source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter
It has been all but confirmed that Carlito is leaving WWE. He recently gave his notice and he is expected to finish up with the company sometime in December.
No details have come out yet regarding his contract term, which would obviously prevent him from jumping to TNA right away. For the duration of the deal, they'll probably let him work wherever he wants except TNA, so the duration of the rest of the current deal is key here.
Carlito hasn't been happy since around WrestleMania. At times, agents have praised his work, but the feeling is that he only does enough to get by, but not enough to excel. Also, WWE officials weren't happy with an interview he did during the week of WrestleMania where he complained about being left off of the card.
Carlito is booked to appear at a big wrestling show in Puerto Rico on January 6. AAA in Mexico is also trying to land him.

I'm not surprised by Carlito leaving at all.
Also, that Lionel Hutz game wouldn't be any good because Phil Hartman isn't around to do Hutz's voice.

Given they put him on TV every week, it seems.... odd.
I guess we'll know around January.

They could chop up all of Hartman's recorded words to give Hutz new dialogue.

Oh, many thanks for the compliments! I'm sure they could just get Billy West to do the voice for Lionel Hutz. ;D
But yeah, this pretty much confirms it. Its nothing really new.

I thought he just didn't have a passion for wrestling in general. Why go to TNA?

I will predict the future of Carlito in the WWE. Either on Raw or on a PPV he will lose to Hornswoggle in a loser must leave the WWE match(not a loser leaves Raw match , but must leave the WWE completely).

With the ways things have been lately, I'm not surprised in the least.
Also, Lionel Hutz: Lazy Attorney wouldn't require much voice acting if it was a DS game. If they have a clip of Hartman saying "Objection!" they're good to go.

Yes, but is Carlito still cool? Will the whole roster spit on him as he leaves the arena for the final time?

But wasn't Mark Henry also supposed to have retired by now? Sooooo why do people believe these "sources?"

Carlito will get fed to Snitsky on some RAW in the near future to build him up. JR will scream about how Carlito "has a family" and about how Snitsky's an evil monster. Snitsky will look more evil and have "Put Carlito Out Permanently" to add to his credentials, and Carlito will go back to his dad's fed in Puerto Rico.

That's probably true, but then it was latter reported that Mark Henry was offered a deal he just couldn't turn down. I actually don't know what to think. Except that I would totally mark if this game ever happened! |
