Carlito is a black hole of charisma. Anybody who says otherwise clearly has never seen 2004-2008 Carlito. This, this and...this.

I remember I was on the fence with ordering the Rumble two years ago, then read the spoiler that Booker and Nash would be in and that sealed the buy.
I was on the fence again this year until I read this spoiler. This seals my not buying the show.

Can I just say f*** YOU to every f***ing wrestling website for spoiling that two "former IC champions" would be in the Rumble? I wanted to stay surprised this year but these assholes couldn't just say "two former superstars confirmed" Carlito and Shelton are the first names that you think of when they say "two former IC champs"? It could have been anybody from Billy Gunn to Ken Shamrock to Val Venis to the Godfather. Could have been Tito Santana and Hardcore Holly.

Do you think WWE will actually be surprised when these two come out and no one gives a shit?
I bet they will, they will never have seen it coming.

I almost got to see the Rumble without having the surprises spoiled for once until Chris Masters tweeted it a minute ago. Always been a Carlito fan (never noticed his laziness) and Shelton can have a good match with anybody. I still wish JoMo was in it, though.

I can see Carlito getting a decent pop, Shelton not so much. Carlito was getting Conway pops by the time he left in 2010. This would be a stark turnaround. And didn't Shelton already deny oh wait that's right wrestlers lie all the time.

I don't really consider it confirmed unless WWE announces it, but this seems likely. Not huge on Carlito being back, but good for Shelton.

As long as Shelton comes back as a non-blonde, I'm totally stoked for this.

I'd love to see vignettes of Carlito trying and find his NXT guy, only to find that he got released.

Do you think WWE will actually be surprised when these two come out and no one gives a s***? I bet they will, they will never have seen it coming. That'll be nothing compared to a surprise return by Jack Swagger.

On one hand I despise Carlito with a passion, on the other there's a slim chance that he's gonna be winning all that much so I get to take great pleasure from every Brogue Kick that homes in on his face.

I actually think these are just one-offs, but man, words cannot describe my excitement for Carlito. I don't care if he gets a small pop. As someone who grew to like him even more when he left the company, I'll be happy to see him. Think of all the money WWE could make with the 'Body Guy' shirts, though!

Would they really help out the midcard division or would they just be "token midcarders" like Kofi? The best way to help out the midcard division would be to showcase the guys they already have. They wouldn't be like Kofi because they wouldn't be winning the IC/US title every few months. They'd help because they more credible than most of the midcarders already on the roster, so someone beating them would actually mean something. Not to mention they are both the kinds of wrestlers that can get a good match out of just about anyone, and the WWE can never have too many of those. That's kind of what I mean. Would they be the only midcard guys that are allowed to be booked with any type of credibility or to be showcased in any way?

I expect Carlito's return to be a one night only deal. Maybe Shelton will stay. Heard Jomo and MVP will be in the rumble too.

huh? conway pops for carlito, shelton and masters for sure. stupid decision if they'd get contracts and some kind of push, they will never really get over (and I liked shelton & masters)
MVP & jomo certainly have the abilities and the fans' respect, but I doubt they will ever get into a real main event level spot
vince should rely on cesaro, ziggler, bryan, barrett, sandow, cody & the shield. they are the future

Carlito will be eliminated by Hornswaggle.
Shelton will face off with Kofi in a battle of who's the midcardiest.

If Carlito comes back, this needs to be his theme: I played this and lol'd, then one of the related videos was the time where Raw guest host "Dule Hill" has the graphic guy type in a random code for an opponent for Carlito, who turns out to be Kelly Kelly. The match is about to take place when Santino interrupts. Santino comes out and goes "CHECK OUT THE BEST OF RAW 2009 DVDS WHICH IS ON SALE NOW!" and takes Kelly's place. Then while Santino is walking down the ramp Swagger runs out and attacks him from behind, and Carlito just leaves the ring. what a dumb segment

Putting him with Primo livened him up. Perhaps him with Primo AND Epico will give him a real fire under his ass.
