In the words of Jeff Garcia...
"One man's setback is another man's opportunity. Do these jeans make me look fat?" Get it? Because he seems a little gay? No? Not so much?
According to WWE.com, Triple H's quad tear will take him out of action for 4-6 months. With the D-X vs. Rated RKO storyline having been central to RAW for the last month or so, this creates quite a vacuum on Monday night television. Who's going to step up and fill it?
My answer? Carlito. I think this guy has been GROSSLY underused. I don't understand why they haven't been pushing him to the moon. He's terrific both in the ring and on the mic. He reminds me of a young Rock, just around the time he joined the Nation of Domination and his bad guy persona was just about starting to come out. Carlito has that "it" factor.
Perhaps they've been holding Carlito back because they don't want to rush a main event push. If this is the case, kudos to them. But the time may be now.
If I had the book, I'd have Carlito step up to help Shawn Michaels against Rated RKO. Then, I'd have him turn on Michaels, leaving him laying. Not that you need much reasoning for a heel turn, but Carlito could always say he's sick of being ignored and decided to make an impact by taking out a legend. A Michaels-Carlito feature match at Wrestlemania could be a classic and really put Carlito on the map as a main eventer. He could either turn on Torrie or she could turn into an uberbitch. The heels that have gotten over lately seem to have an arrogant woman by their side (Edge, King Booker, Johnny Nitro).
It's too bad Triple H went down. But one man's setback is another's opportunity. It's time for Carlito.
