flirted with the main event scene before in the WWE (so a push in TNA won't look out of place). Assuming Carlito did go to TNA, I think he would be a similar acquistion to Christian Cage. Carlito Colon was misused, underused and treated fairly badly at points during his WWE run, and they did the most they could do to squash his heat. In TNA, he would be able to bring out the qualities he wants, whilst not having a glass ceiling to battle. As for whether or not he could get motivated in TNA? I personally think he would, just to try and stick it to the WWE. Motivation comes from different places, and who knows, maybe Carlito will push himself and become the next "Stone Cold Steve Austin," in the sense that he gets shit from one employer, and then jumps to others and proves he can do what he does well.

Damnit Alieniod, this is a topic about Carlito. No one cares about your 7 point plan on getting Danny Basham as world champion.

Carlito is an interesting character but WWE forgot about him ala Shelton Benjamin and made him lose every bit of credibility he had. Personally I liked his in-ring work with Shelton Benjamin and Johnny Nitro

Carlito wasn't particularly an interesting character.

He's a decent performer, but as a character? No.

I thought he was interesting on SmackDown!. I mean, I loved it when he completely owned John Cena in his debut. He gave him the DDT in their segment together earlier in the show, and then spat in his face, then he out-smarted him and won the United States Title later. He was just too smart for Cena.

The whole stabbing Cena thing was kind of ridiculous, but it was fairly well done, until John Cena squashed Carlito who had a broken arm, and derailed him quite a bit. But yeah, originally the character was kind of cool when he was an annoying shit you wish you could punch in the face, but if you threw one his way, you'd not only miss, but your life would end up a living hell.

Every1 pretty much said everything I wanted to about Carlito but I think it will be stupid if he goes to the retirement home of wrestling that is TNA because it will get him nowhere because TNA is focusing only on the old guys these days and are ignoring the youth. This is stupid because these old guys arent gonna be there for too long, they are outdated and people are sick of them already.
