That's Cool
One guy who was really upset about being left off of Wrestlemania is
Carlito. At the WWE THQ Superstar Challenge, Carlito won one of his
matches and was reportedly overheard saying, and this is not a direct
quote, "Great, I can win here and can't at Wrestlemania." He wasn't in
the best of spirits. To add to that, his feelings have been confirmed
in an article today in the Ottawa Sun.
"I'm out of Wrestlemania," he says. Carlito then takes a subtle shot
at some of the people who will be wrestling at WrestleMania by saying,
"Apparently, they had to make space for Kane vs. Khali and Melina vs.
Ashley. How can I be at Wrestlemania? If I politic and kiss ass, I
should make it."
Carlito also added, "I'm not going to cry or be bitter, there's always
next year ... and I don't want to get fired. But they're showing
disrespect by not having Ric Flair at Wrestlemania and even more
disrespect by not having Carlito there."
He also admits to hating his current role in WWE as a babyface. "I
absolutely hate being a babyface more than anything else," he says.
WWE has a strict policy about their talent speaking to the media, and
frowns upon any negative remarks such as those made by Carlito. It is
extremely rare to see a WWE wrestler make comments like this, and
there will almost surely be repurcussions.
