This sounds like BS. A lot of PWNs stuff lately has sounded like complete conjecture.

If he ever looked like he gave a damn he might not be getting laid out next to Jobber McJobberson by the walking penis Snitsky.

Have we ever heard an actual wrestler call Carlito lazy, outside of maybe a promo? How the hell would we as nonwrestlers know how hard he's working?
Doing spingboard moves is always challenging, especially on ring ropes instead of cables like most wrestling companies use. He doesn't have to do them. He'd get the same reactions either way on the mic.
Yeah, "lazy" isn't something I'm buying here.

Not by name,but I guess if you look at the comments he made about guys playing video games or leaving the building early instead of watching Trips wrestle at the No Mercy PPV, then maybe it could be implied he was talking about those two as Benjamin is a game freak and Carlito from reports isn't very happy. |

I'll throw a wrench in and defend Carlito - I actually believe that due to the fact that WWE wants everyone to work the exact same style, and Carlito is thus able to do so very effortlessly, it thus seems like he isn't giving his all. Which is true, because he doesn't have to to work "WWE Style." And it's BS, as (off topic) their policy of robbing everyone's uniqueness is so counterproductive that it's vaguely comedic.
I can see where Carlito is angry.

Carlito is said to be unhappy with how things are going for him nowadays in WWE. The feeling backstage is that he doesn't have the attitude it takes to get a major push. The belief is that he isn’t giving 100% in his matches. pwinsider that's the truth though. the guy wrestles like he doesn't care. I don't get why a guy in his position would be all sad, it's on him not on WWE to improve. screw Carlito there's guys trying much harder with a lesser role than him. |

WWE, please get rid of him. No employment needs a lazy worker leeching a paycheck.

It's a pity, because I've always thought he could be great.
He's one WWE employee I wouldn't mind seeing in TNA.

You know, Carlito really started to have some great momentum in his debut. He had a unique (although somewhat borrowed) character and had some decent wrestling skills mixed in. It's a shame he feels he is unhappy, but really, if he is that unhappy in his spot, I question his desire to be in the wrestling business. You are in the TOP promotion in the world and crying about your spot... maybe I'm a different person, but if I was in WWE, I would be happy to be there in the first place and actually get consistent opportunities to wrestle on national TV and Pay-Per-View. If he needs to be released to re-fresh his attitude, then so be it. That's just my 2 cents.

I wonder, is his brother Eddie still under contract? I just remember WWE signing him forever ago and never heard about them doing anything with him. Maybe a team with his brother could help his problems?

Carlito has the potential...he just needs the drive. And as much as you think busting your ass will get you to the top, it sometimes isn't the case. For example, "The Natural" Shelton Benjamin.
He cut his fro. It's the Felicity effect.

He's not happy with the company, the company's not happy with him, I'm sure as hell not happy having to watch him.
Why can't they make everyone happy and send him on his way?

He does not put 100% in, that is for sure. He basically stopped caring after they turned him heel again. If he is upset because they are not putting him in the main event of giving him any titles, he should do something about it. Go out there and work that crowd into a frenzy. Carlito is acting a little too much like Marcus Bagwell. He has genuine talent and charisma, but he seems to think he doesn't have to earn a slot at the top, it is just supposed to be thrown to him. And if that is his attitude, he probably should be wished well in future endeavors.
