Name yourself. You just took a classic and replaced it with generic nonsense #5

I wonder if they don't have the rights to it anymore since it was a Jim Johnston song.

His theme was always kind of just generic done in two seconds crap anyway and this theme is somehow STILL a massive downgrade.

Replacing an iconic, well known theme in wrestling almost never works, but when you do it to someone who has had the same theme in WWE for like 15 years, it seems really redundant
Carlito's theme wasn't like the flashiest but it was memorable, didn't vibe with it, especially if you aren't really gonna try with the new theme which as the OP said, it was generic as shit lol

I said it in the live thread they could also have decided they want to move away from the spitting thing.
I mean I guess they could have just replaced the intro bit with the "I know cool..." or whatever it says now.

The same idiots who've replaced everyone else's great themes.
Gunther and Asuka seem to be the exceptions that still got decent sounding themes in the alterations.

The theme part is fine but they could have left the intro hook in at least for the return.

Jimmy Hart composed Dusty Rhodes's WWE theme, then made a knockoff of it for WCW because WWE owned the original. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmqVUWRD6cI

Maybe we could keep the theme and replace him.

I hate Carlito and even I think this is a travesty. He has one of the most distinct themes in all of wrestling

And as anyone who had Spanish class knows, Carlitos means Little Carl.

Whoever changed his theme deserves to get hit with the slickest, quickest, most devastating finishing move of all time... the Overdrive.

I can't figure out why they had Quien So Yo made for him and never used it.
