John Cena is beginning to piss me off with this invincibility streak.

Oh man, I don't think it's just the beginning of your anger. I think the piss factor is in full effect.

Yeah, lets give the belt back to Triple H. No wait, that pisses people off too. Let's put it on Ric Flair! No wait, that'll piss the hell out of people for an old guy like that who was supposed to be retired years ago (and why won't that Undertaker dude go away??) ... ... Let's put it on Edge! Oh wait no, he pisses people off too. Alright, then we'll just put it on... Carlito. Yeah, that's cool!

No, lets put it on Angle! He hasn't had that belt yet. Or on the Rock! He can take it with him to Hollywood for a couple of months and we'll have no world title belt on RAW. Maybe then people would stop pissing about who should have the damn thing.

You know what's sad? Carlito probably will win a heavyweight title in the future. I don't know what WWE and anyone else sees in him. I mean, he's okay on the mic and mildly entertaining in backstage vignettes. But his ring presence/ability doesn't even slightly reflect all the skills he likes to say he has.

EDIT: By no means am I saying Carlito is a bad wrestler. What I mean is that there are several superstars who are far more deserving, in my eyes, of getting the push that he's getting.

I really don't understand why he gets pushed and Shelton Benjamin gets made to look totally worthless.

Carlito didn't belong on the RAW Survivor Series team and he SURE as hell doesn't belong in the elimination chamber. I'm praying that tonight's Beat the Clock has the stipulation where if a superstar doesn't defeat his opponent, he is replaced in the elimination chamber by that opponent. Please, whoever the god of wrestling justice is, PLEASE let Shelton Benjamin be Carlito's opponent tonight and PLEASE let Shelton finally win and take his rightful place in the WWE Title picture.

Is there going to be a Beat The Clock tonight? That's funny, they had a BTC exactly one year ago as well, I remember it cause I saw it live on Spike TV.

That's the night they revealed HBK as the ref for the Elimination Chamber.

Well, I'm not seeing RAW live this year, so I'm gonna be waiting for it a little bit. I always thought that Carlito was pretty underdeveloped wrestling wise. He's more of a luck of the draw kinda guy. Always lucks out when he wins something. Which is probably the whole idea behind his character.

Dunno what the deal is with Shelton Benjamin and his "attitude" stuff. Don't like the angle very much. Probably a desperation attempt at giving him a personality of sorts.

Beat the clock is on tonight. The only match I wont watch is the Chris Disasters one.

And yes, luck of the draw is Carlito's charcter. He doesn't have a finisher, except cheating like a bastard. And for me that's perfect. He's clearly modelled as the next Ric Flair and is a damn top heel.

Carlito is Ric Flair without the credibility and the ability to beat anyone who's worth anything. He certainly is a dirty player, yes. But it doesn't really mean much when you consider he can't beat anyone who isn't a woman or Shelton Benjamin.

Carlito's somewhat official finishing move is that weird spinning/swinging/however-you-describe-it neckbreaker that he beat Victoria with tonight. He's won approximately TWO other matches with that move in the entire 14 months he's been in the WWE. All the rest were won via interference, low blow, tight pull, rope leverage, or Shelton Benjamin downward spiral.

Yet somehow, he's in the main event. That baffles me.

PapRoach123 · 12-29-2005, 12:53 PM

Agreed. The next Ric Flair seems a little much, as Carlito comes across as a whimp. Great performer though. It's fun to have him there, but I too am a little clueless as to what their plans are with him. Which is actually a good thing, cause I like sitting back and being surprised.

HHH up five places with one sledgehammer shot?! Batista's only down one after losing a title and they also put that he's being sued for Harassment as a factor!

Jesus WWE. Stop screwing with my brain!
