Carlito reflects on his latest WWE run.
Former WWE Superstar Carlito was a recent guest on Busted Open Radio. When asked comedic role as a member of The Judgment Day, Carlito said all of those ideas came from him.
“I orchestrated that,” Carlito revealed. “Some people were complaining, ‘They have him as an idiot,’ but those were all my ideas. I took, literally, ‘creative has nothing for you,’ and I made something of it. I went in there and I said, ‘I’m not going to complain.’”
Carlito would go on to acknowledge he knew he wasn’t going to get pushed because Triple H wasn’t a big fan of his character.
I’m one of the older guys, I’m not going to get prioritized and I’m not gonna get pushed, and Hunter [Triple H] is not a fan of Carlito. I think he personally likes me, but I think he was never a big fan of the character,” Carlito continued. “What I did was, ‘I’m in the Judgment Day, it’s the hottest group here, how can I stay in this group? Boom. This is what it’s missing.’
“The writers were great, they gave me a bunch of freedom. They would come to me and say, ‘We have this backstage (segment), we don’t really have anything for you here, but we were hoping you would Carlito-fy it,’ is what they would say. I would find where I could do something. It took off from there and every week it was great. They gave me total freedom to do whatever I wanted.” [H/T: Fightful]
