Jobbing to Hornswoggle.
But even before then, Carlito sucked for quite a while.

I think he was getting quite good reactions when he was just spitting apples in peoples faces and being a jerk. It was the fruit based equivalent of the Orton punt. Then he turned face and they tried to make him "funny".

i don't think he went wrong. he was hired due to blood line/lineage, got a great debut on both shows.
he won titles, had some momentum, then verbally stated his lack of passion which showed in his matches.
yet he still gets paid more a year than many of us combined, and does relatively nothing even though he is a great talker and funny when his material is good. he reminds me of guys in WCW on guaranteed contracts. he gets paid to sit at home, show up once a month or so (before NXT) and "earn" his paycheck.
he's the one guy in WWE i would gladly switch places with.

Carlito just strikes me as one of those half-assed gimmicks that they never completed.
It's the wrestler's fault. Creative can only come up with so much for your character; it's up to you to make it marketable and appealing to the fans. Steve Austin can tell you that first-hand.

When he had a feud with Hornswoggle.
I mean in July 2007 he PINNED JOHN CENA on Raw and had like 15 Min Carlitos Cabana Segments and then for some reason he got in a feud with hornswoggle...

Going to Raw & turning face. When he first debuted, he reminded me of a latino Roddy Piper with twice the workrate. IMO Carlito has all the tools to be a main eventer, but he just... isn't.

Don't forget the period inbetween when he was fed to HHH shortly after he returned from injury. That "Carlito cannot get DQ'd" match at Unforgiven '07 was essentially a glorified squash.

Being a whiny ass most of the time.
Although splitting up The Colons has to be one if not the worst booking decision of 2009.

The face turn was what killed him for me. It was not cool.
