Early Wrestling Career Of Carlito And WWF Career
He started playing the role of a face player but eventually reverted to a heel wrestler when he transferred to Ohio Valley Wrestling. The Carlito wrestler who used to be a goody two shoes was now a sort of bad boy and this resulted to several disagreements with his father and his brother Eddie Colon. Carlito eventually debuted on Smackdown! And here he defeated the then famous John Cena and took from him the title of WWE United States Champion. The Carlito WWE champion did not stay so for long because Cena eventually took it away from Carlito due to a dislocated shoulder injury. While he was recuperating from the injury, there were many stories which the WWE circulated to create a fight between Carlito and Theodore Long. It was a somewhat funny time when Carlito was made to do menial jobs around the arena. Many Carlito videos doing these jobs were shown during fights in WWE. Not long after that, he eventually got better and staged a fight against one of his brothers in Puerto Rico.
Carlito has been teamed up with many different wrestlers during his more recent years fighting under the WWE. Many of his fans have admire him and emulate him by creating Carlito fan fiction and other websites that feature Carlito photos through the years. Several fans have also downloaded the Carlito theme song which is usually played when there is a Carlito entrance in the ring or arena.
