The announcers don't stop mentioning the passion he wrestles with these days, so do you think he's found a new passion or they just gave him a few more moves to bust out?

To be honest, I don't think so. One step in that direction would be to eliminate having Torrie come out with him to ringside, but then again that's probably when he gets his most pops, so I dunno.
Looks and acts the same to me. Maybe in a few weeks there might be a drastic change, but right now I don't see it.

He was good before Flair and he's good now.

I just wish they would give him the cabana back. He was Jericho-like on SD!, but he has been neutered on Raw. His wrestling is ok and his look is marketable, even though the hair is annyoing to look at while he is wrestling.

I definitely think that there's been improvement; whether its him being more spontaneous in the ring, more versatile, more athletic, there's definitely something going on and I think people have seen that. I dunno whether Flairs hard-hitting shoot promos were the bonafide kick in the pants 'Lito needed, but I think that his work in the ring has reflected this passion, or whatever you want to call it.

I still think that they need to have their own snack chip called "Flairitos"

I liked him ten times better as a heel. The moment he became the face against Chris Masters, I knew it was gonna go downhill.

See I hate this! Carlito has so much potential but are so misusing him! It's like with TNA and Christian Cage. When they first brought him in they made him the good guy face and he was boring and lame. When they turned him heel Cage turned back into the awesome wrestler he was in WWE. Thats what they need to do to Carlito, make him a heel that cheats and go back to the who "I know Cool!" gimmick, also eliminate the springboard offense it just looks unconvincing and there you go Carlito would be fixed, I see this happening at Wrestlemania. Carlito could be the Kennedy or Christian of Raw. They just have to let him be and turn him heel and push him, than Raw will be way better.

He's always been good. Just lazy. Never really had an incentive to work towards to since they didn't seem to be looking to push him. Things might be changing soon though

Last year (After Wrestlemania) he started a thing with Masters. There was the break up of the team ("Maybe I lost on purpose" "You lost a tag title match on purpose? What are you a Meathead?" ) the Ill fated Masterlock challenge (Where using his apple to distract Meathead 'Lito then clobbered him with a chair, and then.......he fell into that pit of nothing. Hell there were times when he just got a 30 second backstage promo and those were comic gold (When Trish left and Torrie comforted him, "No Carlito isn't depressed...I mean..yeah I'm just real real sad") in comparison to most of the rest of the show....and even now with the Flair program, he's getting no real mic time. PUSH THE YOUNG GUYS VINCE. Triple H is hurt again....how many guys do you have that could be considered top contenders? (Money in the Bank...8 guys, who honestly belives that Finley, or the Hardys will win that? I'd add Punk to the List, but I don't watch ECW...at all, so I don't know if he's been built up enough to be in a main event) Not to say they don't have guys who COULD be main event challengers, but when they don't get pushed.... Just my thoughts..... |

His slow-ass springboard moves have sped up by a half-second. Give that man a belt.

Just my thoughts..... Bah, young workers are being pushed, are you blind? Check out the roster from say 2001/2002 to now, its almost completely turned over. You'll find that the young guys that do get pushed, almost always get crapped on by a bunch of people anyways. |

He was good before Flair and he's good now. I've seen Carlito live twice and he by far was the most dynamic guy in the ring, the biggest moves of the night. I've always liked him. |
